IIRC what you want is mentioned in the volume snapshot manual. Wished I 
could recall it exactly, but it's only 20-30 pages so finding it 
shouldn't be too difficult. You will have to figure out how to automate 
the command line though. Again, IIRC it's done at the time of creation 
so you'll have to pass the date to the script, but with all the script 
language options you have choices.
