Virtualization has become more and more mainstream in today’s small business community, making a best-in-class backup and recovery solution for virtualized environments a necessity.
Because virtual environments are hosted on physical hardware, the same data loss issues– fire, theft, natural disaster, human error, etc., affect them. If the physical hardware suffers a catastrophe, Retrospect can help you to quickly and easily recover your all of your data -- virtual environments included -- and reduce the costly negative impact to your day-to-day business operations.
In this article, we discuss Retrospect’s ability to protect both VMware and Hyper-V virtualized environments.
Retrospect delivers the same reliable and automated “set and forget” file-level data protection to virtual machines that it has been providing to physical machines for 25 years. For virtual environments ranging from Windows XP to 8, Server 2003 to 2012, hosted by VMware or Hyper-V, Retrospect utilizes its Client software to protect VMs with no extra cost or added complexity. By simply adding the client to the virtual machines, you can take advantage of all major Retrospect file-level features on virtual and physical machines alike, seamlessly backing up and restoring as easily as ever.
Leveraging its proven and rich foundation as a flexible yet efficient cross platform solution for physical machines, Retrospect supports virtual machine data protection with the same key features:
