dump .snap question

When using dump, a .snap directory is created in the partition being dumped.
I have searched for the reason this directory is created but haven't found any information on its purpose.

I have monitored the .snap directory during a dump and I have never seen any files appear in during the dump so I was wondering what the purpose of this directory is.

When the dump is complete is it OK to delete the .snap directory or is it used as a marker of some kind?

Thanks

QUOTARESTORE(8) 					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					   QUOTARESTORE(8)

NAME
quotarestore -- restore dumped quota information to a file system volume SYNOPSIS
quotarestore [-d] file-system [dump-file] DESCRIPTION
The quotarestore program restores dumped quota information to a file system. The file dump-file should be in the format produced with quotadump(8). The quotas, expiration times, and configured grace times listed in the dump file are loaded into the named file system. The file-system argument should be a file or directory on the (mounted) file system, not a device special file. If the -d option is given, quota entries on the file system that are not mentioned in the dump file will be deleted. Otherwise, they are left alone. If the dump-file is not specified, standard input is used. SEE ALSO
quota(1), libquota(3), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotadump(8) HISTORY
The quotarestore command appeared in NetBSD 6.0. BSD
February 11, 2012 BSD
