Taking a snapshot allows you to capture the System Status details to a file. You can then use System Status to view the saved snapshot.

There are two types of snapshot file:

• Simple Snapshot
  This type of snapshot captures the status details shown by System Status. System Status gives this type of snapshot an SSH file extension.
• Continuous Log
  This type of snapshot captures the system's status details over a period of time. System Status gives this type of snapshot has an SLO file extension.

Either type of snapshot can also include a copy of the system configuration. You can use IP Office Manager to open the snapshot file to view that configuration.
