Associate a local snapshot with a server file space (UNIX and Linux®)

Use the snapshotroot option with the incremental and selective commands in conjunction with an independent software vendor application that provides a snapshot of a logical volume, to associate the data on the local snapshot with the real file space data that is stored on the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

The snapshotroot option does not provide any facilities to take a volume snapshot, only to manage data created by a volume snapshot.
