What is the ARP Snapshot option "arw.snap.new.extns.interval.hours"
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.13.1
- Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) Snapshot
Answer
This option specifies the interval (in hours) between the Anti-ransomware generated snapshot copies for the new extension based detection. A new Anti-ransomware snapshot copy will be created when a new file extension is observed, and the previous snapshot created upon observing a new file extension is older than this specified interval. On a workload that frequently creates new file extensions, this interval helps in controlling the frequency of the snapshot copies created by Anti-ransomware. There is another option arw.snap.create.interval.hours
which specifies the interval between the Anti-ransomware generated snapshot copies for the data entropy based detection. The supported values for the -option-value parameter include integers from 24 to 8760. The default value of this option is 48.
