To recover a production volume that has become inaccessible due to logical corruption using RecoverPoint’s “Test a Copy and Recover Production” wizard, follow these steps:

Select a snapshot prior to the corruption: Identify and choose the appropriate point-in-time image from the Journal that was taken before the corruption occurred.

Mount the snapshot to a verification host and verify its integrity: Attach the selected snapshot to a non-production host where you can perform checks to ensure the data is consistent and free from corruption.

Unmount the production volume as the Recovery wizard will overwrite it with the recovery data: Ensure that the current production volume is not in use because the recovery process will overwrite the existing data with the data from the snapshot.

Monitor the progress of recovery from the Unisphere ‘Manage Recovery’ wizard: Use Dell EMC’s Unisphere interface to track the recovery process and ensure that the data is being restored correctly.

These steps are based on the standard procedures outlined in Dell RecoverPoint documentation for using the “Test a Copy and Recover Production” wizard to restore volumes to a previous state1.
