 Virtual Machine Export. Creates a virtual machine (VM) from a recovery point,
containing all of the data from the backup of the protected machine, as well the
operating system and drivers and associated data to ensure the VM is bootable.
 Rollback. Restores backup information to a protected machine.
NOTE: The entire volume is always rewritten during rollback of Windows systems
using EFI system partitions.
Data transfer in AppAssure 5 involves the transmission of a volume of data along a
network from AppAssure 5 Agent machines to the Core. In the case of replication,
transfer also occurs from the originating or source Core to the target Core.
Data transfer can be optimized for your system through certain performance option
settings. These settings control data bandwidth usage during the process of backing
up agent machines, performing VM export, or performing a rollback. These are some
factors that affect data transfer performance:
 Number of concurrent agent data transfers
 Number of concurrent data streams
 Amount of data change on disk
 Available network bandwidth
 Repository disk subsystem performance
 Amount of memory available for data buffering
You can adjust the performance options to best support your business needs and
fine-tune the performance based on your environment.
