Recovery operations

NOTE  Recovery Operations is in Tech Preview, providing early access to an upcoming feature.

Use Recovery Operations to see the real-time status of your restores.

This improved visibility gives you clear status during critical recoveries which helps you track progress, estimate time of completion, set accurate expectations with stakeholders, and make better decisions.

To view Recovery Operations, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to UniView (login.backup.net).
  2. Click Recovery Operations from the left navigation menu as shown.
