Restoring Volumes From an Existing Persistent
Image
To restore a volume(s) from a persistent image, you must select the persistent image to be
restored.
NOTICE: A volume is dismounted during a restore. All reads and writes to a volume that occur
during the restore process are denied. Therefore, you must stop all I/O traffic to a volume while
restoring it.
To restore volumes from a persistent image, perform the following steps:
1 On the NAS Manager primary menu, click Disks, then click ActiveArchive.
2 Click Restore Persistent Images.
3 On the Persistent Images Restore page, click the radio button next to the persistent
image that is to be restored.
4 Click OK to restore the volumes protected by the persistent image, or click Cancel to
leave the volume intact.
NOTE: Restoring persistent images that contain multiple volumes will restore all of the volumes
in the persistent image.
NOTE: If you want the ability to restore a single volume, you must take single volume persistent
images.
