Symptoms

A user snapshot of a replica package created on the replication target appliance is silently deleted.

Cause

This is part of the replication process and is working as expected.

Any change made to a replication package on the target appliance will be rolled back as part of the next replication update. This includes snapshots.

Solution

Do not create snapshots of replication packages directly on the target. Snapshots should be created on the source appliance and allowed to replicate over.

Creating replica snapshots on the target via the BUI fails. The possibility of creating them via CLI will be removed in an upcoming release.

To make backups of replicated projects or shares without cloning, use the NDMP replica backup feature available as of 2013.1.4.1.

See online help under Shares -> Replication -> How to Perform a Replica Backup
-> About Replica Backups
