Cyber Recovery sandboxes

A sandbox is a unique location in the Cyber Recovery vault in which you can perform read/write operations on a point in time (PIT) copy. This copy is a read/write copy of the locked data in the Cyber Recovery vault.

The Cyber Recovery software supports two types of sandboxes:

• System sandboxes—The Cyber Recovery software enables you to create custom sandboxes manually to perform operations by using applications that are not in the Cyber Recovery default list. A sandbox can contain only one PIT copy, however, you can create multiple sandboxes for one PIT copy. You create sandboxes as needed for data analytics, validation operations or recovery for other backup applications or data. The CyberSense software automatically creates a system sandbox when you initiate an analyze operations on a PIT copy.
• Recovery sandboxes—The Cyber Recovery software automatically creates recovery sandboxes when you initiate a PowerProtect Data Manager recovery.
