NOTE:All time stamps reflect the time zone of the PlateSpin Server host. This might be different from the time zone of the protected workload or the time zone of the host on which you are running the PlateSpin Protect Web Interface. A display of the server date and time appears at the bottom right of the client window.
Commands reflect the workflow of workload protection and recovery. To perform a command for a workload, select the corresponding check box at the left. Applicable commands depend on the current state of a workload.
