6. Select the existing Target. This is the Target NAS share from which files should be recovered. Click Next. NOTE: If the mapping has been broken there will be an entry that says Non-replicating share (instead of Replication Target). 7. At the Edit Share Mapping step, either adopt the mapping that - HP StoreOnce D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 76
to run reverse replication. 9. As soon as reverse replication has completed, the data may be recovered to the host using the original backup application. 10. New backups can now run to the Source Appliance and replication will run normally without further configuration. 76 Replication functions - HP StoreOnce D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 77

What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows: • Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. • Backup - HP StoreOnce D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 81

10 seconds, so this information provides a useful overview of Catalyst activity on the StoreOnce Backup system. However, the data displayed on this status page is generally for information purposes only bandwidth used (it includes the efficiency achieved through 82 HP StoreOnce Catalyst functions - HP StoreOnce D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 83
and it will optimize the queuing and running of jobs based on the resources available. If the Data job count starts getting high, the HP StoreOnce Backup system is being loaded quite heavily. You may see jobs failing to start or running slowly (although the aggregate performance across the many jobs - HP StoreOnce D2D2504i | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 84

VSA Backup system user guide
Abstract
This is the user guide for the HP StoreOnce VSA Backup system. It describes all tasks that can be carried out by an administrator
or operator from the Web Management Console (GUI). Some of these tasks may also be carried out from the StoreOnce
Command Line Interface (CLI) and the some of those commands are included in this guide. This guide does not describe all
tasks that can only be carried out from the StoreOnce CLI and/or the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager (SEM) GUI.
