Snapshot Client Options dialog box

Use this dialog box to select a snapshot method for the backup. If you do not use this dialog box (and a method is not already selected), NetBackup attempts to select a snapshot method when the backup starts.

Configure each policy for a single method and include only clients and backup selections for which that snapshot method can be used. For example, for the nbu_snap method (which applies to Solaris clients only), create a policy that includes only Solaris clients. The snapshot method you select must be compatible with all items in the policy's Backup Selections list.

The Snapshot Client Options dialog box contains the following options:

Snapshot method

The available snapshot methods depend on how your clients are configured and which attributes you selected on the Policy Attributes tab.

See Snapshot method descriptions.
Configuration parameters
The configuration parameters depend on the snapshot method you select.
Snapshot Resources

Snapshot resources are required by certain disk array snapshot methods.

If snapshot resources are not required for the snapshot method you selected, the Add, Change, Remove, and Remove All buttons are grayed out.

See Add or change snapshot resource .
