Viewing library files
You can search for and view library files. The information displayed indicates the customer account, and DS-Client account using the selected library file.
To view library files:
1. On the Setup menu, click Libraries, and then do the following:
• To view unencrypted library files, click Public tab
• To view encrypted files associated with a customer account, click the Customer tab. Beside the Account # box, click [...], and then select the customer account ID for which you want to view the library files.
• To view encrypted files associated with a DS-Client account, click the DS-Client tab. Beside the DS-Client # box, click [...], and then select the DS-Client number for which you want to view the library files.
• To view unused library files, click the Not Used tab.
• To view a specific library file by it’s ID number, click the Library ID tab. In the ID box, enter the ID number of the library file.
2. To select the number of files to display with a specific characteristic, enter a number in the Show first [...] with box, and then select the characteristic.
3. Click Find.
4. To view the usage of a library file, select the library file, and then click Select. In the Usage for Library file [...] dialog box, select the library file, and then click File Info. The file information with the DS-System path, originating computer, backup name, and backup date is displayed under File Information.
5. To invalidate a library file that you suspect contains inaccurate or incomplete data, select the library file, and then click Invalidate. When the system prompts you to confirm, click Yes. In the Libraries dialog box, the Valid column indicates the current status of the library file.
NOTE: Data in invalidated libraries can be restored. For invalidated libraries, the DS-Client retransmits the library contents the next time a backup process identifies the same file has been backed up. Invalidating a library file means the actual common file stored in the DS-System online storage is replaced with the next backup that contains the common file.
6. To view the header and storage information of a library file, select the library file, and then click Show Header.
7. Click Close.
