 * **Recovery Services Vault**: All backups are streamed directly to the Azure Backup managed recovery services vault that provides security capabilities like Immutability, Soft Delete and Multiuser Auth. The vaulted backup data is stored in Microsoft-managed Azure subscription and is isolated from customer’s environment. These features ensure that the SAP ASE backup data is always secure and tamper-proof. You can also recover the data safely even when the source machines are compromised. 
 * **Multiple Database Restore options**: Support of Alternate Location Restore (System refresh), Original Location Restore, and Restore as Files.
