Mounting Snapshots with IntelliSnap for Amazon

You can mount any available snapshot to access the data in the snapshot.

Before You Begin

When mounting snapshots, note the following:

• You can mount snapshots from different jobs.

• The snapshots selected for mounting should belong to the same agent.

• Snapshots should be mounted on a MediaAgent with the same operating system as the snapshot volumes. For example, Windows volumes should be mounted on a Windows MediaAgent, and Linux volumes should be mounted on a Linux MediaAgent.

• There are no limits on the number of snapshots to be mounted. However, increasing the number of snapshots that are selected also increases the time for mounting the snapshots.

• For Virtual Server Agent (VSA), mount snapshots from the backup set or subclient level. Mounting snapshots from the storage policy is not supported.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers > virtualization_client > Virtual Server > backup_set.

2. Right-click the subclient and click List Snapshots.

3. To select multiple snapshots, hold the <Shift> key and select the snapshots to be mounted.

4. Right-click the snapshot to mount and click Mount.

5. Click Yes.

6. In the Mount Path dialog box, click ... for the Availability Zone field to browse and select the destination zone.

7. To avoid saving any changes made to the mounted snapshot after the snapshot is unmounted, select Protect Snapshot during mount.

8. Click OK.
