Viewing the contents of a backup

This topic provides information about viewing the contents of an MSS backup. The steps you must perform depend on the backup method you are using:

Viewing the contents of a DVD-RAM backup medium

The View Attributes of Backup Media page shows the following information for a DVD-RAM medium:

  • The backup medium number
  • The name of the machine (server)
  • The date and time of the backup
  • A list of the data types that were backed up
  • A list of the packages installed on the system at the time of backup

Viewing the contents of a remote backup

To view the contents of a backup to a remote storage location:

  1. Go to the View Contents of FTP/SFTP Server page, which lists all of the backups found in the directory on the remote storage server.
  2. Click the button next to the backup you want to view.
  3. Click View.
  4. The system requests the information from the remote storage server. Depending on the speed of the network, this might take a few minutes. The system then displays the following information about the selected backup:

    • The name of the remote storage machine
    • The date and time of the backup
    • A list of the data types that were backed up
    • A list of the packages installed on the system at the time of backup
