Setting Bookmarks

A bookmark is a checkpoint that is manually set to mark a state that you may want to rewind back to. We recommend setting a bookmark just before any activity that may 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, in the Replica Properties list.
• You cannot set bookmarks during the synchronization process.
• Hyper-V HA allows you to schedule bookmarks.

To set a bookmark

1. When the required scenario is running, select the Replica host from which you want to rewind data.
2. From the menu, select Tools, Set Rewind Bookmark.

   The Rewind bookmark dialog appears:

   The text that appears in the Rewind bookmark dialog will appear in the Rewind Points Selection dialog as the bookmark's name. The default name includes date and time.

3. Accept the default name, or enter a new name for the bookmark. It is recommended to give a meaningful name that will later help you recognize the required bookmark. Then, click OK.

   The bookmark is set.
