Locating Replays on a Storage Center

Recover any Replay stored on a Storage Center with the Data Instant Replay feature of Storage Center.

NOTE: Use Replays Manager to expire Replays. Do not use Storage Center to perform that action.

Locate a Replay on a Storage Center

Storage Center System Manager displays Replays for a volume in the Replays tab of a volume display.

1. On the Storage Center System Manager navigation tree, navigate to a volume to see associated

Replays.

2. Click the Replays tab for the volume. All Replays for the volume are displayed.

A Replay created by an external application, such as Replay Manager, is marked by this icon:

The name of a Replay created by Replay Manager is the user-defined name specified within Replay

Manager for the backup set. For information on using the Storage Center System Manager, see the

Storage Center System Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Locate Replay View Volumes on a Storage Center

Storage Center System Manager displays view volumes created from Replay Manager Replays.

1. On the Storage Center System Manager navigation tree, navigate to the volume associated with view

volumes.

2. Locate the view volumes:

• If Replay Manager connects to Storage Center with an Administrator account, view volumes will

be located in a subfolder of the folder that contains the original volume. The subfolder will be

named VSS (original_volume_name) and the view volumes will be named VSS

(backup_set_name).

• If Replay Manager connects to Storage Center with a Volume Manager user, the view volumes

will be located in the same folder that contains the original volume. The view volumes will be

named VSS (backup_set_name).

Exposed restore point volumes for VMware will be named using the name entered for the exposed

datastore or RDM name.
