You can generate the transaction ids manually using 'hammer synctid',
or you can extract them from a file using 'undo -i <filename>'. You
get a snapshot every 30-60 seconds even if you don't lift a finger,
but unless you record the transaction ids somewhere you'd have to
do some sleuthing (e.g. with undo -i) to get them.
Typically what you would do is have a cron job create a convenient
snapshot softlink once an hour, once a day, whatever, like this:
mkdir /mnt/snapshots
hammer snapshot /mnt/snapshots
The first argument to "hammer snapshot" takes a template similar to
strftime(3), so you can generate snapshots with:
hammer snapshot /mnt/snaphots/SNAP-%Y-%M-%H
Which would generate a symlink
/mnt/snapshots/SNAP-2008-08-25
If /mnt/snapshots itself is not on a hammer filesystem you should as
well specify the hammer filesystem to snapshot:
hammer snapshot /mnt/snaphots/SNAP-%Y-%M-%H /hammer
