Do you have mission critical production VMs which can afford little downtime? CloudBacko has newly developed the VM Run Direct feature that enables you to minimize the downtime of your mission critial VM to minutes. Now, you can recover a VM instantly from its backup without the need to restore the backed up image into the original VMware ESXi host first. CloudBacko can start the VM directly from its backup, and makes it accessible to users on the target VMware ESXi VM host right away. See how it works in this video:
Need a fast and convenient way to retrieve your desired files on guest VMs? CloudBacko's Granular Restore feature enables you to access and restore individual files within a backed up VM image without the need to spin-up or fully restore the VM first. It helps you greatly reduce backup time, storage resources and management effort for redundant backups.
To avoid disastrous data loss, the best practice is to keep at least 3 copies of your data:
When backing up your guest VMs to offsite location, since it is not your own environment, make sure to enable encryption to prevent somebody from stealing your data. With CloudBacko, no lazy encrypting keys such as "abc123" or "123456" will be used. It provides unbreakable encryption to your SQL backup, as all the data and filenames can be encrypted with an AES 256-bit truly randomized key. Even a 10.51 Pentaflops supercomputer needs 3.31 x 1056 years to crack such key. Even hackers will not be able to access your backed up VMs on the cloud.
When your mission critical guest VM is down, you don't want to restore to a backup that was manually taken a year ago. Therefore, you need a solution that can run automatically once or several times a day by itself based on your pre-configured schedule, so that you can restore to the latest version when needed. CloudBacko allows you to define your own schedules to run your VMware guest VMs backup (e.g. after work everyday).
Backing up large guest virtual machines to offsite can be problematic. CloudBacko has VMware's Changed Block Tracking (CBT) technology integrated that can offer you fast guest VM backup to local and offsite destinations.

Restore VM to raw files in VMDK format |
It's always good to keep mulitple previous versions of your Windows System backup, so that when you realize it's not the latest backup you want to restore to, you can still choose an earlier version to restore. With CloudBacko's powerful retention policy setup, it is simple and flexible to define various versioning rules to suit your version retention needs.
With CloudBacko's reporting tool, you can get clear visibility into the backup details of all destinations, including usage trend, backup and restore reports, log for warnings and errors, etc.
