Main Features
  • VM-level, Container-level backup and recovery
  • Storage Provider (file system & Ceph RBD) backup & recovery
  • Full and Incremental backups (with native CBT, CRT where available)
  • VM data is exported in native (hypervisor-specific) format
  • Backup only selected VM disk option
  • Deployment protection (PVs and deployment metadata) for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments
  • Support for a wide range of virtual platforms, containers and cloud such as:
    • VMware vSphere
    • Microsoft Hyper-V
    • Red Hat Virtualization
    • oVirt
    • Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager
    • Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)
    • HPE SimpliVity
    • Citrix Hypervisor (XenServer)
    • XCP-ng
    • Proxmox VE

    • OpenStack
    • libvirt hypervisors (KVM, PowerKVM, KVM for IBM z, Xen)
    • Kubernetes
    • Red Hat OpenShift
    • AWS EC2
  • Pre/post snapshot remote command execution on VM to enable operations such as DB quiesce
  • Pre/post backup destination access command execution to allow mount/unmount operations on external storage providers
  • Prioritized backup policies
  • VM automatic policy assignment based on regular expressions and tags
  • Snapshot Management (Copy Data Management)
  • Snapshot consistent technology (quiesced snapshots)
  • File-level restore using mountable backups
  • 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, or on a scheduled basis for testing
  • Generic application backup with your custom scripts with ready templates for commonly used databases
  • OpenStack and KVM stand-alone with Ceph RBD storage support
  • Multi-node support for better scalability or geographically dispersed environments
  • Built-in vProtect DB backup
  • Data encryption for file system backup destination
  • LDAP authentication
  • Integration with different backup destinations such as:
    • Any mounted file-system (local or remote, especially GlusterFS for replication, CephFS, NFS, SMB and many more)
    • Dell EMC Data Domain (BoostFS integration)
    • Amazon S3 (with Amazon Glacier as a 2nd tier archive storage),
    • S3-compliant storage (IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Scality RING)
    • Google Cloud Storage
    • Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
    • OpenStack Swift
    • IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM)
