Data on the repository server
The images that are stored on the repository server may be in various states. There is
live data, snapshot data, and TimeData historical data. There may be times when you
want to view or retrieve data from the repository server without recovering an entire
server or all of the data you have protected.
●
Live data—The live data can be easily be viewed and retrieved at any time on the
repository server using standard file system tools like Windows Explorer. Be
careful not to modify any of the data on the repository server, so that if the data is
needed for a recovery, it will be the same as what is on the source.
●
Snapshot and TimeData historical data—Because the snapshot data and
TimeData historical data is not in client accessible format, you need to use Storage
Mirroring Replicate to
mount a snapshot or a TimeData point in time so that it can
be accessed. Once mounted, you can retrieve files or folders as needed using
standard file system tools like Windows Explorer.
●
Exchange data—If you have installed Ontrack PowerControls, you can open a
Microsoft Exchange storage file (.edb file) for
viewing or retrieving individual
messages or mailboxes . Ontrack PowerControls can be used on the live data, a
snapshot, or TimeData historical data.
