Restore Options

Below is a list of each cloud restore option available in the Recovery Launchpad.

NOTE  Not all restore methods will be available on all systems.

  • File Restore:Create a SFTP file restore hosted from the datto cloud, mounting all volumes included in the backup as an accessible folder. For more information on creating or connecting to an offsite file restore, refer to: File restore.
  • Virtualization: Create a virtual machine (VM) of your protected system in the Datto Cloud to provide business continuity in the event of a disaster. Refer to Performing Cloud and Hybrid virtualizations for information on virtualization and networking options.
  • Image Export: Create an export of the cloud hosted recovery point, with each volume hosted as a VHD, VHDX, or VMDK, virtual hard disk. A cloud virtualization can also be converted to an Image Export once it is no longer needed as a virtualization. Refer to Image Exports for details.

For assistance with any of these restore methods, contact Datto Technical Support.

Considerations

  • Recovery Launchpad is not available for devices with a SIRIS Private billing plan. All restores must be performed using local restore options via the device UI.
