View backup snapshots for a user
Overview
A snapshot is a point-in-time image of the backup folders and indicates the state of the backup folders at a particular point of time. inSync creates a snapshot while backing up a user device. It contains the list of files and folders that inSync backed up.
Procedure
To view the snapshot on a user device or their SaaS Apps account,
- Go to Endpoints, and click Users.
- Click on a user's Name whose snapshots you want to view.
- On the user details page, click the Backups tab.
- Select the Datasource for which you want to view the snapshot details. Curated Snapshot and all other snapshots are displayed.
Note: Curated Snapshot is available only for Endpoints. It is displayed only if the Ransomware Recovery service is enabled for your organization and administrators have created a Curated Snapshot for Endpoints.
If displayed, hover over the icons beside the snapshot to know more about that particular snapshot.
