Received Snapshots
The Received Snapshots page allows you to view and work with received snapshots. When a replicated
NAS share is received from a source system, it is saved as a snapshot. The snapshot contains all of the data
necessary to fully recover or failback the share to the point in time when the snapshot was saved.
To access the Received Snapshots page, on the Receive NAS page, click the Received Snapshots tab
(see Figure 87 below).

Tasks
Use the Received Snapshots page to perform the following tasks:
l View information about received snapshots (see Snapshots List on the next page).
l Recover a partition on the target system (see Recovering a Share on the next page).
l Failback a partition to the source system (see Performing a Failback For a Share on page 141).
l Delete a received snapshot (see Deleting a Snapshot on page 143).
Note: The target system will retain up to 10 replication snapshots (default setting) for each replicated
partition. Once 10 snapshots have been saved, the oldest snapshot is deleted to make room for each
new snapshot that is received. (To change the maximum number of snapshots retained for each
partition, see Changing the Maximum Number of Snapshots).
