IDrive offers the most cost-effective, high-performing BMR functionality with onsite disk image backup
Store entire data of hard disks, including the operating system (OS) and application configurations in an onsite device, and retrieve them in case of catastrophic failure. In addition to local backup, IDrive offers cloud replication which allows you to transfer backups stored on your device to your cloud account for a better disaster recovery plan. Also, lets you maintain a ready-to-use, bare metal restore (BMR) capability with each image-based backup. You can also securely backup all your virtual machine data running on ESXi hosts and vCenter servers to the BMR device and retrieve them during any data loss.
Protect against ransomware!
Encryption-based ransomware is getting sophisticated and may not be detected by anti-malware software in time. Once infected, you will be locked out from your own data and there is still no guarantee you can retrieve your data even after paying the ransom! Take advantage of IDrive® BMR's snapshot backup — a robust backup solution that allows you to restore a version of data prior to infection.
Best defense against ransomware; powered with
Intel® NUC hardware and robust software.

– |
|
Hardware specification |
(Best-in-class solution with enterprise-grade processor and server-grade hardware configuration) |
(Limited) |
|
Backup unlimited computers, ESXi hosts and vCenter servers |
(No licensing per computer / VM backup) |
(License-based plans allow you to backup only limited computers; each VM added for backup from VMware server is charged) |
|
Deduplication# |
(Up to 30% higher storage efficiency with block-level deduplication) |
(Does not use deduplication for storage) |
|
VMware backup |
(Unrestricted backup of VMs, irrespective of OS, file system, and disk type) |
(Doesn't support agentless backup for spanned volumes, ESXi shared volumes, ReFS file systems, and so on) |
|
Virtualization platform |
(BMR has an ability to upload OS recovery ISO, which can be used to boot up the VM and fix boot issues) |
(Doesn't support upload of recovery ISO to resolve VM boot issues) |
|
WinRE recovery |
(Perform WinRE restore with a variety of tools, which are reliable and faster than linux-based restore) |
(You can only perform Linux-based ISO restore) |
|

(Offers the best of all worlds in terms of hardware specification, cloud storage, and unlimited licenses at a competitive price) |
(Costs higher for limited licenses, storage, and hardware) |
Here's what our BMR partners say:
-
"We manage dental offices in San Diego and rely on the IDrive BMR to backup and protect my clients from ransomware. I have had to rely on their virtualization and recovery several times over the last three years have been successful every time. One client was attacked by ransomware and we were able to recover all data from the backup, while running on the virtual machine.
We have used other BMR solutions and find the IDrive BMR the most reliable and cost effective solution on the market."
Marshal Smith, President, Dental Technology Inc. -
"I have installed four units in the last two months and we are very happy with the product."
Gery Abay, The Abay Group LLC -
"The IDrive BMR service has been outstanding. The prices are hard to beat, the appliances have been very reliable & easy to setup, and the IDrive customer support has been top-notch & rarely needed. I highly recommend the service to anyone in the market for a Bare Metal Recovery disaster solution."
