TBMR allows users to recover machines directly from native IBM Storage Protect backups.
Simultaneous, controlled recovery of multiple physical and virtual servers.
With secure block based data transfer the migration was completed ahead of schedule.
Minimum downtime achieved to reduce impact on live production process.
QD simulated a full disaster recovery restoration as proof of concept before the live migration.
Expert technical support and advice from Cristie ensured the migration project ran smoothly.
Setra Group, one of Sweden’s largest wood products companies with 8 production sites around Sweden.
Setra turned to Swedish IT provider QD to help with an urgent requirement; to move its entire IT infrastructure within a very tight time schedule. Peter Sudelin, Infrastructure Manager, QD, says, “Setra asked us to migrate a large number of servers without risking the company’s ongoing production process; with minimum downtime.”
The complex and urgent logistics of the project meant QD needed an easy to use, innovative, powerful software solution to migrate all of Setra’s physical and virtual servers. QD selected Cristie Software’s TBMR which allows users to recover machines directly from native backups, including IBM Storage Protect. This is designed to provide rapid automatic machine recovery to an identical state. Furthermore, TBMR is capable of restoring ‘anything to anything’; from similar to dissimilar hardware, from physical to virtual to cloud, in any direction.
Installing TBMR was simple and QD were able to migrate all of Setra’s data to new hardware quickly and securely in a controlled manner. Sudelin comments:
“We knew we had the tools necessary to handle the migration successfully. One could say that we simulated a disaster recovery at Setra’s previous site and restored all data in our own IT environment at the new site. We performed the migration in less time than estimated and finished before the deadline. Setra was aware of the challenges and overwhelmed that everything went so smoothly.”
TBMR is now an integral part of QD’s solution offering and they are using it increasingly in other projects.

Here’s an update on what’s new for the Cristie Virtual Appliance. The 5.3.1 release includes lots of new functionality including Continuous Recovery Assurance for Rubrik VM snapshots.
Cleanroom recovery is becoming essential in the fight against ransomware. By restoring systems in an isolated environment, organizations can validate integrity, eliminate hidden threats, and prevent reinfection. This approach ensures secure, reliable recovery of infrastructure, helping businesses minimise downtime and strengthen cyber resilience after sophisticated cyberattacks.
Modern ransomware targets entire infrastructures, not just data. Traditional backups often fail because they don’t restore operating systems or configurations. This guide explores building a cyber-resilient strategy using automated system recovery and cleanroom environments to bridge the gap between backup and full operational restoration, ensuring rapid recovery after a sophisticated attack.
When cyberattacks cripple critical infrastructure, organizations must rebuild systems quickly and securely. Bare metal recovery enables complete physical system recovery by restoring operating systems, applications, and data from trusted backups. Automated recovery solutions accelerate ransomware system recovery, reduce downtime, and help organizations restore operations rapidly after major cyber incidents worldwide.
