The Metadata Archive History feature enables the Metadata Archive subsystem of StorNext's FSM to keep track of past versions of the file system's metadata. This allows you to perform queries about the former state of the file system.
There are three tools you can use to perform the queries:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| snhistory | This tool lets you query for the history of file system activity that has occurred between two given points of time. |
| snaudit | This tool allows an administrator to query and discover which machines and users performed modifications or I/O to a file. |
| snrecover | This tool uses a file system's currently active metadata archive to recover recently deleted files. |
For additional information, see the snhistory, snaudit, and snrecover commands in the StorNext Man Pages Reference Guide.
