PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 Virtual Machine User Guide

Self-service restores

A PowerProtect Data Manager system or security administrator can enable users to perform self-service restores of their own assets without further administrator intervention.

Self-service restores require a scope of authority which includes the Restore Administrator role for the relevant user assets or asset sources. The PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide contains important prerequisites for self-service restores, such as configuring scopes of authority, resource groups, and role assignments.

After an administrator performs the necessary configuration, the scope of authority grants the user access to the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. Access the PowerProtect Data Manager UI provides instructions for logging in. From the UI, users can follow any of the methods that are described in this chapter to restore their data from backups.

Example

A user named Lisa owns several virtual machines on a vCenter asset source named Prototypes. Lisa is not currently a PowerProtect Data Manager user or a vCenter administrator. To meet recovery objectives and reduce overhead, Lisa requests that her system administrators configure self-service restore.

To fulfill the request, a system administrator creates a resource group named LisaRG. This resource group contains Lisa's virtual machines from the Prototypes asset source plus any other necessary resources. The system administrator also creates a scope of authority which grants Lisa the Restore Administrator and User roles for the LisaRG resource group.

Now, Lisa can log in to the PowerProtect Data Manager UI with her own account and browse backups of her assets. After selecting a backup, Lisa can restore an image of any of her virtual machines, perform file-level restores, or perform an Instant Access restore. Lisa only sees assets which belong to her and cannot see or affect assets which belong to others.
