Saving a FlashCopy image
of a fileset and accessing it
FlashCopy® images
are saved on a per-fileset basis.
Steps
Using the GUI, select Manage
Copies in the My Work pane, and then select Create FlashCopy Images.
Click Next.
Under Select Filesets, select the filesets for which you
want a FlashCopy image.
Click Next.
Under Set Properties, accept the defaults and then click Next.
Verify your settings, then click Finish.
To list, and then access, the FlashCopy images including the newly
created image, select Manage Copies and then FlashCopy Images. The default FlashCopy image
name (Image-1) is included in the list.
Change ownership and permissions on the fileset's .flashcopy directory
to navigate it. The directory contains an entry for each FlashCopy image
name.
Change the directory representing the image name to view the files
as their images were created.
Note: Attempting to write to the
file causes an error stating that this area is read only. This applies to
the .flashcopy directory and those directories and files below the .flashcopy
directory.
