2.Click on the production storage group you want to recover in the Select Storage Group panel.

A list of point-in-time shadow copies displays in the Point-in-Time copies panel. The contents of the list depends on whether you selected Roll Forward or Point-in-Time.

3.Click the point-in-time copy you want to use to restore the production storage group.

Note: The point-in-time recovery dialog shows only the point-in-time copies residing in the user specified xml file path. If you want to see the point-in-time copies in other directories you must change the xml file path to point to those directories.

4.Select LUN Swap or Full Resync. (These are grayed out for PIT.)

Full Resync replaces the production data on the production LUN with the most recent copy from the recovery LUN by copying the data back to its original location. For servers in a cluster, only Full Resync is allowed.

LUN Swap reverses roles of the LUNs and turns the recovery LUN into the production LUN, and the production LUN into a recovery LUN. This is the fastest option, producing almost immediate results. After a swap, you may need to create additional recovery LUNs before you can make new shadow copies. For servers in a cluster, LUN Swap is not allowed.

Caution When you select LUN Swap, the Delete Production Volumes after swap checkbox is selected. Selecting this checkbox deletes the production volumes after the swap, which irreversibly deletes your production data.

Important: Use swap only temporarily if your recovery LUNs reside on less reliable external storage disks because these less reliable disks become the production LUNs. To swap disks back again, use Business Copy within Command View to create copies of the current production LUNs in the original production disk group. Then present the copied LUNs to the production server, assign drive letters, and update the database and log path within Exchange.

Delete Selected Copy deletes the selected point-in-time copy without waiting until after the recovery.
