Types of backed up data that can be restored

The following types of data can be restored from a backup:

ClosedProtected files

When recovering data from a file-level backup, you can restore individual files or an entire backup. You can restore the data to the original client or to an alternate location. For details, see Restoring File-level Backups.

For details about recovering files from application and virtual machine backups, see Protected applications or Protected virtual machine infrastructure. If you are protecting virtual machines with file-level backups using a Unitrends agent, you can recover data using the procedures discussed in Restoring File-level Backups.

ClosedProtected applications

To recover application backups, you can restore the entire database or perform item-level recovery with some applications. For application-specific details, see the following chapters:

• Microsoft Exchange recovery
• Oracle restore from the backup system
• Restoring SharePoint backups
• Restoring SQL backups
• Restoring UCS service profile backups
ClosedProtected operating systems

Use disaster recovery procedures to recover operating systems. For details, see Bare Metal Protection Overview.

ClosedProtected virtual machine infrastructure

You can restore entire virtual machines or individual files from VMware or Hyper-V backups. For details, see Restoring the VMware virtual infrastructure or Restoring the Hyper-V virtual infrastructure.

ClosedReplicated data

You can restore replicated backups to a client that is directly attached to the target. For details, see Restoring replicated backups.

ClosedArchived data

Archived backups can be restored by performing a two procedure process:

1 Restore the archive to the backup system.
2 Restore the available backup from the backup system to the desired client.

For further details about restoring archived data to desired clients, see Archive restore.
