New_Snapshots Nonew_Snapshots Allows you to specify whether to create new snapshot (.snp) files as part of a Restore Only_Root operation. The default is the Nonew_Snapshots qualifier, which causes the command to initialize the existing .snp files. If you specify the New_Snapshots qualifier, the command creates and initializes new .snp files. When you specify the New_ Snapshots qualifier, you should either delete the existing .snp files before the restore operation or purge the .snp files afterwards.
