snapshotPolicy

Specifies the snapshot policy for the volume. There are three built-in snapshot policies:

  • default: This is the default policy. A maximum of six hourly snapshots taken five minutes past the hour. A maximum of two daily snapshots taken Monday through Saturday at 10 minutes after midnight. A maximum of two weekly snapshots taken every Sunday at 15 minutes after midnight.

  • default-1weekly: This policy is the same as the default policy except that it only retains one snapshot from the weekly schedule.

  • none: This policy does not take any snapshots. This policy can be assigned to volumes to prevent automatic snapshots from being taken.

You can also provide the name of a custom policy that you created with the ONTAP CLI or REST API.
