About server disaster recovery
The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance system protection service enables you to protect the persistent data of a PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 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 Appliance 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 Appliance supports three methods of server DR:
Appliance recovery
System recovery creates point-in-time snapshots of the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance server in Protection Storage. During a DR activity, recover the server from Protection Storage and then restore protected assets.
Quick recovery
Quick recovery makes a remote PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 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.
Cloud Disaster Recovery
VPN can be used to deploy a private network. During a DR activity, restore services to a Cloud DR (Service) server and recover those workloads in the cloud.
