Answer

  • No, By default, Cloud sync filter out by default directories like .copy-offload, .snapshot, ~snapshot when scanning the source and it will not be copied to destination
  • We have option to include cloud sync to scan contents under snapshot folder, however copying files to snapshot folder in target will fail as snapshot will be read only
  • We can create share on .snapshot path of volume to copy all snapshot contents of the volume to that folder on target using Cloud sync.

::>cifs share create -vserver <> -share-name <sharename> -path /volume/.snapshot
