Recovering Backup Copies

If a local backup is not available, you can recover from a backup copy. The same recovery operations that are used for local backups are supported for backup copies, but recovering from backup copies requires additional steps. These steps vary depending on the backup copy target. See the following table for procedures by backup copy target:

Important!  Once you have imported a backup copy to your appliance, you have 72 hours to utilize the backup. After 72 hours, the imported backup is subject to standard appliance purging rules. In most cases, the backup will be purged quickly because the original backup date is used in determining which backups to purge next.
