It’s easy to understand the problem, but not so easy to solve it. In NetApp file environments, there is no central file catalog that lets you easily find and restore one or more files. All you can do is spend time looking for the file needle in the storage haystack, or – as often happens – simply deny the recovery request.
We have a better way!!
What’s more, RestoreManager indexes both primary and secondary storage. That’s important because primary snapshots are usually only maintained for a few days. By also indexing SnapMirror and SnapVault destination volumes, you can find older versions of files that have been moved off your primary storage.
With RestoreManager, you can truly use NetApp Snapshot, SnapVault and SnapMirror technologies for filer backup and get away from slower backup processes. RestoreManager fills the array copy gap of not having a searchable file index.
- Reliable backup that works
- Rapid recovery when you need it
- An open storage model
- A first-class support team
- Affordable, easy to understand licensing
Flexible Choice of Indexing Strategy
RestoreManager can selectively index primary systems only, secondary systems only, or both. The choice is up to the users and depends on file recovery requirements.
Solution Architecture
RestoreManager supports all versions of the ONTAP operating system for NetApp primary storage systems. For NetApp SnapVault and SnapMirror targets, RestoreManager works with ONTAP and NetApp Cloud Backup (formerly AltaVault).
RestoreManager uses the Elasticsearch database, an open source solution that has excellent scalability, performance, load balancing and availability.
Data Analytics
RestoreManager also includes a full Kibana dashboard for creating data analytics reports. Data reporting is included at no additional cost.
