Creating Snapshot Jobs
Snapshot Jobs make a record of one or more server configurations at a point in time. You can base Snapshot Job on components or server objects. To create a Snapshot Job, see the following sections:
Before you begin
Ensure that you have enough space on the application server and on the file system for the temporary storage of .snp and .bnp files, which are created during the execution of the Snapshot Job and are automatically deleted after the job has completed. For more information, see Resource usage of Snapshot, Audit, and Compliance Jobs and Snapshot storage.
Note
When choosing the object or component that you want to snapshot, take into account the size of the object and focus on the minimum object scope. For example, do not choose an entire file system, as the typical size of a file system can cause the Snapshot Job to fail.
