# Overview

#### With Xopero ONE, you can protect multiple components of your infrastructure, including workstations and servers.

***

## Backup & recovery

To protect your workstations and servers, you can use one of three main types of backups:

1. **File-level** — saves individual files and directories.
2. **Image-level** — protects the entire physical disk.
3. **Databases** — backs up your databases.

Similarly to backup types, **Xopero ONE** offers three methods to restore your data:

1. **File-level backup** — allows you to restore files directly from your storage. It can also be used to restore databases protected with **file-level backup**.
2. **Image-level backup** — enables restoring an entire disk, individual files from the backup, or the disk as an image file. You can also use **BMR** (**bare-metal recovery**) technology to recover data, allowing restoration between physical devices.
3. **Database recovery** — includes methods for restoring previously backed-up databases.

## Good practices

1. Test the **Xopero ONE** system to determine when backups are performed and choose the best backup schedule. For example, you can schedule backups to run after working hours and enable automatic device shutdown after the backup in the plan settings.
2. The backup process typically uses the **VSS** service and device resources. To reduce resource usage, you don’t need to create multiple backup plans for different storages — instead, you can create a replication plan to copy data to another storage.
