On the General tab, enter a name for the strategy. For the Type, select either Day/Week/Month
or Regular.

For Day/Week/Month, 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.

NOTE:

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 Month specifies the number of months
that snapshots are retained.

For Regular, specify the total number of snapshots to keep and mount, keeping in mind the
maximums allowed for your array type.

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