BACKUP-TO-DISK AND RECOVERY WITH DEDUPLICATION
reCoVer INDIVIDual FIleS aND emaIlS
Recovering a single file from tape can take several minutes to several hours. For example,
recovery performance is greatly impacted by tape availability (e.g. whether it is within the tape
library or osite in a box somewhere). In addition, traditional backup and recovery applications
will require the recovery of entire systems – even if only one file is needed.
The PV DL2100 powered by CommVault couples the recovery performance of diskbased
recovery with application-aware protection policies which put single step recovery directly at
your fingertips. Cross-server, cross-version and even crossplatform options ensure your data is
readily available to service your recovery needs.
CommVault Simpana Data Protection provides the ability to backup data and index it in such a
way that clients can restore individual objects instead of being forced to restore entire systems.
For Exchange and Lotus Notes, this means the ability to restore that single piece of mail,
directly back into the mailbox of the user without causing an inconvenience or data loss to the
rest of the users. In addition, restores come directly from disk back to the user. With built in
granularity for applications, CommVault reduces the downtime and potential cost of not having
the data available to the user when it is needed. The simplicity with which these restores occur
also significantly reduces the personnel time and cost of having to do multi-stage restores
and search and discovery of data. CommVault Simpana Data Protection makes it easy for IT to
browse and find data, selecting as little or as much as is needed, and then recovering it quickly
and eciently.
