Take a Snapshot
-
On the environment's details page (Go to the Environments list and then click the environment's name to open the details page), click Take Snapshot.
The Take Snapshot form appears on the page.
-
Complete the fields:
Field
Description
Publish to the default environment blueprint
Select this option if you want to create a snapshot of the environment in the specified existing blueprint for the environment.
Publish to a new blueprint
Select this option if you want to publish the snapshot to a new blueprint.
If you select this option, the New blueprint name and Project fields appear lower down in the form.
Snapshot name
A name is suggested. Change it if you prefer.
Snapshot description
Optionally describe the snapshot to help you identify it for future usage.
New Blueprint name
This field appears if you selected Publish to a new blueprint above.
Enter a name for the new blueprint in which the snapshot will be created.
Set as default
Select this if you want to mark the snapshot you are taking as the default snapshot in the blueprint.
The default snapshot is the snapshot that is used whenever a new environment is created from the blueprint, such as when you create a class (Enterprise only) or an end user invitation (Enterprise only).
This is mandatory for the first snapshot of the environment.
Project
This field appears if you selected Publish to a new blueprint above.
Choose one of the following:
Create in the same project. This option creates a new blueprint in the same project as the default environment blueprint.
Create in a different project. If you choose this option, select the project in which you want to create the new blueprint from the dropdown.
Regions
Select any regions to which you want to copy the snapshot. Copying will be done after the snapshot is taken and you will be notified by email when it is completed.
Copying is supported from US East to Asia Pacific and Europe only.
If the blueprint already exists on other regions and you check Set as default, then the relevant regions are selected here and you cannot deselect them. This ensures that all existing regional copies of the blueprint are updated with the current default snapshot.
Click Take Snapshot.
The process takes some time. While the snapshot is being created, progress is displayed by a bar at the top of the environment's details page:
