Restoring files

Nightly snapshots of the /gpfs/home and /gpfs/data file systems are available for the past six days. These are available in the .snapshots folder of those file systems:

[username@login002 ~]$ ls /gpfs/home/.snapshots/
daily_0  daily_1  daily_2  daily_3  daily_4  daily_5  daily_6

[username@login002 ~]$ ls /gpfs/data/.snapshots/
daily_0  daily_1  daily_2  daily_3  daily_4  daily_5  daily_6

The numbers following the directories indicate the day of the week on which the snapshot was created:

0 = Sunday
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday

For example, if it is Tuesday, and you would like to find a 4 day old version of a file in your home directory, you could look in the snapshot from the previous Friday at:

/gpfs/home/.snapshots/daily_5/username/<path_to_file>
