Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

Retrieve a remote snapshot to the same PowerStore cluster

1. Click Protection > Remote Backup and select the Resources tab.
   The Resources tab displays all resources (volumes and volume groups) that have associated remote snapshots.
2. In the Resources list, click the checkbox next to the resource and select Manage Snapshots to view all the backups created for that resource.
3. In the Manage Snapshots panel, select the snapshot that you want to retrieve and click Retrieve.
4. In the confirmation message, click Retrieve.
   A Retrieve session is created for the snapshot and added to the Retrieve Sessions table. If the source resource exists on the cluster, a local snapshot is created under the source resource, and the retrieved backup is copied to it. The retrieval can be of a full copy or include only of the differences between the backup and the resource (incremental copy), depending on the last backup. If the source resource no longer exists on the cluster, 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.

   You can monitor the progress of the retrieve session in Protection > Remote Backup > Retrieve Sessions.
