Restore and Recover Virtual Machines › Application Level Restores

Application Level Restores

CA ARCserve Central Applications let you protect and recover data, but also help you get applications that use that data back up and running. Application Level Restores use the Browse Recovery Points restore method. During the application level restore process, you can recover Microsoft Exchange or SQL Servers without having to perform a full disaster recovery.

Before you begin the application level restore process, you may need to perform the following tasks:

• Provision a new virtual machine with a Windows Guest OS
• Install CA ARCserve D2D in the Guest OS.
• For Exchange Server application restore operations:
  • Verify that the account has Exchange Full Administrator role privileges for Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Organization Administrator or Server Administrator role privileges for Exchange Server 2007/2010.
  • When you are restoring Exchange Server 2007 databases to Recovery Storage Groups, create the Recovery Storage Groups on the protected server. Similarly, when you are restoring Exchange Server 2010 databases to Recovery Databases, create the Recovery Databases on the protected server.
  • Review the complete Application Level Restore procedure provided in the CA ARCserve D2D User Guide and excerpted in CA ARCserve D2D Procedures.
