Retrieve a remote snapshot to a different cluster

About this task

When you retrieve a remote snapshot to a PowerStore cluster other than the cluster that has the source resource, a new volume or volume group is created on the PowerStore cluster, as well as a local snapshot to which the remote snapshot is copied.

Steps

  1. Click Protection > Remote Backup and select the Resources tab.
  2. Click Discover Remote Snapshots.
  3. In the Discover Remote Snapshots panel, set the following:
    • PowerProtect DD Remote System—Select the PowerProtect DD from which you want to retrieve the backup.
    • PowerStore Global ID—Specify the global unique identifier for the PowerStore cluster from which the backup was initiated. You can see the global ID of the cluster under Settings > Cluster > Properties.
    • From—Specify the starting date and time to search for remote snapshots.
    • To—Specify the ending date and time to search for remote snapshots.
  4. Click Next.
  5. From the list of discovered snapshot, select the snapshot that you want to retrieve, and click Next.
    NOTE:You can only select snapshots that were created by a PowerStore cluster.
  6. Review the information summary and click Retrieve.

Results

PowerStore creates a retrieve session that can be viewed on the Retrieve sessions tab. When the session is complete, the retrieved snapshot and a new volume are created on the local cluster.
