Cristie VA 5.3.1 What’s New
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.
CloneManager System Replication provides continuous replication for your entire estate, from Legacy systems on physical machines through to Virtual & Cloud environments​.
Fully automated with periodic syncs between the source and target systems based on RPO requirements. Only changed data will be copied.
Clone directly to a virtual disk image files in AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud or S3 blob storage removing the overhead of a running virtual or physical machine.
Block based replication can significantly lower your RPOs when compared to file based replication.
Create a sandbox test environment even on physical systems without interrupting continuous replication.
Source systems may be monitored with automatic failover when any outage is detected with automatic DNS changes if required.
Determine if you can meet your RPOs with CloneManager RPO monitoring and reporting. Receive email reports for replications that fall outside of your target RPOs.

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.
