VMware Backup Features
Agentless backup for virtual machines
Backup all your virtual machines running on ESXi hosts and vCenter servers, without any software installation. This ensures no resource overhead in the VM and allows you to backup any VM, irrespective of the OS.
Unlimited ESXi and vCenter backup
Backup unlimited ESXi hosts and vCenter servers with one IDrive BMR device. Manage your backups effectively by adding a vCenter consisting of multiple ESXi hosts, instead of adding each host individually. Supported ESXi server versions: 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5.
Save time with incremental backup
IDrive BMR leverages VMware's Changed Block Tracking (CBT) technology to perform incremental backups. Through this feature, only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup are identified and backed up, thereby enabling faster backups of VMs.
No impact on business operations
Backup of your VMware virtual machines will not cause unnecessary delays or hinder routine work. IDrive BMR’s technology ensures seamless backup and recovery while assuring business continuity at all times.
VMware Recovery Features
Easy VM recovery
Easily restore your backed up virtual machines to the same or a different ESXi host or vCenter server, thereby reducing recovery time objective (RTO) during a data disaster.
Platform independent
IDrive BMR file-level restore, being platform independent, supports all major file systems on the VM. Click here to find out which OS and file systems we support.
Instant local virtualization
Create and run VMs from the backed up data without the need of a separate hypervisor platform. The VM runs locally on the BMR device and it takes less than 15 seconds to bring up a VM, thereby reducing downtime.
Independent recovery points
The recovery points created for a VM during incremental backup are independent of each other. Restore the VM with any available recovery point even if the previous full/incremental image backup in the chain is lost.
Automated verification
IDrive BMR provides automated verification on all backed up VMs at regular intervals to keep you updated on the status of all backup operations. You can also view the storage insights and statistics for informed decision making on future backup requirements.
Failover strategy
Ensure negligible or no impact to your business operations with IDrive BMR, by enabling uninterrupted, efficient secondary backup of VMware clients to the cloud account.
Cloud Replication Features
Secondary repository for VMware data
Securely transfer backups of your VMs running on ESXi hosts and vCenter servers to the IDrive cloud account, thereby creating an alternate repository that stores your data for future use.
Duration of cloud storage
Store your data on the cloud for a time period that you can define and ensure easy access to your data at any point of time.
Seamless cloud replication
BMR VMware backup service ensures quick transfer of your data to the IDrive cloud account using a well-planned, automated approach, helping you avoid the hassle of a complex setup.
Quick data transfer
IDrive BMR supports cloud replication at high speeds and works well even with slow connectivity. You can speed up data transfers and save time with BMR’s high-quality cloud replication.
