# Snapshot SLAs

Storware Backup and Recovery can periodically create snapshots and keep several of them for every Storage instance as additional recovery points. This section describes the policies that enable the configuration of this mechanism.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**\
Snapshot management for on-demand or scheduled operations is not available until the storage instance has a snapshot management policy assigned to it
