Data Restore Performance

Because ExaGrid’s appliance allows each full backup to first land on the disk-cache Landing Zone before

deduplication, the system maintains the most recent backup in its full, undeduplicated form for fast restores,

Instant VM recoveries in seconds to minutes, and fast offsite tape copies. Since over 90% of restores and 100%

of instant VM recoveries and tape copies are done from the most recent backup, this approach avoids the

overhead incurred from “rehydrating” data during critical restores. As a result, restore, recovery, and copy times

from an ExaGrid system are an order of magnitude faster than solutions that only store deduplicated data.
