PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Kubernetes User Guide
Quick recovery for server DR
After a disaster, the quick recovery feature enables you to restore assets and data that you replicated to a system at a remote site.
NOTE:Quick recovery does not re-create the original backup environment and local system which protected the restored assets. Therefore, quick recovery is not a substitute for a server DR restore. To continue backing up the restored assets at the remote site, add the restored assets to a protection policy on the remote system.
Quick recovery is supported for the following assets protected by PowerProtect Data Manager:
- Virtual machines
NOTE:This support does not include application-aware VADP workloads.
- Kubernetes namespaces and PVCs.
- File systems.
CAUTION:Do not attempt the quick recovery of a system partition or boot disk.
Quick Recovery does not support restoring user data at the file or folder level.
Quick recovery sends metadata from the local system to the remote system, following the flow of backup copies. This metadata enables recovery view on the remote system. You can recover your workloads at the remote site before you have the opportunity to restore the local PowerProtect Data Manager system.
For example, the following figures show two sites that are named A and B, with independent PowerProtect Data Manager and DD systems for protection storage. Each site contains unique assets. Figure Figure 1 shows the initial configuration with both sites replicating copies to each other. Figure Figure 2 shows the result, with site A down. The site A assets have been restored with quick recovery into the site B environment from the replicated copies.
PowerProtect Data Manager supports quick recovery for alternate topologies. You can configure quick recovery for one-to-many and many-to-one replication. For example, the following figure shows a local system PowerProtect Data Manager replicating to a standby remote DD system with its own PowerProtect Data Manager, all in the same data center. If the local system fails, the quick recovery feature ensures that you can still restore from those replicated copies before you restore the source.
The following topics explain the prerequisites, how to configure PowerProtect Data Manager to support quick recovery, and how to use the recovery view to restore assets.
