Setting Bookmarks
A bookmark is a checkpoint that is manually set to mark a state back to which you can revert. We recommend setting a bookmark just before any activity that can cause data to become unstable. Bookmarks are set in real-time, and not for past events.
Notes:
- You can use this option only if you set the Recovery--Data Rewind option to On (default setting is Off).
- You cannot set bookmarks during the synchronization process.
- You can insert manual bookmarks for Full System HA scenarios.
To set a bookmark
- Select the Replica host on the Scenario pane from which you want to rewind data when the required scenario is running.
- Select the Set Rewind Bookmarkoption on the Tools menu.
- The Rewind Bookmark dialog opens.
- The text that appears in the Rewind Bookmark dialog appears in the Rewind Points Selection dialog as the bookmark's name. The default name includes date and time.
- Accept the default name, or enter a new name for the bookmark, and click OK.
- Note: It is recommended that you provide a meaningful name that will later help you recognize the required bookmark.
- The bookmark is set.
Note: In some scenarios, such as Full System HA, applying journal changes is suspended until the bookmark is created and then resumed.
