that does not seem to work for me. I have setup a snapshot and created a schedule that should renew the snapshot on weekdays at 0:00 but that doesn't seem to happen.
The run-up is the following:
- created a snapshot and a schedule that says: Weekday Snapshot, Weekly Mo. Tu. We. Th. Fr. at 00:00
- then the snapshot had been inactivated, due to teh fact that I copied more data on the voluem than would fit into the snapshot
- actiuvated the snapshot again manually yesterday
- the snapshot didn't remew last night at 0:00
So, could it be that, once a snapshot overflows, one has to wait until the next scheduled activation for the snapshot to re-appear?
I have the same problems like budy.
One snapshot is scheduled to be activated/renewed every day at 20:00.
If I press the green play button before 20:00, the snapshot is started but never renewed at 20:00. The task status shows the start time of the manual activation.
If i do not press the play button, the snapshot is activated correctly at 20:00 but never renewed and the task shows the start time of the first activation at 20:00.
yes, I second that. I have tried that three times and I never could get it to work.
I wanted to go live with my setup in Jan. but it seems that I can't.
right. I have setup my volumes again, since I felt that I messed something up along my way, when I was playing around, but I will now recreate my replication setup and monitor it closely.
I will setup two snapshot schedules:
a) each weekday at 0:00, no end time
b) each saturday at 0:00, no end time
Will this be a problem? Unfortuanetly, I cannot have a schedule that runs for exactly two days, say from Sat. 0:00 until Sun 23:59, can I?
The snapshot are for backing up the target volume and will be mounted ro on my backup server.
If this setup is okay, then I will proceed and watch out for any issues that are related to the problems I had and send the logs to support.
