NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery is designed to provide flexible data restoration options. To meet the customer's requirement for restoring "entire logical sets of data," the service offers volume restore, which recovers a complete data volume from a backup copy in object storage. For the "more granular level" requirement, BlueXP backup and recovery provides a search and restore capability that allows users to browse backups and restore individual files or directories without needing to restore the entire volume. These two capabilities directly address the customer's needs for both large-scale and fine-grained data recovery.

A. object: While backups are stored as objects in the cloud, "object restore" is not a user-facing restore granularity for file system data within this service.

C. aggregate: An aggregate is a physical storage container for volumes. You restore logical volumes, not the entire physical aggregate, using BlueXP backup and recovery.

D. SVM: While you can protect all volumes within an SVM, the fundamental unit of restore in BlueXP backup and recovery is the volume, not the entire SVM configuration.
