Overview

The appliance can take snapshots of volumes. A volume snapshot is a read-only copy of a volume as it was at a particular point in time.

The appliance automatically takes snapshots before performing a cloud backup or running an outgoing synchronization rule for a NEXT3 volume, so as to ensure that a consistent image of all files is transmitted. In addition, you can schedule automatic daily snapshots and take snapshots manually.

You can use snapshots to access previous versions of your volumes and the files contained therein.
