Snapshot Statuses

An EVS snapshot has several statuses. Table 1 lists the EVS snapshot statuses, the meaning of each status, and the operations a snapshot in each status allows.

**Table 1** Snapshot status details

Rolling back	The snapshot is being used to roll back data. NOTE: When you roll back data from a snapshot, you can only roll back data to the source EVS disk. Rollback to a specific disk is not supported. A snapshot can only be used for rollback when its source disk is in the Available or Rollback failed state.	None
Backing up	This status only shows up for temporary snapshots. When you create a backup for an EVS disk, a temporary snapshot is automatically created. This status indicates that a temporary snapshot is being created during the backup creation. NOTE: Temporary snapshots are created through the CBR service.
