Associate a local snapshot with a server file space

To associate data on the local snapshot with the real file space data that is stored on the IBM® Storage Protect server, use the snapshotroot option.

By using the snapshotroot option with the archive command with a vendor-acquired application that provides a snapshot of a logical volume, you can associate the data on the local snapshot with the real file space data that is stored on the IBM Storage Protect server.

You cannot use the snapshotroot option to take a volume snapshot, but you can use the option to manage data that is created by a volume snapshot.
