Recover Data from a Snapshot to an iSCSI-Attached Device

Users can employ any back-up application to back up data from their network-attached
device to a share or from their iSCSI-attached device to a LUN on the ReadyDATA 5200, and
simply access the backed-up data on the share or LUN.
Users who do not back up their data can still be protected from data loss if you provide them
access to data that is available in a snapshot on the ReadyDATA 5200. Access to snapshots
differs according to the type of attached device that a user employs.
Recover Data from a Snapshot to a Network-Attached
Device
For snapshots to be accessible to users from their network-attached device, you need to
select the Allow snapshot access check box in the Protection section of the Properties
pane of a share. For more information, see
page 73.
After you make snapshots available, users with a network-attached device have access to
the snapshots that reside on a share on the ReadyDATA 5200 according to their access
rights.
For those users with read/write access to the share, recovering data is a simple process:
They click the snapshot subfolder in a share, and then have access to all snapshots that are
available on that share. Users can explore the data that is available in a snapshot and
recover any desired file or folder.
For information about how to access a share, see
Device on page 111.
Recover Data from a Snapshot to an iSCSI-Attached Device
Strictly speaking, users who access the ReadyDATA 5200 through an iSCSI-attached device
do not have access to snapshots. However, you can clone a snapshot to become a new
independent LUN, and then add that LUN to the group to which the users have access.
Cloning a snapshot to become a LUN is an instantaneous process that does not consume
additional storage space, unless more data is written to the clone. Because no additional
storage space is consumed, cloning snapshots is very efficient.
For those users with read/write access to the LUNs in the LUN group, recovering data is a
simple process: They click the new LUN, explore the data that is available in the LUN, and
recover any desired file or folder.
