PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 for Cyber Recovery User Guide
Infrastructure overview
Assets in the Cyber Recovery vault are represented as vault storage, application, vCenter server, and Sheltered Harbor objects.
Vault storage objects
Vault storage objects represent DD systems. Define vault storage 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 the PowerProtect Data Manager or CyberSense applications.
Usually, you include the PowerProtect Data Manager application 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 application, which analyzes backup data for the presence of malware or other anomalies. After you install the CyberSense application on a separate host in the Cyber Recovery vault, in the Cyber Recovery UI, add CyberSense as an application object. Then, Cyber Recovery policies can call the CyberSense to analyze PIT copies of supported datasets.
vCenter server objects
For an on-premises deployment, if you plan to use PowerProtect Data Manager to perform a recovery in the Cyber Recovery vault, add a vCenter server asset. Otherwise, you cannot add a PowerProtect Data Manager application to the Cyber Recovery deployment to be used to perform a recovery.
For Cyber Recovery deployments on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a vCenter server asset is not required for a PowerProtect Data Manager recovery.
Sheltered Harbor objects
If you are a Sheltered Harbor participant, secure your data and comply with the Sheltered Harbor Turnkey Data Vaulting Solution specification by adding a Sheltered Harbor license and detailed information for each financial institution.
