| - | | **Restore of Entire Guest VM Not Required**\\ Compared to a traditional restore where you have to restore the entire guest VM first, before you can access any individual files/folders, granular restore allows you to view and download individual files, without having to restore the entire guest VM first.\\ \\ **Ability to Restore Selected Files**\\ In some cases, you may only need to restore a few individual file(s) from the guest VM, therefore, granular restore gives you a fast, convenient, and flexible tool to restore selected file(s) from a guest VM quickly.\\ \\ **Only One Backup Set Required**\\ With traditional restore methods, if you wish to restore individual file(s) from a guest VM, you will have to create two different backup sets; a VMware guest VM backup set and a separate file backup set for the file(s) you wish to restore. You will require an additional AhsayOBM installation on the guest VM environment, with Granular Restore feature, only one backup set is required.\\ * Fewer CAL (Client Access License) required - you will only need one AhsayOBM CAL to perform guest VM, Run Direct, and Granular restore. \\ * Less storage space required - as you only need to provision storage for one backup set.\\ * Less backup time required - As only one backup job needs to run. \\ * Less time spent on administration - As there are fewer backup sets to maintain. | **No Encryption and Compression**\\ To ensure optimal restore performance, the backup of the guest VM will NOT be encrypted and compressed, therefore, you may have to take this factor in consideration when using this restore method. | | + | | **Backup with Compression and Encryption**\\ Guest VM is encrypted and compressed, therefore is in smaller file size, and encrypted before being uploaded to the backup destination. | **Slower recovery**\\ As the entire guest VM has to be restored before you can access any of its file(s) or data, the restore time could be long if the guest VM size is large.\\ \\ **Two Backup Sets and CALs Required**\\ If you only wish to restore individual files from VM, two separate backup sets are required, one for the VM image and the other for the individual files, and therefore two CAL (client access licenses) are required. | |
