With Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots, you can take advantage of the low overhead that periodic storage snapshots offer for low RPOs and let Veeam automate the whole recovery process for you, helping you deliver low RTOs as well. With this product, you can:
And it’s easy to use — just a few clicks in the Veeam interface and you can restore directly from any of Veeam’s storage partners.
Veeam works with the world’s leading storage providers to enable granular recovery from storage snapshots.
Here’s how it works:
1. Storage is instructed to create a writeable copy of the required volume snapshot.
2. This copy is mounted as the new datastore to the selected vSphere host.
3-5. The restored VM is temporarily registered on the host so Instant VM Recovery® of the entire VM can be immediately performed.
6. For granular restores, the backup server further mounts the temporary VM’s virtual disk through VMware VADP, and then the user can start restoring guest OS files and application items.
7. After recovery is complete, the datastore is unmounted from the proxy host and a copy of the volume snapshot is deleted.
