Overview

In the event that the StorNext database is available and in tact, and the backups need to be retrieved and the S3 StorNext bucket owner password is not recoverable in the event it is lost, it will need to be recovered. The S3 StorNext bucket owner password is needed so the data that exists in the S3 bucket on Lattus can be recovered.
