Why This Matters
The majority of organizations believe mission-critical data is at risk. In fact, ESG has found that more than
50% of organizations surveyed worry that their backup schedules leave some data exposed to potential
loss.

The survey also reported that the two application categories with the greatest data protection
challenges are databases (46%) and e-mail/messaging (41%). The Dell PowerVault DL2000 Powered by
CommVault is specifically designed to protect these and other mission critical applications.
With CommVault‘s single step object-level recovery, ESG Lab was able to use the DL2000 to recover a
message deleted
from a user‘s Inbox, restore a folder from a SharePoint installation, and restore users‘
Active Directory attributes from single-pass, full database backups. Since CommVault‘s simple search
capability spans applications, searching for and selecting individual files, application items, and database
objects for restoration was fast and easy
. CommVault‘s ability to restore only what needed to be recovered
from single-pass database level backups is very powerful, yet still fast and easy to perform.
