Recovery options: • Two step restore process that provides full recovery of VM and data: • Recover the VM image from VCB backup. • Required only in case the whole VM is lost or restore to a new ESX server. • Recover Application Data: • For replication based disc backups (IR), perform Instant Recovery. • For disc/tape backups, restore directly to the VM. • Recovery performed automatically by Data Protector as specified by user. Solution advantages: • VCB snapshot based backup is not really "application aware" whereas HP Data Protector ZDB quiesces the application prior to the hardware based snapshot and creates a crash consistent snapshot. It is much more suitable for live databases and email servers than VCB based backups. • Remove the backup load from VM to a backup server with Data Protector Zero Downtime Backup. • Reduce application recovery times from hours to minutes with Data Protector Instant Recovery. • Easy copy to physical tape if required.
