All snapshots captured for filesystems are read-only mode. The host is appended as per the existing rules for a particular share.
The limit for any filesystem name is 128 characters on the array. In case of a snapshot copy, the maximum length you can have the volume name is 128 - 23(NB<unique_21digit_number>) = 103. A volume name must be limited to 94 characters for a successful snapshot capture.
You are expected to create at least one share before the backup of a filesystem. If not, the request will fail to map the resources for backup job.
