Browsing Time Machine Snapshots
Deprecated: Time Machine
Recommendation
We're planning to move the future-focused section of the Time Machine to the scope of individual pages, where it will be handled through our Universal Visual Editor. Time Machine snapshots of past versions of a site will be removed altogether; to preserve static snapshots of existing sites, we recommend using static push-publishing.
Reason
The Time Machine feature is both expensive and unwieldy to maintain as the product continues to grow. Its utilities and functions, however, can be retained and sustainably provisioned in the recommended manner (i.e., static push-publishing and UVE).
Once a Time Machine job has been scheduled, snapshots will be created automatically as defined in the job settings.
When the job runs, a new snapshot is created for each host, by date and language, these snapshots can then be browsed using the Time Machine portlet. Follow the steps below to browse the available snapshots:
Click on Site → Time Machine
You will the radio buttons for future and past. Select past and then select the desired the values in the date/time and language select fields.
After selecting the language the snapshot will load in the frame below.Browse the snapshot by clicking on the links on each page. Once you’re done browsing click on the button: “Close Snapshot” to be able to browse another snapshot or exit the Time Machine portlet.
