For information about how to attach SQL Server databases, see the Microsoft SQL Server documentation.
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 Replay Manager to expire Replays. Do not use Storage Center to perform that action for the volumes managed
by Replay Manager.
Locate a Replay on a Storage Center
Storage Manager displays Replays for a volume in the Snapshots tab of a volume display.
1. On the Storage Manager navigation tree, navigate to a volume to see associated Replays.
2. Click the Snapshots 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 user-defined name specified within Replay Manager for the backup set is listed in the Description field. For information
on using the Dell Storage Manager, see the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Locate Replay View Volumes on a Storage Center
Dell Storage Manager displays view volumes created from Replay Manager Replays.
1. On the Dell Storage 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 are located in a subfolder
of the folder that contains the original volume. The subfolder is named VSS (original_volume_name) and the view
volumes are named VSS (backup_set_name).
● If Replay Manager connects to Storage Center with a Volume Manager user, the view volumes are located in the same
folder that contains the original volume. The view volumes are named VSS (backup_set_name).
Exposed restore point volumes for VMware are named using the name entered for the exposed datastore or RDM name.
