Performing Application Restore

Important

Application restore can be performed only using backup files stored in standard repositories for which you have specified one-time access keys of an IAM user whose permissions are used to access the repository. To learn how to specify credentials for repositories, see sections Creating New Repositories and Connecting to Existing Appliances.

Veeam Backup & Replication provides auxiliary tools — Veeam Explorers — that allow you to restore application items directly from image-level backups of EC2 instances. For more information on Veeam Explorers, see the Veeam Explorers User Guide.

You can restore items of the following applications:

Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft Exchange
Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle Database

To perform application restore, do the following:

In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Home view.
Navigate to Backups > External Repository.
Expand the backup policy that protects an EC2 instance whose application item you want to restore, select the necessary instance and click Application Items on the ribbon. Then, select the necessary application.
In the restore wizard, select a backup that will be used to restore the application, specify a restore reason and click Browse.
In the Veeam Explorer application, perform the steps described in the Veeam Explorers User Guide.

Important

The selected backup must be transactionally consistent. To learn how to create transactionally consistent backups, see the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide, section Creating EC2 Backup Policies.
