Renaming a Snapshot (BUI)
Use the following procedure to rename an existing manual snapshot. An automatic snapshot, which has .auto, .rr, or .ndmp in its name, cannot be renamed.
If a share snapshot that is part of a larger project snapshot is renamed, it will no longer be considered part of the same snapshot, and if any snapshot is renamed to have the same name as a snapshot in the parent project, it will be treated as part of the project snapshot.
