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.
Cristie TBMR System Recovery for IBM protects your critical servers by recovering them directly from your IBM Storage Protect backups.
TBMR System Recovery for IBM Storage Protect provides powerful features to remove complexity and manual intervention from your recovery workflow. Continuous recovery assurance can be enabled to ensure your disaster recovery plan will work when you need it most.
With our unique dissimilar environment technology, you can recover to any physical, virtual or cloud target with automatic boot critical driver insertion. TBMR extends Storage Protect backups so that operating systems, applications, user configurations and data can be recovered to any point in time provided by Storage Protect.
Adding TBMR to your Storage Protect environment allows recovery of operating systems, applications, user configuration and data to any point in time available in your IBM backup software. With our Continuous Recovery Assurance you can automatically test the recoverability of every backup to verify that your recovery procedures will work when you need them most, and all without having to rely on manual intervention.
TBMR provides DR automation and orchestration capabilities plus the ability to recover systems within a Clean Room environment to validate recovery processes and RTO objectives.Â
TBMR is powerful, easy-to-use software that integrates with IBM Storage Protect. It is designed to provide fast, automatic machine recovery to an identical state following any outage scenario or cyberattack.
TBMR uses IBM Storage Protect backups for disaster recovery with the ability to recovery multiple systems simultaneously. Systems are recovered directly from the IBM Storage Protect server without the need to perform a separate backup.
System recovery simulations can also be scheduled with detailed reporting highlighting any problems encountered, plus an audit track of successful results. With TMBR as an extension to your IBM Storage Protect environment you can be sure that your systems can be recovery successfully when they are needed most.

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.
