Restoring Application Items

Veeam Backup & Replication provides auxiliary tools called Veeam Explorers that allow you to restore application items directly from image-level backups of Amazon EC2 instances.

You can restore items of the following applications:

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

To restore application items from backups of EC2 instances:

Launch the restore wizard. To do that, open the Home view. In the inventory pane, navigate to Backups > External Repository. In the working area, select the necessary backup of an EC2 instance, click Application Items on the ribbon and select the necessary application.
Complete the restore wizard. To extract the application databases from the backup and open it in the Veeam Explorer, perform the following steps:

At the Restore Point step of the wizard, select a restore point from which you want to restore application items.
At the Reason step of the wizard, enter the information on the restore reason for future reference.
At the Summary step of the wizard, review the information on the EC2 instance whose application items you want to restore.

Veeam Backup & Replication will open the Veeam Explorer console to select the application that will allow you to restore application items from the selected backup or snapshot.

Important

Mind the following:

To be able to restore application items in the Veeam Explorer console, you must manually attach the database that you want to restore. For details on working with Veeam Explorers, see Veeam Explorers User Guide.
The backup from which you want to restore must be application consistent. For details and requirements of the application-consistent backups, see the Application-Aware Processing section in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide.
