Accessing Snapshot

RMAHAFFEY — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:54:23 GMT

Hello,

I backup exchange snapshots using NetBackup via NDMP. I have restored a snapshot backup and I am left with a .lun file. How do I access the .lun file in order to use SMBR? I am sure this is easy but I'm new and can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Ryan

You would need to assign the lun to a server in order to access the content.

Is there any document that explains how to connect a .lun file to a server. I am sure it is don via snapdrive but I am having trouble getting it to work.

Thanks so much for responding.

Yes, Thank you! Apparently I was restoring the snapshot wrong so I was not able to connect the lun in snapdrive. Thanks!
