Recovery Points Page

The Recovery Points page shows a list of all existing recovery points. Use the drop-down list at the top of the page to select an archiving file system. After choosing an archiving file system, the recovery points with their default locations are displayed in the table. You can also browse to a different directory if you create a recovery point in a different location.

You must create an index for a recovery point before you can view the contents in the File Browser page. In addition, the following table lists the tools and data that are available on this page.
