StorSimple cloud snapshots protect the data that resides in StorSimple device. This is equivalent to shipping tapes to an offsite facility and if using Azure geo-redundant storage (GRS), as shipping tapes to multiple sites. If a device restore was needed in a disaster, you could bring another StorSimple device online and do a failover. Following the failover, you would be able to access the data (at cloud speeds) from the most recent cloud snapshot.

Veeam enables fast granular file-level recovery through StorSimple using the built-in Explorers in the Veeam console. Use the Veeam Explorers to recover individual items such as email messages, Active Directory objects, or SharePoint items from the backups. The recovery can be done without on-premises VM disruption. You can also accomplish the point-in-time recovery for Microsoft SQL and Oracle Databases. Veeam and StorSimple make the process of item level recovery from Azure both fast and easy. For information on how to perform a restore, refer to Veeam documentation.
