Moving Data Into a Container

To move data into an existing DR Series system container, complete the following:

1.

Click Start → Windows Explorer → Network.
The Network page is displayed, which lists all current computers.

2.

In the browser Address bar, click Network to select your DR Series hostname or IP address.
The Network page is displayed, which lists all current storage and replication containers.

NOTE: However, if your DR Series system is not listed, you can enter its hostname or IP Address preceded by
"https://" and followed by the container name in the Address bar to access it (for example in this format,
https://10.10.20.20/container-1). The DR Series system only supports the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
(HTTPS) form of IP addressing.

3.

Move data from the source location to the destination container using your regular DMA or backup application

process.

NOTE: If any file ingested by the DR Series system by a DMA or backup application is renamed or deleted
without using the DMA or backup application’s process, the corresponding catalog must be updated
accordingly. Failure to do so may prevent the DMA or backup application from being able to access the data.

4.
