DPX use case
Rapid Granular Restore and Disaster Recovery
Rapid granular restore and disaster recovery means recovering the smallest useful object when the incident is small, and recovering whole systems when the incident is large.
Restore only what the business needs
A recovery request can be a deleted file, a missing mailbox item, a corrupted database, a failed VM, or an entire site outage. DPX supports that range with restore modes for individual files and directories, application data, full VMs, multi-VM recovery, Instant Access, virtualization, bare metal recovery, catalog restore, NDMP restore, tape restore, and archived backup recovery. That choice matters because the fastest restore is usually the one that avoids moving unnecessary data. DPX lets teams choose a targeted recovery for everyday incidents and a broader recovery path for disasters.
Recovery paths for different incidents
DPX provides multiple restore modes so administrators can match the recovery operation to the failure:
- Restore single files or directories from file, block, VMware, or Hyper-V backups.
- Use Instant Access to map a selected backup instance and browse snapshot data quickly.
- Recover Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, and GroupWise application data.
- Use bare metal recovery, virtualization, or full VM restore when a full system must come back.
Disaster recovery depends on restore confidence
A disaster recovery plan works only when the team can identify, select, and run the correct restore workflow under pressure.
Fast access
Instant Access and Instant VM Restore reduce waiting by letting teams use backup data without a full copy operation first.
Granular scope
File and application restores avoid broad rebuilds when the problem is narrow, reducing downtime and operational risk.
Full recovery
Bare metal recovery, VM restore, catalog restore, and alternate resource recovery support larger outages and site-level planning.
Restore and DR questions
What does DPX mean by granular restore?
Granular restore means recovering the specific object needed: a file, directory, application object, VM disk, or application dataset, rather than restoring an entire system when that is not necessary.
Can DPX support full disaster recovery?
Yes. DPX supports full VM restore, multi-VM restore, virtualization of block backups, bare metal recovery, catalog restore, and recovery from alternate or replicated resources. Pair it with remote office backup and long-term retention for broader planning.
How do I make recovery safer after ransomware?
Scan and validate recovery points before restoring production data. DPX works with GuardMode-based ransomware protection and immutable storage to help teams locate a clean restore point.
