Unexposing a snapshot

After restoring from a snapshot, you may choose to unexpose a snapshot; unexposing a snapshot
completely removes access to it. Note that unexposing a Latest data will result in that snapshot also
being removed.

NOTE:

A snapshot of a shared folder cannot be exposed or unexposed using ASM. Use the Shadow Copy
Client to view snapshots of shared folders from a client computer. Snapshots of a shared folder are
stored on the same logical disk as the shared folder, in a protected system folder.

To unexpose a snapshot:

1.

Select an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, or user-defined application in the
content pane.

2.

In the Actions pane, click Snapshots and then click Manage Snapshots. The Manage Snapshots
dialog box displays.

3.

Select an exposed snapshot from the snapshot list.

4.

Click Unexpose.

5.

Click Yes to confirm.

Reverting data to snapshots

ASM allows you to revert data stored on your HP Storage System to a snapshot. This overwrites the
existing data and reverts it to a past state.

NOTE:

Snapshots of shared folders cannot be reverted using ASM. To revert a shared folder to a past
snapshot, use the Shadow Copy Client.

Snapshots of user-defined applications that are configured as local storage only applications
cannot be reverted using ASM because all data that is on the same volume as the application
would also be reverted.

1.

Select an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, or user-defined application in the
content pane.
