System Recovery Agent for Dell Avamar®

Extend Dell Avamar with Complete System Recovery

Turn Existing Avamar Backups into Recoverable Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris Systems

Recover complete systems using the Dell Avamar backups you already maintain. Cristie ABMR captures the recovery-critical configuration needed to reconstruct operating systems, applications, storage, network configuration and protected data following system loss or infrastructure failure.

Dell Avamar with Cristie System Recovery Agent (ABMR) brings protected backup data and complete system reconstruction together in a single recovery strategy.

Why Cristie System Recovery Agent (ABMR) for Dell Avamar?

Dell Avamar protects critical backup data. Cristie ABMR adds the system intelligence and recovery technology required to reconstruct the machines that use it.

  • Recover Complete Systems from Avamar

    Rebuild Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris systems using existing Avamar backups together with the recovery-critical system configuration captured by ABMR.

  • Move Recovery Beyond the Original Machine

    Restore protected systems when the original server is damaged or unavailable, with platform-specific capabilities for adapting recovery to alternative infrastructure and changed hardware.

  • Reshape the System During Recovery

    Adapt storage, disks, networking and hardware configuration to suit the available recovery environment instead of being restricted to an exact reproduction of the original machine.

  • Return to an Earlier Recovery Point

    Choose an appropriate Avamar backup or recovery point when rebuilding a protected system, helping administrators return the machine to the required state rather than simply restoring the latest available data.

  • Strengthen Recovery Preparedness

    Combine ABMR with Cristie Recovery Hub to centralise recovery management, automate recovery workflows and regularly validate the recoverability of protected systems.

ABMR extends the value of Avamar beyond protected data, providing the technology and system information needed to rebuild complete operating environments.

Use ABMR independently for system recovery from Dell Avamar, or add Cristie Recovery Hub to coordinate, automate and manage recovery across larger and more complex environments.

Reconstruct Complete Systems
from Dell Avamar Backups

Avamar protects the backup data. ABMR records the additional system information required to rebuild the machine around it.

Before backup, ABMR captures recovery-critical information about the protected system. That configuration is protected with the subsequent Avamar backup so it can be retrieved when disaster recovery is required.

Keeping this information current helps ensure that changes to disks, filesystems, networking and other system components are reflected in the configuration available during recovery.

When recovery begins, ABMR combines the saved system configuration with the selected Avamar backup to recreate the target environment, restore the protected data and prepare the recovered operating system to boot.

Dell Avamar preserves your protected data. Cristie ABMR provides the system recovery process that turns it back into an operational machine.

The Enterprise Guide to Cyber Recovery and Infrastructure Resilience

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.
