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:
- 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.
- Click the button next to the backup you want to view.
- Click View.
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
