As the primary repository technology for Rapid Recovery, the DVM repository contains snapshot data (in the form of recovery points) from the machines protected on a specific Rapid Recovery Core. You can open an existing repository from one Core (for example, Core A) on a second Core (Core B).
Complete the following procedure to open an existing repository.
1. |
2. |
The Repositories page appears.
The DVM Repositories pane also appears.
3. |
4. |
In the Open Existing DVM Repository dialog box, enter the following information for the repository you want to open, and then click Open. |
The path for the repository (for example, D:\work\machine for a local path, or \\10.10.99.155\repositories by IP address, or \\servername\sharename for a network path). | |
If the repository has a network path, enter the user name for logging in to the network share. | |
If the repository has a network path, enter the password for logging in to the network share. |
For more information about deduplication, see Understanding deduplication cache and storage locations.
You can choose to increase your DVM duplication cache before it is full, which ensures continued optimal deduplication of your data in that repository. For more information, see Configuring DVM deduplication cache settings.
The following actions are superseded or canceled when the Repository Optimization Job is occurring.

For steps on optimizing an existing DVM repository, see Optimizing a DVM repository.
You can interrupt the Optimize Repository job for a limited time if required. For more information, see Interrupting or Resuming the Repository Optimization Job.
You must have a DVM repostiory in your Core to perform this procedure.
NOTE: Quest recommends performing the Optimize Repository job only after increasing your deduplication cache size. This action lets you reclaim repository space and more effectively use the DVM deduplication cache. |

A warning prompt appears asking you to confirm the optimization.
The optimization job takes precedence over most other jobs. If necessary, you can interrupt an optimization job in progress. For more information on interrupting or resuming this job, see Interrupting or Resuming the Repository Optimization Job.
When you initiate the Optimize Repository Job, the selected DVM repository is deduplicated. This deduplication optimization is a processor-intensive job intended to save space in the repository. For more information, see About the Repository Optimization Job.
