Add Name of Volume to Snapshot

Post by r.eskhita »

Hi,
I find that adding variables like Volume ID or Datum to Tag of Snapshot is not enough, it must be shown in the SNapshot Name or Description, now it is show AutomatiCloud Snapshot
can anyone help me how to make the automatic snapshot inclde the volume name and date in the name of snapshot or even in the description and not in the tag?

The name of a snapshot is just a tag called "Name". You can set the "Name" tag like any other tag and use the macros expansion.
Example: NAME=$VOLID

thsnks for your reply, I mean the snapshot Name includes specific Description (User defined) or even the Job Name to be included in the description or even in the name.
I make daily Snapshot for 10 Servers, I need the snapshot to include unique Name for each one.

have u idea?

please see my last post. If you enter

"NAME=$VOLID"

in the tag field, you will have the unique volume ID in the name tag.

Version 3.2.620 introduced a new macro variable:

$VOLNAME = Name of the Volume
