This release of NetBackup includes the following enhancements for protecting in-cloud assets using NetBackup and CloudPoint (version 2.2 or later) integration:

• You can take application consistent (point-in-time) snapshots of the applications that are deployed on virtual machines in cloud. This enhancement also lets you perform point-in-time rollback restores of applications. For supported applications, see the NetBackup Master Compatibility Lists.

• If CloudPoint (Snapshot Management Server in NetBackup) is deployed in AWS Cloud, then you can configure AWS plug-ins using AWS IAM Role

• You can perform a rollback recovery of cloud assets. The rollback recovery of a cloud asset overwrites the existing data on the original asset. Unlike original or alternate location restore, a new copy is not created of the restored image, but the existing data on the source is replaced

• You can choose to replicate snapshots of cloud assets from the primary location to a remote or a secondary location. This capability is available only for AWS Cloud assets. The snapshot management servers (CloudPoint) support cross-region and cross-account replication in AWS
