To locate one or more specific copies of a protected asset from a list of all available asset copies, you can use the advanced search and filter functionality within the
Infrastructure > Copy Management window. Any user with the privilege to
View Copies from the
Infrastructure > Assets window also has permissions to access copy management.
Go to
Infrastructure > Copy Management.
Select the asset type tab, for example
Virtual Machine. The copies of all available protected assets display. You can use the sort icons within the table columns to sort by Asset Name, Asset Type, Copy Status, and so on, or click the gear icon to add other columns to the table, such as the retention date and time, storage unit name, and copy size.
Select one or more asset copies. When a copy is selected, you can switch between two views —
All Copies (the default view), and
Selected Copies, which displays only the asset copies that you have selected.
When the checkbox next to an asset copy is selected, you can perform the following actions, similar to when you click
View Copies from the
Infrastructure > Assets window:
Edit the retention period for a selected asset copy. Note that
Edit Retention is disabled for SQL VM Direct asset copies.
Delete one or more selected asset copies.
Remove the copy record from
PowerProtect Data Manager for any asset copy in
Deletion Failed or
Delete Catalog Failed status.
Using the Search bar
Use the Search bar to search for assets by asset name, asset type, copy name, or copy type.
Using the Details pane
Clicking any row in the
Infrastructure > Copy Management window opens a
Details pane to the right of the window. You can also click the arrow to the right of the table at any time to open this pane.
Other details include the protection policy that includes this asset, the storage unit and storage name, and whether the copy is crash-consistent or application-aware. Clicking the
Protection Policy link opens the
Copy Management > Policy window, where you can view the backup schedules and the assets in the policy.
Using advanced filters to search for specific copies
When the
All Copies view is enabled, you can also apply filters in the right pane to narrow the copy search criteria.
The following five categories of filters are available:
Creation Date and Time: Select the
Between,
Before, or
After filter and specify a creation date and time range, or leave the default
All to view all available copies in the system.
Retention Date: Select the
Between,
Before, or
After filter and specify a retention date and time range, or leave the default
All to view all available copies in the system.
Asset Filters: Select an asset type, and then click
Select Assets and
Select Policy to open a window that displays only the assets and policies for that asset type. You can then select individual assets and policies to return the search results only for those selections in the
Infrastructure > Copy Management window.
Copy Filters: Filter copies by
Copy Stage,
Copy Status,
Copy Type, and
Size.
Location Filters: Click
Select Protection Storage to choose a protection storage system, and then click
Select Storage Unit to choose one or more storage units within that storage system.
NOTE:
The calendar widget used to select a month closes when scrolling through the dropdown list. Select a month by clicking
or
instead.
When a filter is enabled, the filter icon displays next to the category, and the name of the applied filter appears above the list of copies on the
Infrastructure > Copy Management window. Clicking
Cancel on any of the categories within this pane resets the filter.
