Restore virtual machines with BMR VMware backup
August 13, 2018A good data recovery plan is vital for ensuring business continuity and quick disaster recovery. With this in mind, IDrive® BMR offers versatile backup and recovery solutions to help you secure your data as per your business requirements. If you want to backup entire virtual machines running on ESXi and vCenter, IDrive BMR offers a suitable solution. But what about protecting your VMware data on your virtual machines? IDrive BMR attends to this requirement as well with its all-new VMware Backup feature.
The entire process is simple and automated. First, you need to add the ESXi host or vCenter server to the BMR server. Next, schedule a backup or perform an immediate backup of the virtual machine. And you’re done!
Enable quick availability of your VMware data. Virtualize and restore faster!
The BMR virtualization feature lets you create virtual instances of your physical clients and VMware machines without the need for any additional hardware. You can use the incremental backup feature to backup latest updates to files and computers.
Why backup VMs?
This feature is very useful in the event of a system failure. With a backup of the virtual machine that has crashed, you can access the machine in its earlier working condition effortlessly! The time-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the BMR VMware backup feature make it immensely valuable to your business continuity plan.
