Recover Data from a Snapshot

The best way to protect against data loss is to back up your data. Regularly taking snapshots of your data can also help prevent loss, because you can recover data from snapshots.

Recover Data from a Snapshot to a Network-Attached Device

Recovering data from a snapshot to a network-attached device, such as a laptop or tablet, involves the following high-level steps:

1.Enable access to snapshots.

First, you must allow users to access snapshots from network-attached devices. You can grant access to snapshots by selecting the Allow snapshot access check box when you configure the properties of a folder. For more information, see View and Change the Properties of a Shared Folder on page 43.

2.Access a folder from a network-attached device.

Snapshots reside on the same volume as the folder (or LUN) from which they were created. After you enable access to snapshots, users can access snapshots of folders according to their access rights. Users who have access to a folder can access snapshots of that folder. Users who do not have access to a folder cannot access snapshots of that folder. For more information about accessing a folder from a network-attached device, see Access Shared Folders from a Network-Attached Device on page 60.

3.Locate the snapshot data on the ReadyNAS.

Snapshot data is stored in subfolders within the folder. Each snapshot has its own subfolder. Users who have read/write access to the folder can explore the data that is available in a snapshot and recover any desired file or folder.

Recover Data from a Snapshot to an iSCSI-Attached Device

Strictly speaking, users who access the ReadyNAS through an iSCSI-attached device do not have access to snapshots. However, you can clone a snapshot of a LUN to become a new independent LUN, and then assign the LUN clone to a LUN group that the users can access.

In order to recover data from the LUN clone, users must access the LUN clone from the same type of iSCSI-attached device that was used to format the parent of the clone. For example, if the parent LUN was formatted using a Windows device, users must access the LUN clone using a Windows device.

Recovering data from a snapshot to an iSCSI-attached device involves the following high-level steps:

1.Clone a snapshot of a LUN.

See Clone Snapshots on page 125. Cloning a snapshot of a LUN creates a new independent LUN.
