PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Cyber Recovery User Guide

Managing sandboxes

Create a system sandbox to perform data analysis or validation operations.

1. From the Main Menu, click Recovery.
2. On the Recovery content pane, click COPIES and select a PIT copy from the list.
3. Click Sandbox.
4. In the Sandbox dialog box:
   1. Select an application host that is configured in the Cyber Recovery vault.
   2. Enter a unique sandbox name.
      NOTE The cr prefix is appended to the custom sandbox name. For example, if you enter MySandbox, the sandbox name displays as cr-MySandbox.
   3. Indicate if you want to mount the file system. Enter where you want to mount the data if you do not want to use the default.
      NOTE Cyber Recovery supports mount operations for UNIX operating systems only. The host is available by using SSH.
   4. Click Apply.
   This step starts a job that you can view on the Jobs page.
5. From the Recovery content pane, click SANDBOXES:
   1. View the list of sandboxes.
      The row does not show child sandboxes that are associated with a PowerProtect Data Manager sandbox. The Details window provides information about child copies, as described in the following step.
   2. To view details about a sandbox, click the sandbox's row.
      The Details window displays the information.
   3. To remove a sandbox, select a sandbox and then click Delete.
      When you delete a PowerProtect Data Manager sandbox that has associated child sandboxes, those child sandboxes are also deleted.
