Checkpoint backups send the Avamar metadata to Data Domain storage and it can be recovered if necessary. If you configured checkpoint backups to Data Domain, professional services can perform a checkpoint restore and rollback to recover the AVE.
The procedure for configuring checkpoint backup can be found in the Avamar / Data Domain integration guide (see pg. 33):
https://www.emc.com/collateral/TechnicalDocument/docu69622.pdf
The link above is for Avamar 7.3 but the procedure is similar for other versions.
If checkpoint backup was not configured and the Avamar system does not have a replication partner, the metadata for the backups is lost.
