On the General tab, enter a name for the strategy and then specify the number of snapshots to
keep and mount on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Keep in mind the maximums allowed for
your array type.

Daily means that one snapshot is kept per day for the specified number of days. For example, if
you enter 6 as the daily count, the snapshot feature keeps 1 snapshot per day through the 6th day.
On the 7th day, the oldest snapshot is deleted. Similarly,Weekly specifies the number of weeks
that snapshots are retained, and Monthly specifies the number of months that snapshots are retained.

On the Advanced tab, you can create templates for naming the snapshots and mountpoints. This
step is optional.
