3. In the next window, select one FlashCopy preset. The GUI provides the following presets 
to simplify common FlashCopy operations, as shown in Figure 11-25 on page 474. For 
more information about the presets, see 11.2.1, “FlashCopy presets” on page 466:
– Snapshot: Creates a point-in-time snapshot copy of the source volume.
– Clone: Creates a point-in-time replica of the source volume.
– Backup: Creates an incremental FlashCopy mapping that can be used to recover data 
or objects if the system experiences data loss. These backups can be copied multiple 
times from source and target volumes. 
Note: If you want to create a simple Snapshot of a volume, you likely want the target 
volume to be defined as thin-provisioned to save space on your system. If you use an 
existing target, ensure that it is thin-provisioned first. Using the Snapshot preset does 
not make the system check whether the target volume is thin-provisioned.
