Snapshots and recovery points

This section describes how to use and manage the snapshots and recovery points generated by Rapid Recovery. It includes information about mounting, viewing, and forcing, as well as migrating and deleting recovery points.

Topics include:

Managing snapshots and recovery points

A recovery point is a collection of snapshots taken of individual disk volumes and stored in the repository. Snapshots capture and store the state of a disk volume at a given point in time while the applications that generate the data are still in use. In Rapid Recovery, you can force a snapshot, temporarily pause snapshots, and view lists of current recovery points in the repository as well as delete them if needed. Recovery points are used to restore protected machines or to mount to a local file system.

The snapshots that are captured by Rapid Recovery are done so at the block level and are application aware. This means that all open transactions and rolling transaction logs are completed and caches are flushed to disk before creating the snapshot.

Rapid Recovery uses a low-level volume filter driver, which attaches to the mounted volumes and then tracks all block-level changes for the next impending snapshot. Microsoft Volume Shadow Services (VSS) is used to facilitate application crash consistent snapshots.

Viewing the recovery points page of a protected machine

Complete the steps in the following procedure to view the full list of recovery points for a protected machine. For more information on viewing specific recovery points, see Viewing recovery points for a machine.

NOTE: If you are protecting data from a DAG or CCR server cluster, the associated recovery points do not appear at the cluster level. They are only visible at the node or machine level.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, navigate to the protected machine for which you want to view recovery points.
  2. From the menu at the top of the page, click Recovery Points.

    The Recovery Points page appears, showing a Recovery Points Summary pane and a Recovery Points pane.

    You can view summary information about the recovery points for the machine as described in the following table.

    Table 76: Recovery point summary information
    Info Description
    Total recovery points Lists the total number of recovery points saved to the repository for this machine.
    Total protected data Indicates the amount of storage space used in the repository for these recovery points.
    Repository Lists the name of the repository in which these recovery points are stored.
    Repository status Graphically displays the amount of space consumed by the recovery points. Shows percentage of the repository used, the amount of space, and the total space of the repository. Click on the graph to see the amount of space remaining.

    You can view information about the recovery points for the machine as described in the following table.

    Table 77: Recovery point information
    Info Description
    Icon Graphic depiction of either a recovery point [Recovery Point or, if expanded, a volume [Volume] within the recovery point. Recovery points show an arrow [Expand arrow] indicating that detail can be expanded (or, if expanded, an arrow [Contract arrow] showing that the menu can be contracted).
    Encrypted Indicates if the recovery point is encrypted.
    Status Indicates current status of the recovery point.
    Contents and More Information

    Lists the volumes included in the recovery point. For Exchange servers, click [Information] to display information about the server.
    Hover over the [More Info] More Information icon to see the space usage and the file system in the recovery point or volume displayed.

    Type Defines a recovery point as either a base image or an incremental (differential) snapshot.
    Creation Date Displays the date when the recovery point was created.
    Size Displays the amount of space that the recovery point consumes in the repository.
    [Settings] The [More] drop-down menu lets you perform certain functions for the selected recovery point.
     
  3. Optionally, expand a recovery point to view the protected volumes.

Understanding recovery point status indicators

Once a recovery point is captured for a protected SQL or Exchange server, the application displays a corresponding color status indicator in the Recovery Points grid. This grid appears in the Recovery Points pane when viewing recovery points for a specific machine. The color that displays is based on the check settings for the protected machine and the success or failure of those checks, as described in the following tables.

NOTE: For more information on viewing recovery points, see Viewing the recovery points page of a protected machine.

Recovery status point colors for Exchange databases

The following table lists the status indicators that display for Exchange databases.

Table 78: Exchange database status indicators
Status Color Description
White Indicates that an Exchange database is not detected within the recovery point, volume, or volume group.
Yellow Indicates that the Exchange database mountability checks have not yet been run.
Red Indicates that either the mountability or checksum checks failed on at least one database.
Green Indicates that the recovery point contains one or more database, and that mountability checks are enabled, and that mountability check passed or that the checksum check passed.

Recovery status point colors for SQL databases

The following table lists the status indicators that display for SQL databases.

Table 79: SQL database status indicators
Status Color Description
White Indicates that a SQL database is not detected within the recovery point, volume, or volume group.
Yellow SQL database was offline, indicating that attachability checks were not possible and have not been performed.
Red Indicates that the attachability check failed, or SQL database is offline.
Green Indicates that the attachability check passed.

NOTE: Recovery points that do not have an Exchange or SQL database associated with it appear with a white status indicator. In situations where both an Exchange and SQL database exists for the recovery point, the most severe status indicator displays for the recovery point.
