background image

Description

Deletes PiT or snapshot. If the LastInstance flag is used, the preceding snapshot or PiT name
is the root name, and the most recently created snapshot or PiT (with a template name) is the subject
of the command.

GetCreationTime

command

Syntax

GetCreationTime -Template FullNameWithSuffix

Description

Returns PiT or snapshot creation time from its full name (name must have been created using the
CLI with the template flag). The returned time string is according to the local time zone settings and
has the form Wed Jan 02 02:03:55 1980. A 24–hour clock is used.

NOTE:

When a PiT is created using the Template argument, the CLI embeds the time in the

created name. The time is set from the CLI and the GetCreationTime command gets this encrypted
time from the PiT name.
