Rewind and Recover Data
1. The mirror is paused.
2. A timestamp associated with previous disk write is selected and the disk is rewound to that
time.
3. The user is asked to verify the rewound dataand indicate its condition (good or bad).
4. The user then has the option to use the current data (go to Step 5) or continue rewinding by
selecting another timestamp (go to Step 2).
5. The user has the choice of recovering the data manually and then resuming the mirror (erasing
the rewound data) or switching the mirror and any protected applications to the target system
and using the rewound data as the new production data.
The user is led through the steps above with a series of wizard dialogs. The dialogs are explained
below:
1. Confirm that you wish to rewind the data. Click Continue.
2. The mirror is being paused in preparation for the rewind. Click Next.
3. Select or type in a timestamp that you wish to rewind to. Bookmarked log entries as well as a
random sampling of other log entries appear in the dropdown list. The progress bar at the
bottom of the dialog displays which data is good (green), bad (red) or unknown (yellow). So, at
the beginning of the rewind process, the progress bar is all yellow. Once the data has been
rewound and you have indicated that the data is good or bad, the progress bar is updated with
green and red sections accordingly.
