How to do a file-level restore in Rapid Recovery

Hi. This is Chris Randvere, sales engineer for Dell Data Protection, going to walk you through the process of doing a file-level restore with the newly released Rapid Recovery. Within Rapid Recovery, you're going to notice that I have a listing here of protected machines. And I possibly require some data from a request from a user, or management, to be restored. I would simply go to the machine in question. In this case, let me use my SQL machine, here. I've been asked to recover some data from one of my databases. I'll simply go to that SQL machine. Go to the Recovery Points tab. Select a recovery point in time. In this case here, this is incremental forever, so I can go to the most recent recovery point and bring down this drop down menu. And here I'll be presented with a couple of different options. Here I'm going to be able to mount. I could do a one time export of this recovery point. Meaning I might want to export this from a VMware environment over to a Hyper-V environment. I can create a brand new VM with this recovery point. I can do a full on restore where I have a complete outage and data loss, here. And I need to do a restore of a entire volume. I'll select this particular option. And then lastly, I can also force this to do an attachability check to actually assure that that recovery point is valid. And if I do have to failover to it, I can be assured that that data is not going to be corrupted and cause me further damage. In this case here, I'm going to mount this data point. And by selecting that, I'm going to be presented with this really simple wizard here, that's going to walk me through. I'm going to ask for the entire volume set that's been seen by rapid recovery to mount. If you notice here, in the local folder, it defaults to this very long drawn out file path. I simply always delete up to the C volume. And then rename it something a little bit more user friendly. In this case, I'll say mp for Mount Point. I'll give it a numeric number afterwards. Maybe I have multiple recovery points being mounted here. I'm going to select the type of mount that I want. Either Read only, Read with previous rights, or Writeable. I like to always select Writeable. I can, of course, create a share for this mount, but in this case I'm going to present that back to my local desktop. I'm going to get a confirming mounting here. And if you notice the Running Tasks window, there's always going to be something going on with the core. So this case here, my mounting recovery is beginning. I can click on this. I can get granular. I'm going to go to my local drive where I've told this folder to be created. If you remember, that would be in my C volume. And my mp1 folder has been created. And here's my data. Now I can drill down. All the way down into the tables if I would like. And here I can now Drag and Drop. I can Open With a specific application. And now I have manipulation of data. And that is how I can go about getting a file level restore with Rapid Recovery.
