Recovery

  • File-level restore using mountable backups
    • directly via web browser
    • transfer to the remote host over SSH and WinRM
  • Mounted backups - RAW disks shareable over iSCSI (for direct block-access to your backup data)
  • Recovery plans for automated DR
    • on-demand restore of multiple VMs when needed
    • scheduled basis for testing
  • Customizable networking and disk layout during restore
  • Hyper-V instant restore
  • oVirt/RHV/OLVM instant restore
  • Individual disk recovery

Backup storage

  • Integration with different backup destinations:
    • File-based:
      • Synthetic backup provider using XFS, NFS 4.2 or Dell Data Domain Virtual Synthetic Full (DD Boost API)
      • Any mounted file system (local or remote, especially GlusterFS for replication, CephFS, NFS, SMB, and many more)
      • Dell EMC Data Domain (BoostFS integration)
      • Rubrik Managed Volumes
      • Catalogic vStor
