Accessing Shadow Copies From Client Systems Running Windows

Clients running Windows operating systems must meet the following requirements, depending on the operating system, to access shadow copies:

•Client systems running Windows Server 2003 already have the software available to access shadow copies.

•Client systems running Windows XP need to install the previous versions pack. This pack is located in the %systemroot%\system32\clients\twclient directory of your NAS system.

•Client systems running Windows 2000 and Windows NT® need the Shadow Copy Client system software, which is available at microsoft.com.

When the client software is installed, perform the following steps to access shadow copies:

1.Map to a share on the NAS system with the folder file that you want to access

2.Right click the folder or file you want to access and click Properties.

3.Click the Previous Versions or Shadow Copies tab to display previous versions that you can access.

4.Click the desired previous version.

5.Click View to browse the folder.

6.Click Copy to copy the contents to a new location.

7.Click Restore to restore the contents to the original location (If it is a folder, all subdirectories will also be restored).

Accessing Shadow Copies From Client Systems Running UNIX

Client systems running UNIX® do not require additional software to access a shadow copy. When a client system mounts a share with shadow copies, shadow copies are a pseudodirectory of the share in the format .@GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-HH:MM:SS.

You can browse shadow copy pseudodirectories like any other directory. Permission rules are the same as for client systems running Windows, except that client systems running UNIX with permissions when the shadow copy was taken will have permissions to access the shadow copy.
