Scenario: your server got hit by ransomware. But your local backup is intact. You have successfully got your backup running via VM Instant Boot, but you need a more permanent recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s where you can use BackupAssist ER\u2019s Lifeline Media to boot into a recovery environment and reimage your machine\u2019s hard disks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this type of recovery you can take a physical or virtual source machine (the one that was backed up), and restore it to a physical or virtual destination (the recovery machine). In industry jargon, that\u2019s known as having P2P, P2V, V2P and V2V recovery options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
