NAME

       mfsmakesnapshot - make lazy copies

SYNOPSIS

       mfsmakesnapshot [-o] [-f] SOURCE... DESTINATION

DESCRIPTION

       mfsmakesnapshot makes a "real" snapshot (lazy copy, like in case of mfsappendchunks) of
       some object(s) or subtree (similarly to cp -r command). It’s atomic with respect to each
       SOURCE argument separately. If DESTINATION points to already existing file, error will be
       reported unless -f (force) or it’s alias -o (overwrite) option is given.

           Note
           if SOURCE is a directory, it’s copied as a whole; but if it’s followed by trailing
           slash, only directory content is copied.
