How To Download Snapshot Data under Legal Hold Using WinSCP

Updated over a week ago

Overview

This document outlines the procedure for downloading Legal Hold data using WinSCP as the client via a WebDav URL. WinSCP is a widely recognized, free data transfer client that supports various protocols, including FTP, SFTP, and WebDav. The WinSCP client can be obtained from WinSCP's official website.

Each Legal Hold generates a unique WebDav URL, which will be used in this guide for data retrieval through WinSCP.

Druva recommends utilizing its proprietary e-discovery tool for downloading snapshots. Employing WinSCP is considered a temporary solution, and any issues encountered with WinSCP will not be supported by Druva.
