Single Click Recovery to improve SecureFS recovery mechanism

The secure file system (SecureFS) feature helps protect your data against ransomware attacks and accidental deletions through the use of snapshots and non-modifiable checkpoints. In case of a data loss event, you can use these storage checkpoints to perform data recovery using the SecureFS snapshots.

In this release, the SecureFS snapshot recovery process is enhanced to be more efficient and user-friendly. Termed as “Single Click Recovery”, the process focuses on ease of use and improving the recovery time objective (RTO) in SecureFS environments.

Key highlights:

  • Automated validation checks for storage space requirements and application status.
  • Support for metadata recovery thereby preserving file ownership, permissions, and timestamps.
  • Cluster Server (VCS) awareness that allows recovery to continue on other nodes if the primary node fails.
  • Parallel recovery across multiple file systems to improve RTO.
  • Persistent logging and comprehensive error reporting of the recovery process.
  • Support for performing recovery from the InfoScale Operations Manager GUI.
