If the intent is to use the snapshots as a source to backup the volume<br>
data, leaving the actual volume attached and IO running but still<br>
getting a "static" view of the code, then you would need to create a<br>
volume from the chosen snapshot, mount that volume somewhere that is<br>
accessible to your backup software, perform the copy of the data, then<br>
delete the volume when complete.<br>
<br>
I haven't used Acronis myself, but the issue for some backup software<br>
could be that the volume it is backing up from is going to be different<br>
every time. Though you could make sure it is mounted at the same place<br>
so the backup software at least *thinks* it's backing up the same thing.<br>
<br>
Then restoring the data will likely require some manual intervention,<br>
but that's pretty much always the case when something goes wrong. I<br>
would just recommend you test the full disaster recovery scenario to<br>
make sure you have that figured out and working right before you<br>
actually need it.<br>
