Ok, sorry, but more clarification is needed.

I set up 4 snapshots so that 002 - 004 do not overlap, and each cover a 3 hour 59 minute window.

I have two issues:

1) The drop-list to select the snapshot for local backup shows no entries (Maintenance/Backup/Local Backup/Snapshot). Why?

Also, if I try to backup without any snapshot selected why does a message pop up saying:

"No snapshot choosed.
Backup can be made only from snapshots with no create- and remove-time assigned."


2) Only the active snapshot actually contains files, the other 3 are empty and designated as "unused"


My goal is to have multiple restore points available concurrently. Is this possible?

It would appear that placing an end time on a snapshot causes it to write to the mail volume and "empty" itself. While this is fine, it is not what I need for my implementation.

The obvious solution is to not put end-times on snapshots, which would cause them to persist for 24 hours until refreshed at the next start time. Sounds great, but when you have more than one snapshot in this mode, I need to know how they interact with each other with respect to writes to the main volume. All the questions I asked previously about interaction still apply.

Thanks in advance for your help.
