= Implementing CSI snapshot timeout

[role="_abstract"]
Configure the `CSISnapshotTimeout` parameter in the `Backup` custom resource (CR) to define how long to wait for a CSI snapshot to become ready. Adjusting this timeout prevents errors when using the CSI plugin to take snapshots of large storage volumes that require more time. The default value is `10m`.

[NOTE]
====
Typically, the default value for `CSISnapshotTimeout` does not require adjustment, because the default setting can accommodate large storage volumes.
