Minute level snapshot policy for granular point in time restore

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We would like to get minute level snapshot policy for granular point in time restore which allows our users to have and ability to go back in time in case of any issues.


Now the policies are available only for hourly, daily and weekly.

On our current setup we are taking snapshots every 5 minutes and retain all the snapshots for 12 hours then retain 4 snapshots per day for 1 more day

    Thank you for submitting this Idea. The built-in scheduler does not support 5 min granularity or multiple schedules with different retention periods, but both are currently possible using external software or scripts.

    We may look at enhancing the built-in scheduler in the future.



    Thanks,
    FlashSystem Team
