Virtual mount

You can instantly mount your backup data virtually in the BDRSuiteVirtualDrive from where you can access your backup in different file formats such as IMG, VHD, VHDX, VMDK. Click Yes from the pop-up window to mount your backup data.

  • Once done with the requirement, unmount backup data. This will resume the backup job, so that increments will run as per schedule.

InformationNote: The Restore symbol is hidden or greyed-out due to the following reasons

  • If the backup selected for restore is currently in backup progress.
  • If the replication process is active for the backup that is selected for restore.
  • If the full backup of the selected backup job fails to complete.
  • If the backup selected for restore is already processing a Restore job at that moment.

Proceed to Persistent boot delete

During each instant boot (Quick VM recovery) and instant file recovery session, a change in backup data will take place which is saved as Persistent Instant boot data.

  • Persistent data can be restored using restore options if needed. The Persistent data is indicated with a (+P) sign alongside time-stamps of backup version.
  • Such persistent data can be deleted using the 'Persistent boot delete' option if it is not required.
  • The option lets you choose the time-stamp of persistent data to be deleted.
  • Confirm the deletion by selecting the check-box 'Are you sure you want to delete the selected version related persistent boot data from the repository location permanently?’ to proceed with the deletion process.

Delete

There are two types of delete available in the restore page:

  • Delete - Delete the backup entry from the server  
  • Full Backup Delete - Delete the latest full backup.
