Flexible Engine - File and Application Backup user guide

Which elements can FAB protect?



FAB relies on the Commvault technology to deliver the protection service ; however, as part of a public cloud solution, and therefore in order to offer a built-in and widely-used service, FAB cannot expose the Commvault product as is, and has to provide all the possible protection services in the context of such a public solution.


Currently the protection supported by the FAB team is:
