Working with Cluster Recovery Points
A recovery point, also referred to as a snapshot, is a point-in-time copy of the folders
and files for the shared volumes in a cluster, which are stored in the repository.
Recovery points are used to recover protected machines or to mount to a local file
system. In AppAssure 5, you can view the lists of recovery points in the repository.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to review recovery points.
For information about viewing recovery points for individual machines in a cluster,
see “Viewing Recovery Points” on page 133.
To work with cluster recovery points
1. Do one of the following:
 In the Core Console, click the Machines tab, and then select the cluster for which
you wish to view recovery points.
 Or, in the left navigation area, under Clusters, select the cluster for which you wish
to view recovery points.
2. Click the Recovery Points tab.
3. To view detailed information about a specific recovery point, click the right angle
bracket > symbol next to a recovery point in the list to expand the view.
4. For information about the operations you can perform on the recovery points,
see “Viewing a Specific Recovery Point” on page 134
5. Select a recovery point to mount.
For information about how to mount a recovery point, see “Mounting a Recovery
Point for a Windows Machine” on page 136.
6. To delete recovery points, see “Removing Recovery Points” on page 139.
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.
