Backing Up Server and Volume Settings
In addition to backing up the data stored on the Snap Server, you may also back up
its system and volume settings. The
Maintenance > Disaster Recovery
screen allows
you to create the files you need to restore these settings: (1) server-specific settings
such as server name, network, RAID, volume and share configurations, local user
and group lists, and snapshot schedules; and (2) volume-specific settings such as
ACLs, extended attributes, and quota settings.
