Checkpoint: Creating snapshot

I could not create the database revision under File > Database Revision Control on SmartDashboard.

CSM-2014-07-01-23-50-35

However I could create a snapshot in the command line of the Checkpoint firewall.

CP-FW1> add snapshot standard_backup desc "Created on 2nd of July"
Taking snapshot. You can continue working normally.
You can use the command 'show snapshots' to monitor creation progress.
CP-FW1> show snapshots
Restore points:
---------------
Standard_image

Restore point now under creation:
---------------------------------
standard_backup (3%)

Creation of an additional restore point will need 3.200G
Amount of space available for restore points is 26.28G
