Windows End Users: Accessing a Snapshot for a Share

After a snapshot is created for a volume, a file folder appears in the end user's file directory for each
share to which the end user has access. Snapshots are saved with the name of the share followed by
an underscore and then the term "snap". Each file folder contains a subfolder for each snapshot
interval (for example, hourly, daily, etc.).
To access a snapshot for a share:
1. There are a variety of ways to access the NSS:
• From the My Computer window, type \\<hostname> or IP address in the Address bar.
(Where the <hostname> refers to your NSS hostname. For example, \\NAS).
• Browse for the NSS from the My Network Places window.
• Map the NSS to a network drive.
The Log In window appears.
2. Enter your NSS user name and password.
3. Click OK.
The Windows Explorer window opens with a directory listing of the folders for the shares
available on the user's home directory
4. Snapshots are read-only. To work with a snapshot, locate it, take a copy of it, and then place the
copy in a working directory.
