Types of data protected

Data is protected using these backup types:

An asset-level backup protects an asset's file system and operating system. You must install a Unitrends agent on the asset for asset-level protection.
A host-level backup uses hypervisor snapshots to protect virtual machines. You do not need to install a Unitrends agent on hosted VMs.
Application backups capture an application’s structure and data to ensure database consistency. You must install a Unitrends agent on the host server for application protection.
A NAS backup protects data stored on a NAS device. You do not install an agent on the NAS asset.
An iSeries backup protects an asset's file system by leveraging native iSeries backup operations. You do not install an agent on the iSeries asset.
