Exposing and unexposing a snapshot
You can view a read-only copy of a snapshot of an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database,
or user-defined application by exposing the snapshot on your HP All-in-One Storage System. Exposing
a snapshot allows you to view the contents of a snapshot and selectively revert files.
NOTE:
A snapshot of a shared folder cannot be exposed using ASM. Use the Windows Previous Versions client
to view snapshots of shared folders from a client computer. Snapshots of a shared folder are stored on the
same logical disk as the shared folder, in a protected system folder.
