Block-based backups
In PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, File System agent block-based backup is the default backup method if there is no exclusion filter enabled for a protection policy, and it provides instant access to the backups. The block-based backups enable you to mount the backups by using the same file systems that you used to back up the data.
The File System agent block-based backups support the following capabilities:
- Mounting of a backup as a file system
- Mounting of an incremental backup
- Sparse backup support
- Backups of operating system-deduplicated file systems as source volumes on Windows
- Forever virtual full backups to DD
- DD retention lock
- Recoveries from DD
Block-based backups are useful for datasets that are under 10 TB with a single volume under 5 TB, and a daily change rate under 5%.
