Creating a snapshot
Snapshots are automatically created by the NetBackup for OpenStack scheduler. If necessary or in the case of a deactivated scheduler, you can create a snapshot on demand.
Note:
NetBackup for OpenStack does not support backup of swap disks and ephemeral disks.

- On the Horizon console, navigate to NBOS Backups > Protection.
