What is granular recovery?
Granular recovery is an advanced technology that allows IT organizations to perform both file and image-level recovery from a single pass backup operation. Many backup solutions require multiple backups to recover both individual files (or folders) and an entire system (either physical or virtual). Granular recovery provides the ability to recover specific files in seconds from a single backup. This dramatically reduces the recovery time and the footprint of the backup on storage resources. Granular recovery can also be used in a similar fashion for virtual servers by providing IT administrators with system recovery and granular file recovery options in one backup operation. With granular recovery, rather than having to restore an entire virtual machine or do a secondary redundant backup in order to recover a single file, administrators can retrieve a file directly out of a single backup and restore it back to a guest virtual machine.
