PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

About server disaster recovery

The PowerProtect Data Manager system protection service enables you to protect the persistent data of a PowerProtect Data Manager system from catastrophic loss by creating a series of server disaster recovery (DR) backups.

Preparing for server DR requires the consideration of two scenarios: loss of the PowerProtect Data Manager server and loss of the entire site. Some of the information that you record during the server DR configuration process may only apply to one scenario or the other. As a best practice, you should gather and record all applicable information for both scenarios.

PowerProtect Data Manager supports three methods of server DR:

System recovery

System recovery creates point-in-time snapshots of the PowerProtect Data Manager server in protection storage. During a DR activity, recover the server from protection storage and then restore protected assets.

System recovery for server DR provides more information.

Quick recovery

Quick recovery makes a remote PowerProtect Data Manager replication destination aware of replicated backups and enables the recovery view. During a DR activity, you can restore assets from these replicated backups at the destination without first restoring the source server.

Quick recovery for server DR provides more information.

Cloud Disaster Recovery

Cloud DR enables you to restore to a DR site in a supported public cloud environment. During a DR activity, restore virtual machines to a Cloud DR server and recover those workloads in the cloud.
