Learn how to use Zerto with Filebase.
Interested in integrating web3 into your disaster recovery strategy? Immutability and Redundancy are inherent to blockchain technology, the easiest and most secure way to completely backup a “golden copy” of your virtualized infrastructure is to use a blockchain-based storage platform. This is why companies like Filebase are revolutionizing how we think about our IT infrastructure, leading the way in its evolution towards decentralization.
In this article, you will learn how to back up a copy of your virtual machines using Filebase and Zerto’s Long-Term Retention capability.
Zerto is a continuous data protection (CDP) software that enables disaster recovery, backup, and workload mobility across virtualized and cloud-native infrastructures.
Read below to learn how to use Zerto with Filebase.
- Have a Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) environment that includes a Windows virtual machine and two vCenter hosts, or use the Zerto Hands On Lab to follow along by provisioning either the Azure or AWS lab environments.
In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how to restore deleted files from a Windows File Server that have been backed up to Filebase. This tutorial uses Zerto’s Journal File Level Restore (JFLR) feature.



- Name: Name for your repository
- Storage Type: S3-Compatible Storage
- Check ‘Set as default repository’
- Region: us-east-1
- Bucket Name: Filebase Bucket Name
- Access Key: Filebase Access Key
- Secret Access Key: Filebase Secret Key


A
repository.config
file is generated in the Filebase bucket.
Then select the VPG you want to protect by selecting the check box associated with the VPG. Select ‘Actions’, then ‘Edit VPG’.


Once you have returned to the VPG management page, select ‘Actions’ then ‘Run Retention Process’ to initiate the creation of a retention set of the virtual machine to be copied to the Filebase repository.


You will now see a copy of all the folders that make up the Windows File Server located in your demo bucket.



Select ‘Restore’ then ‘Search and Restore’.





Once completed, the recovered files will be restored in the indicated directory.
