Support for NetBackup Instant Access to recover a resiliency group

Veritas Resiliency Platform 3.4 supports the NetBackup Instant Access feature that supports faster access to data from the backup. When creating or editing a Resiliency Group, you can choose to use the NetBackup Instant Access feature to rehearse and restore assets that are part of the resiliency group.

Using the NetBackup Instant Access feature for rehearsal or recovery of assets provides the following benefits:

  • Significant reduction in the recovery time objective during rehearsal

  • Zero storage overhead storage usage for test workload instances

  • Ability to achieve almost instant startup of test workload instances
