To navigate files and folders within a snapshot in Mystic to view the directory structure as it existed at the time of the snapshot.
To navigate files and folders within a snapshot in Mystic, use the ls command with the snapshot ID and a specified path. This command displays the directory structure as it existed at the time of the snapshot. Without a specified path, the command may take a long time to list all files recursively. For better efficiency, provide a specific directory within the snapshot’s root path. For example, ls SNAPSHOT_ID /mnt/data lists files and folders within /mnt/data, functioning similarly to the standard Linux ls command. Using targeted paths ensures faster and more manageable results when browsing snapshot contents.
COMMAND: ls SNAPSHOT_ID PATH
e.g. COMMAND=ls latest
# This will show all files in the latest snapshot.
# We do not recommend it because of long waiting time to print all files recursively.
e.g. COMMAND=ls SNAPSHOT_ID /mnt/data
# This will show files and folders like ls command of Linux but in the specified snapshot.
#(Assuming snapshot’s root path is /mnt/data)
1 # COMMAND="ls cb279555 /mnt/data/Users/Administrator"
