Before the storage can be used, additional software components will be initialized and a storage pool will be created. You will be prompted to start the vSnap initialization process upon first login to the user interface. To enable encryption of backup data on the on-board storage, select Initialize with encryption enabled. To initialize the on-board storage without encryption enabled, select Initialize.
