Many of you may be familiar with that process but I am excited to tell you how much easier recovery is with this new capability. A while back, I blogged about file-level recovery using a recovery ISO. So, what’s new? HC3 has always been able to quickly recover entire VMs to previous snapshots - this new feature enables an administrator to very quickly gain access to specific virtual disk point-in-time snapshots to recover files or any other data that was accidentally deleted, corrupted, or otherwise lost. While HC3 users can choose a third-party backup and disaster recovery solutions to use with HC3, many choose the simplicity and efficiency of the built-in features over purchasing additional solutions. This new file-level recovery capability is a great addition to the many backup and disaster recovery features already natively available on HC3, including flexible snapshot scheduling and retention management, replication, failover, failback, full VM recovery, and cloud-based disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). Today I am pleased to announce a new capability available in HC3 version 8.1 software: a way to rapidly access data from snapshots (for uses like file-level recovery and more) by cloning a virtual disk from a VM snapshot while that VM is live.
