What are manual snapshots?

A manual snapshot is a snapshot which is triggered by the user and not by the system. Manual snapshots are not taken into consideration by the retention policy. This means that a manual snapshot will stay active until you choose to delete it.

How to trigger a manual snapshot?

Go to the page of the cloudlet you want to backup and hover the mouse on its name. From the dropdown that opened click the option Take snapshot now.
