Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery 19.12 Product Guide

PDF

Assets overview

Assets in the Cyber Recovery vault are represented as storage, application, and vCenter server objects.

NOTE Power on all assets before you add them to your Cyber Recovery deployment.

Storage objects

Storage objects represent storage systems, such as DD systems. Define a storage object for each DD system that is running in the Cyber Recovery vault. The Cyber Recovery software uses the DD system to perform replications, store point-in-time (PIT) copies, and apply retention locking.

Application objects

Application objects represent applications, such as Avamar, NetWorker, or PowerProtect Data Manager, or the CyberSense feature.

NOTE The CyberSense feature is only supported as a component of the Cyber Recovery solution in the Cyber Recovery vault; it is not supported on the production system.

Usually, you include Avamar, NetWorker, and PowerProtect Data Manager backup applications in the Cyber Recovery vault when the DD system is integrated with those applications in your production systems. The Cyber Recovery vault does not require these applications to protect the data because MTree replications copy all the data to the Cyber Recovery vault. However, running the applications in the Cyber Recovery vault enables you to recover and restore your data so that it can be used to rehydrate production backup applications, if necessary.

The Cyber Recovery software integrates with the CyberSense feature application, which analyzes backup data for the presence of malware or other anomalies. After you install CyberSense feature on a separate host in the Cyber Recovery vault, define an application object for it. Then, Cyber Recovery policies can call the CyberSense feature to analyze PIT copies of supported datasets.

vCenter server objects

If you plan to use PowerProtect Data Manager to perform a recovery in the Cyber Recovery vault, add a vCenter server asset. Otherwise, a PowerProtect Data Manager recovery fails.
