Performing Application Item Restore

With application item restore, you can use Nutanix AHV backups or snapshots to restore the following data:

  • Microsoft Active Directory objects and containers
  • Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, folders and messages
  • Microsoft SharePoint sites and lists
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Oracle databases

Note

It is recommended that you use application-consistent backups or snapshots for application item restore. You can check whether a backup or snapshot is application-consistent in sessions logs of the job that has produced this backup or snapshot.

To restore application items from a Nutanix AHV VM backup or snapshot, do the following:

  1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Home view.
  2. In the inventory pane, select Backups.
  3. In the working area, expand the necessary backup or snapshot job, select the VM that contains an application you want to restore.
  4. Click Application Items on the ribbon and the select the application.
  5. In the restore wizard, select a restore point that will be used to restore the application, specify a restore reason and click Browse.
  6. In the Veeam Explorer application, perform the steps described in the Veeam Explorers User Guide.

Tip

As an alternative to application item restore, you can also perform file-level restore to recover standalone databases using Veeam Explorers.
