Universal Object Recovery

The Universal Object Recovery feature allows you to recover virtually any object in your infrastructure—regardless of the application or file system—in just minutes. This is achieved by mounting the appropriate backup to a VM or physical machine and then recovering the required data using native application tools.

Universal Object Recovery provides multiple recovery options, increases flexibility, and significantly reduces recovery time. Key benefits include:

Versatility

With Universal Object Recovery, you are not limited to specific applications or file systems. You can recover any object at any time, provided a suitable backup is available. The feature allows you to recover individual objects to the original source, to another VM or instance, or to a physical machine.

Lower Overhead

Universal Object Recovery enables you to restore individual objects without recovering the entire VM or physical machine. This eliminates the complexity of full machine recovery and allows you to focus on resolving issues more efficiently.

Faster Recovery

Recovering an entire machine from a compressed and deduplicated backup can be time-consuming and may impact recovery time objectives. With Universal Object Recovery, you can instantly mount disks from a backup, reducing recovery time and minimizing disruption to business operations.

To recover application objects using NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you simply open the Universal Object Recovery Wizard and select the required recovery point. After choosing the disks to mount, NAKIVO Backup & Replication attaches them to the specified VM or physical machine. You then log in to the target system and use native application tools to recover the necessary data.
