About Instant Recovery: Fast File Resync (Windows clients only)

If the Instant Recovery snapshot was made on Windows with VxVM or FlashSnap, large files that have had many changes since the backup can be recovered more quickly by means of Fast File Resync. (Fast File Resync is a type of file promotion.) Only the blocks that have changed are moved from the snapshot to the client's primary fileset.
