E-mails. Documents. Your sanity. Sure as the sun sets, if they have something, they&#8217;re going to lose it\u2014and turn to you to get it back again.<\/p>\n<p>When you retrieve their lost data, you don&#8217;t want it to be a hassle. Granular restores (retrieving file-level items or smaller) mean you can bring back lost or damaged data with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some different kinds of granular restores that save your business time and money.<\/p>\n<h3>Microsoft Exchange<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Exchange data is some of the most likely to get lost or deleted.<\/strong> E-mails get deleted (accidentally or on purpose), calendar and contact data is lost, or attachments need to be retrieved. Granular restore tools for Exchange help you retrieve this data with a few clicks, without restoring the whole database for a few files (which could take hours).<\/p>\n<p>Considering the frequency this happens, granular restore for exchange is a huge time saver. It&#8217;s especially useful if you can directly inject these items back into a live Exchange Server or to a PST.<\/p>\n<h3>Hyper-V Items<\/h3>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re able to perform a rapid recovery,<\/strong> bringing back a lost or damaged Hyper-V guest is a very quick process. But what if you don&#8217;t want to recover the whole guest, but just a few files? Hyper-V granular restore lets you avoid that sort of overkill, bringing back select data instead of the whole VM.<\/p>\n<h3>SQL Granular<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When your SQL server goes down, you want to make sure you have near-zero downtime and data loss.<\/strong> Granular restores of individual databases\u2014or point-in-time restores to a single tracked transaction\u2014help you easily achieve your Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).<\/p>\n<h3>Granular Restores: The Tool for True Pros<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Managers and users look to you when their data is lost.<\/strong> The single thing they want to know? &#8216;How soon can I get it back?&#8217;. Granular Restores give you the power to bring back lost data in a heartbeat, making yourself look like a true server master when doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it. Most users think what you&#8217;re doing is data magic most of the time anyway. And granular restores aren&#8217;t just helpful; they&#8217;re super easy to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for backup and disaster recovery software that supports Hyper-V, Exchange and SQL granular restores?
