HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 243)

The following example lists snapshots created on an hourly schedule for snap tree /ibfs1/users.
Using ISO 8601 naming ensures that the snapshot directories are listed in order according to the
time they were taken.
[root@9000n1 ~]# # cd /ibfs1/users/.snapshot/
[root@9000n1 .snapshot]# ls
2011-06-01T110000_hourly 2011-06-01T190000_hourly 2011-06-02T030000_hourly
2011-06-01T120000_hourly 2011-06-01T200000_hourly 2011-06-02T040000_hourly
2011-06-01T130000_hourly 2011-06-01T210000_hourly 2011-06-02T050000_hourly
2011-06-01T140000_hourly 2011-06-01T220000_hourly 2011-06-02T060000_hourly
2011-06-01T150000_hourly 2011-06-01T230000_hourly 2011-06-02T070000_hourly
2011-06-01T160000_hourly 2011-06-02T000000_hourly 2011-06-02T080000_hourly
2011-06-01T170000_hourly 2011-06-02T010000_hourly 2011-06-02T090000_hourly
2011-06-01T180000_hourly 2011-06-02T020000_hourly
Users having access to the root of the snapshot directory tree (in this example, /ibfs1/users/)
can navigate the /ibfs1/users/.snapshot directory, view snapshots, and copy all or part
of a snapshot. If necessary, users can copy a snapshot and overlay the present copy to achieve
manual rollback.
NOTE: Access to .snapshot directories is limited to administrators and NFS and SMB users.
Accessing snapshots using NFS
Access over NFS is similar to local StoreAll access except that the mount point will probably be
different. In this example, NFS export /ibfs1/users is mounted as /users1 on an NFS client.
[root@rhel5vm1 ~]# cd /users1/.snapshot
[root@rhel5vm1 .snapshot]# ls
2011-06-01T110000_hourly 2011-06-01T150000_hourly 2011-06-01T190000_hourly
2011-06-01T120000_hourly 2011-06-01T160000_hourly 2011-06-01T200000_hourly
2011-06-01T130000_hourly 2011-06-01T170000_hourly
2011-06-01T140000_hourly 2011-06-01T180000_hourly
Accessing snapshots using SMB
Over SMB, Windows users can use Explorer to navigate to the .snapshot folder and view files.
In the following example, /ibfs1/users/ is mapped to the Y drive on a Windows system.
