You can create a snapshot policy for each volume so that you can recover or restore the entire contents of a volume from an earlier time. You can also create an on-demand snapshot of a cloud volume when needed.
You can create an on-demand snapshot of a cloud volume if you want to create a snapshot with the current volume state.
You can create or modify a snapshot policy as necessary for a cloud volume. You define the snapshot policy from the Snapshot Policy tab either when creating a volume or when editing a volume.

Open the working environment.
-
Hover over the volume and click Edit.
-
From the Snapshot Policy tab, move the enable snapshots slider to the right.

Define the schedule for snapshots:
-
Click Add volume or Update volume to save your policy settings.
You can disable a snapshot policy to stop snapshots from being created for a short period of time while retaining your snapshot policy settings.
-
Open the working environment.
-
Hover over the volume and click Edit.
-
From the Snapshot Policy tab, move the enable snapshots slider to the left.

You can revert a volume to an earlier point in time from an existing snapshot.
When you revert a volume, the content of the snapshot overwrites the existing volume configuration. Any changes that were made to the data in the volume after the snapshot was created are lost.
Note that clients do not need to remount the volume after the revert operation.
