Storage : Continuous Data Protection (CDP) : CDP Control Window
This takes us to the CDP control window. There is an option to either select an entire
consistency group / journal file or individual volumes. By default, the ‘Start Time’ is the
time of creation of the container and the ‘End Time’ is the current time. These can be
modified as per the requirement to restore data using CDP.
Note that the above list of CGs / Volumes pertains only to the currently selected
container. If you want to perform a CDP on a different CG / Volume, you need to go
back and select the corresponding container.
Storage : Continuous Data Protection (CDP) : Example of a selected CDP window
There are two interfaces available in ManageTrends to perform the CDP: The Flashback
window and the Retrospect window. ManageTrends automatically selects the interface
depending on whether a CG/journal or volume is chosen and whether data is available in
the selected time zone. For example, if the user chooses a journal file and data is not
available in the selected time zone but snapshots are present, then it will take the user to
Retrospect.
