3.5.1. Backup Manifest

A manifest anchor stream is created in the storage cluster with the first backup set and updated with

every subsequent backup. The UUID for the manifest is displayed at the top of the backup interface.

It will not display until after the 2nd backup has been created.

Note

Administrators should copy this UUID into a safe location so that in the event of a

complete system failure the list of backup sets can be retrieved from the storage cluster.

The backup manifest is written with metadata that allows retrieval from the cluster with DX Content

Router if the UUID is ever lost. Specifically the two following headers will be present on the manifest

anchor stream:

CAStor-Application: backup_csn

CAStor-Application-Component: manifest
