Note:
The target system will retain up to 10 replication snapshots (default setting) for each replicated
partition. Once 10 snapshots have been saved, the oldest snapshot is deleted to make room for each
new snapshot that is received. (To change the maximum number of snapshots retained for each
partition, see
Changing the Maximum Number of Snapshots
).
Snapshots List
The
Snapshots List
displays all available snapshots that have been received from configured replication
sources. Snapshots are grouped by VTL partition. To see all available snapshots for a partition, click the plus

next to the partition name.
The

Note:
Click a column heading to sort the rows in the table by that column. Click the column heading
again to reverse the sort order.
Recovering a Partition
Recover a VTL partition if the source system is unavailable and you need to access the partition (for
example, to continue performing backups). When you recover a partition, you select a received snapshot.
The DXi4700 uses the snapshot to recreate the partition on the target system just as it was at the point in
time when the snapshot was saved.
Note:
To recover a partition, the target system must support the library emulation and drive type used
in the original partition. For a list of the available library emulations and drive types on the target system,
