You can use the following methods to access your archived data that has been archived using the Archiver Solution.
Accessing Your Archived Data from 7-mode NetApp and Celerra File Servers
-
Log on to a client computer that has UNC access to the stubs on the file server, or has a mapped network drive to the share.
Warning: On 7-mode NetApp file servers, do not perform recall operations on the primary client and secondary client computers that you specified in the CommCell Console (File System Properties > Network Share Properties tab). In that situation, only the stub metadata is opened and the actual file is not recalled.
-
Using Windows Explorer, go to the folder that contains the stubs.
-
Double-click a stub. It may take a few minutes for the recovered file to appear after double-clicking its stub.
Accessing Your Archived Data from Network Shares
You can use one of the following methods to recover data that was archived using the Archiver Solution.
Method 1: Access your archived data using the File Share Archiver Client or Driver for File Archiver
-
Log on to a client computer where File Share Archiver Client or the Driver for File Archiver is installed.
-
Make sure that the client computer has UNC access to the stubs on the file server, or has a mapped network drive to the share.
-
Using Windows Explorer, go to the folder that contains the stubs.
-
Double-click a stub. It may take a few minutes for the recovered file to appear after double-clicking its stub.
Note: You cannot recall a stub if the File Share Archiver Client or the Driver for File Archiver is installed on a computer pointing to a different CommServe computer than the one that was initially used to create the stubs.
Method 2: Access your archived data using the Explorer Plug-In
You can recall archived data through the Explorer Plug-In. This method has the advantage of performing the recall without engaging the driver.
-
On your recall computer, enable the Explorer Plug-In.
-
In Windows Explorer, enter the UNC path where your archived data resides.
-
Locate the data to recall, then:
-
Recall one file by right-clicking the file, then clicking Edge > Recall Data.
-
Recall a folder and all the data it contains (but not its sub-folders) by right-clicking the folder, then clicking Edge > Recall Data.
-
Recall a folder and all the data it contains, including all its sub-folders and their contents, by right-clicking the folder, then clicking Edge > Recall Data Recursively.
