Enable quick, simple and complete data protection for your virtual machines with VMware vCenter Data Recovery, a disk-based backup and recovery solution. Many backup products are focused on physical workloads or require a lot of work to configure for your virtual environment. VMware vCenter Data Recovery is your first line of defense for protecting your virtual environment. It’s fully integrated with VMware vCenter Server to enable centralized and efficient management of backup jobs and also includes data de-duplication to save on disk storage for your backups.
Fast Backup and Recovery of Your Virtual Machines
Many backup products write their data to tape, which is great for long-term archiving but it’s often difficult and time-consuming to restore your data. VMware vCenter Data Recovery protects against data loss in your virtual environment by enabling fast backups to disk and, more importantly, fast and complete recovery.
- Disk-based backup and recovery to enable speedy restoration of your VMs
- Easy to deploy, since VMware vCenter Data Recovery is a virtual machine that runs on VMware ESX hosts
- Restore individual files or entire images as needed
Simple Configuration and Management of Backup Jobs
VMware vCenter Data Recovery provides a centralized management interface to enable backup and recovery of your VMs directly through VMware vCenter Server.
- The entire inventory of VMs are automatically identified through VMware vCenter Server
- Uses an intuitive wizard driven workflow to create, configure and schedule backup jobs
- Multiple restore points for each VM are displayed to easily select a specific point in time copy to restore
- Automatically monitors VMs that are moved by VMware HA, VMware VMotion and VMware DRS, so scheduled backups continue uninterrupted
Cost-Effective Backup Storage
VMware vCenter Data Recovery utilizes built in data de-duplication technology to save significant disk space. The technology eliminates duplicate storage blocks as your backup data is streamed to disk.
- Maintain multiple point in time copies of VMs but only use a fraction of the storage
- De-duplication operation occurs as the VM backup is stored to disk to efficiently utilize the backup window and available resources
