1092 - How to use the Search function

In the Management Console, right-click on the account within which you want to search and click the Search option. If no Search option is visible, you need to first activate the Search function.

You will be presented with a link which will take you to the search portal in your web browser. Here you will be asked to enter a username (with Search permission) and the encryption key for the relevant backup group.

Note: If you are looking to delete any or all of the files yielded by your search, your Redstor software needs to be up to date. If our system detects that one or more of the accounts within which you are searching has not been updated to our latest release, you will be unable to delete files. A banner message to this effect will be shown immediately after login and will not disappear until the software has been updated. A list of the affected accounts can be accessed by clicking on the Show Accounts option.

The main page of the search portal has two tabs, namely Search and Deletion History.

To search, type the term you are looking for into the Search field and select your search parameters from the drop-down menus.

Your search results will be displayed as a list. Files will be shown in their Collections, Groups and Accounts where applicable. Search results are sorted by account with the most results first. You can set how many results you want to see at a time. Users with the relevant permission/s will also be able to download or delete any file shown in the search results.

To see which files have been deleted, click the Deleted History tab on the left. A list of successful, failed and pending delete sessions sorted by date and time will be shown, along with basic information about them.

To see more information on a particular delete session, such as which Collections, Groups or Accounts it included, expand its tab in the list.
