I'd like to know if its possible to set a time for the Nightly and Weekly vol snapshots to occur.?

I know you can set times for the hourly but is that the only one you can adjust?

If you can set them to a time other than midnight, how would you do this?

thanks,

John

No by using the system's internal scheduling.  We use a Windows server to send RSH commands for VM snapshot schedule.  The script is called by task scheduler and you can call the snapshot what every you like to call them.  As such, I assume that you could use this same process to call the 'nightly.bat' script to run, say at 2am, and then use the default naming scheme.  Just make sure to turn of the NetApp scheduled snapshots.
