PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Quick recovery remote view

Use the remote view to work with replicated copies on the destination system after the source is no longer available. For example, to restore critical assets before you are able to restore the source system.

On the destination system, log in as a user with the Administrator role. The remote server contains an additional Remote Systems icon in the banner.

When you click Remote Systems, PowerProtect Data Manager presents a drop-down that contains the names of the local system and any connected systems. Each entry has the identifying suffix (Local) or (Remote).

Select the source system from which you have replicated backups. PowerProtect Data Manager opens the remote view and presents a subset of the regular UI navigation tools:

• Restore
  • Assets— Shows replicated copies.
  • Running Sessions— Allows you to manage and monitor Instant Access sessions.
• Alerts— Shows alert information in a table, including audit logs.
• Jobs— Shows the status of any running restore jobs.

Each tool has the same function as for the local system. However, since the remote view is intended only for restore operations, the scope is limited to the replicated copies from the selected source system. While in remote view, a banner identifies the selected system.

Use Restore > Assets to locate copies. The instructions for restoring each type of asset provide more information about restore operations.

When the recovery is complete, click Remote Systems and select the name of the local system to exit remote view.
