Data Publishing

In this article

    Publishing databases allows you to temporarily attach large SQL databases to the target Microsoft SQL server without having to actually restore them.

    Publishing databases typically occurs faster than using standard restore features and might be convenient in certain cases, for example, when your time to perform disaster-recovery operations is limited.

    During publishing, Veeam mounts VMs disks from the backup file to a target machine (under the C:\VeeamFLR directory), retrieves required database files and attaches associated databases directly to your SQL server so that you can perform required operations using Microsoft SQL tools such as Microsoft SQL Management Studio.

    Data Publishing Tip:

    Before publishing data, make sure to read Considerations and Limitations.
