When we run the snapshooter script, it creates a snapshot folder e.g. 
snapshot.20090418064010 and this snapshot folder contains physical index files 
which take space on the file system (as shown below). Are we missing anything 
here?

the snapshooter does not really copy any files. They ar just hardlinks
(does not consume disk space) so even a full copy is not very
expensive
