Microsoft ISCSI software Target Snapshot Management

Microsoft ISCSI software Target supports snapshot management, which allows you to manually create snapshots, snapshot task schedules, snapshot rollback, and so on.

The iSCSI target and device mappings are configured first, and the client maps the device to locally allocated disk space through the initiator program.

For the sake of experimentation, we copy some files in the mapped e-disk to make a snapshot reference.

To create a snapshot for a device

After you create the snapshot, you can see a snapshot of the device and the creation of a time point in the active snapshot.

Delete file operation on client, confirm file deleted after delete.

The snapshot rollback operation is then done on the target server.

Alarm prompt

This is caused by the client still mounting the device.

Log off the device on the client

The status has changed here

Performing a snapshot rollback operation again prompts the execution to succeed.

Re-login the device.

Verify that the deleted data has been restored.
