PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.15.0.0 Administrator's Guide for DM5500

Cyber Recovery Overview

The Cyber Recovery solution maintains mission-critical business data and technology configurations in a secure, 'vault' environment that can be used for recovery or analysis.

The Cyber Recovery vault is physically or virtually isolated from the production system or the network. The Cyber Recovery solution enables access to the Cyber Recovery vault only long enough to replicate data from the production system. At all other times, the Cyber Recovery vault is secured and off the network. Within the Cyber Recovery vault, the Cyber Recovery software creates point-in-time (PIT) retention-locked copies that can be validated and then used for recovery of the production system. With the latest release of the appliance we are able to achieve data isolation and data immutability for DM5500 backups using cyber recovery as a solution.

Depending of the type of DM5500 appliance you are using, leverage any free port available on PCIe slot3 or PCIe slot 4 for the vaulting purpose. To facilitate the vault configuration on DM5500 ensure that you have a dedicated port.
