CreateSnapshot Method
Creates a new snapshot of a blob.
Syntax
public String createSnapshot(String blob);
Remarks
This method creates a new snapshot of the specified Blob in the container currently selected by Container, and returns the opaque DateTime value used to identify the newly-created snapshot.
If the SendMetadataOnSnapshot configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata collection will be sent in the request and applied to newly-created snapshot. Otherwise, the server will copy the metadata items from Blob to the snapshot.
If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using LeaseId; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.
