Unmounting a recovery point on a Linux machine

Complete the steps in this procedure to unmount a recovery point on a Linux machine.

  1. Run the Rapid Recovery local_mount utility as root, or as the super user, for example: 
    		sudo local_mount
  2. At the Rapid Recovery mount prompt, enter the following command to list the protected machines. 
    		lm
  3. When prompted, enter the IP address or hostname of your Rapid Recovery Core Core server.
  4. Enter the logon credentials (user name and password) for the Core server.

    A list of the machines that are protected by the Rapid Recovery Core server displays.

  5. Enter the following command to list the recovery points that are available for a specified machine: 
    		lr <line_number_of_machine>
    Note: Note that you can also enter the machine ID number in this command instead of the line item number.

    A list of the base and incremental recovery points for the machine will display and includes. The list includes the line item number, date and timestamp, location of volume, size of recovery point, and an ID number for the volume that includes a sequence number at the end, which identifies the recovery point.

    For example: 7d658e5f-fa08-4600-95f0-5f486bc1b6a4#de0896fd-571a-4cc5-aeed-264d2c3c72f4#f377e145-dd4d-3ac3-5b15-37ce8f4913ba:2

  6. Run the l or list command to obtain a list of mounted Network Block Device (NBD)-devices. If you mount any recovery point, you will get a path to NBD-device after executing the l or list command.
  7. Enter the following command to unmount a recovery point. 
     unmount <path_of_nbd-device>
  8. Run the l or list command to verify that the unmount of the recovery point was successful.

Forcing a snapshot

Forcing a snapshot lets you force a data transfer for the current protected machine. When you force a snapshot, the transfer starts immediately or is added to the queue if other jobs are running.

You can choose from two types of snapshots.

If you select an incremental snapshot and there is no previous recovery point, a base image is captured. Forcing a snapshot does not change the timing for any schedules snapshots.

  • A base image is a snapshot of all data on the selected volumes of the machine.
  • An incremental snapshot captures all data that has been changed since the last snapshot.
  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, navigate to the machine or cluster with the recovery point for which you want to force a snapshot.
  2. On the Summary page, in the Summary pane, click Force Snapshot.

    The Force Snapshot dialog appears.

  3. In the Force Snapshot dialog box, in the check box, click one or more volumes or protection groups.
  4. Click Force Snapshot or Force Base Image, respectively.
  5. If you selected a base image, click to confirm that you want to take a base image.

    A base image could take a substantial amount of time, based on the amount of data in the volumes you want to back up.

    The snapshot you selected is queued and begins as soon as other jobs have completed.

Removing recovery points

You can easily remove recovery points for a particular machine from the repository. When you delete recovery points in Rapid Recovery, you can specify one of the following options.

  • Delete All Recovery Points. Removes all recovery points for the selected protected machine from the Repository.
  • Delete a Range of Recovery Points. Removes all recovery points in a specified range before the current, up to and including the base image, which is all data on the machine as well as all recovery points after the current until the next base image.

NOTE: You cannot recover the recovery points you have deleted. If you need the data stored in the recovery points, considering archiving the data first.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, under the Protected Machines menu, click the name or IP address of the machine for which you want to view and remove recovery points.
    The Summary view for the selected protected machine appears.
  2. Next to the machine name or IP address, click the Recovery Points menu.
    The Recovery Points page for the selected machine appears.
  3. Scroll down to the Recovery Points pane.
    Options appear under the pane title, including Refresh, Delete Range, and Delete All.
  4. To delete all currently stored recovery points, under the Recovery Points pane title, click Delete All, and in the confirmation dialog box, click to confirm deletion.
  5. To delete a set of recovery points in a specific data range, do the following:
    1. Under the Recovery Points pane title, click Delete Range.
      The Delete Recovery Points Within Range dialog box appears.
    2. In the Delete Recovery Points Within Range dialog box, in the From field, select the date and time from which you want to start deleting recovery points.
    3. In the To field, select the date and time defining the last recovery point you want to delete.
    4. Click Delete.
    5. In the confirmation dialog box, click to confirm deletion.

Deleting an orphaned recovery point chain

An orphaned recovery point is an incremental snapshot that is not associated with a base image. Subsequent snapshots continue to build onto this recovery point; however, without the base image, the resulting recovery points are incomplete and are unlikely to contain the data necessary to complete a recovery. These recovery points are considered to be part of the orphaned recovery point chain. If this situation occurs, the best solution is to delete the chain and create a new base image.

For more information about forcing a base image, see Forcing a snapshot.

  1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, navigate to the protected machine for which you want to delete the orphaned recovery point chain.
  2. From the menu at the top of the page, click Recovery Points.
  3. In the Recovery Points pane, expand the orphaned recovery point.

    This recovery point is labeled in the Type column as “Incremental, Orphaned.”

  4. Next to Actions, click Delete.

    The Delete Recovery Points window appears.

  5. In the Delete Recovery Points window, click Yes.

    Caution: Deleting this recovery point deletes the entire chain of recovery points, including any incremental recovery points that occur before or after it, until the next base image. This operation cannot be undone.

    The orphaned recovery point chain is deleted.
