PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 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. A message indicates that the job has started and provides a link to the appropriate Jobs page with the job details.
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 pane 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 pane displays the information.

      NOTE: If you ran an Analyze operation, there is a link for the CyberSense host.
   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.
