What can be backed up & recovered
#CyberFit Academy
How to Plan for Backup
Understand your data environment and what needs to be
backed up, e.g., for recovery and/or for archival
? ?
Entire machine/disks/volumes/VMs or Application-aware backup and need
individual files/folders/databases? for granular recovery?
? ?
Regulatory/audit compliance? Legal Size of data and length of backup
obligations? window?
#CyberFit Academy
How to Plan for Backup
Determine the backup strategy (retention period and replication?) and the most
suitable type of storage for storing and retrieving the backup
?
D2D2D (remoted disk storage) or D2D2C
?
Local, network storage and/or cloud?
?
Staging to cloud for replication or archival?
#CyberFit Academy
How to Plan for Backup
Have multiple versions of your backup, follow the 3-2-1 rule:

Key differentiator: Data recovery with minimal RTO and RPO
Backup Event
Maximum data loss you can have. Time needed to fully bring back a system online.

Secure Zone
i
Secure Zone is a secure partition that can be created on a local disk of
the machine being backed up:
• Offers a cost-effective and handy method for protecting data from software
malfunction, virus attack and human error
• Eliminates the need for a separate media or network connection to
backup/recover data
• Can be used as a “staging” storage prior to replication of backups
Limitations:
• Cannot be created on a Mac
• Does not protect against physical failure of the local disk
• Does not support single-file backup format
#CyberFit Academy
Secure Zone
To create a Secure Zone, perform the following Steps:

Types of Backup
✓ Full Backup
• Stores all data selected for backup: forms base for F F F F
subsequent incremental and differential backups
✓ Incremental Backup
• Stores changes to data since most recent backup F I I I
• Creates “chain” of backups, requires corresponding full
+ all subsequent incrementals to restore data
✓ Differential Backup
• Stores changes to data since most recent full backup F D D D
• Creates “links” to full backup, requires corresponding
full + differential to restore data
#CyberFit Academy
Backup Schemes
✓ Always full
F F F
• All backups, created on schedule or started manually.
✓ Custom
• Specify schedules for full, differential, and incremental backups.
Differential backup not available when backing up SQL data,
Exchange data, or system state.

• In order to avoid VM going into "saved" state during backup, make sure that the
Integration services -> Backup (Volume checkpoint) option is enabled in VM
settings in Hyper-V Manager
• There must be network connection from Agent for Hyper-V to guest VM network,
since application data is read over WMI which requires network connection to guest
OS
• No Windows dynamic disks present in the guest OS.
• UAC has to be disabled on Windows-based VMs, if not, a built-in domain
administrator credentials have to be specified when enabling application backup

Recovering as Virtual Machine
In Backup Console, disk-level backups (Entire
machine, Disks/volumes) of physical machines can
be recovered to:
• Physical machine (original)
• Virtual machine (convert to VM)
• Agent will automatically map the disks from the backup
to the target machine. Alternatively, click DISK
MAPPING to manually map the disk(s) for recovery
• Recovery of OS requires a reboot and machine will
come online automatically
If recovering to Virtual machine (convert to VM):
• VMware vSphere Hypervisor or Hyper-V can be selected as the target
machine and Datastore for vSphere Hypervisor or Path for Hyper-V can be
configured as well as VM SETTINGS such as Memory, Virtual processors and
Network adapters

• Used when Automatic driver search cannot locate suitable drivers in any
of the locations that were specified
• If a specific mass storage controller such as RAID or fiber channel
adapter is required
• Be careful with specifying Mass storage drivers to install anyway as
mistakes will render the recovered OS inoperable and you will have to
redo the bare metal recovery
If Universal Restore cannot find a compatible driver in the specified
locations, it will display a prompt about the problem device; choose either to
Ignore or Retry after adding drivers to specified locations to be searched
