After a disaster, the quick recovery feature enables you to restore assets and data that you replicated to a system at a remote site. You can use the quick recovery remote view to work with the replicated copies on the remote system after the local system is no longer available. For example, you can use the remote view to restore critical assets before you restore the local system.
Use
Restore > Assets in the remote view to locate copies.
Quick recovery is supported for the following assets protected by
PowerProtect Data Manager:
Virtual machine image-level and file-level restores
NOTE:Quick recovery is not supported for application-aware VADP or TSDM workloads.
Kubernetes namespaces and PVCs
File systems
CAUTION:Do not attempt the quick recovery of a system partition or boot disk.
Microsoft Exchange Server
Microsoft SQL Server Application Direct
NOTE:Quick recovery is not supported for application-aware Microsoft SQL Server VM Direct workloads.
Oracle
SAP HANA
NOTE: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. Copies from the source system can be viewed in the
Jobs > Protection Jobs and
Jobs > System Jobs windows of the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI on the remote system.
NOTE:The restore of these copies can only be performed in the remote view. When a restore job is started, both the local and remote view display the progress.
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.
