recovery granularity

The smallest object that you can restore with the backup solution is a Microsoft SQL Server database (content database), which may contain data of multiple web sites. In contrast, the smallest object that you can recover with HP Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension is an individual web site item, for example: a Calendar item, a Calendar, a Tasks item, a Team Discussion item, a document, a shared document, a folder, a list, a library, an announcement, a form, a reporting template, an object's meta data, and a document workflow.
