Application restores after BMR
If you use the Windows VSS plug-in to perform the system state backups, then the backups include binaries for applications that use a Windows service, such as Microsoft Exchange. However, the backups typically exclude application configuration, databases, and files.
When you restore the system state during BMR, these applications are restored to a functional state. If the application binaries are not in the backup, then you must reinstall the application.
If you install an application on a noncritical volume and the volume is destroyed, then you must either restore the noncritical volume from a Windows File System plug-in backup or reinstall the application.
To restore application data, use the application plug-in.
