Universal Recovery
Universal Recovery technology gives you unlimited machine restoration flexibility.
You can restore your backups from physical to virtual, virtual to virtual, virtual to
physical, or physical to physical, and carry out bare metal restores to dissimilar
hardware; for example, P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P, P2C, V2C, C2P, C2V.
It also accelerates cross-platform moves among virtual machines; for instance,
moving from VMware to Hyper-V or Hyper-V to VMware. It builds in application-
level, item-level, and object-level recovery: individual files, folders, email, calendar
items, databases, and applications. With AppAssure 5, you can also recover or export
physical to cloud, or virtual to cloud.

physical disk capacity requirements by offering space reduction ratios exceeding
