Simplify and streamline backup infrastructure management even further with new VBA Tools like Health Monitor.

 

 

XenCenter Management Integration:

The XenCenter plug-in included with PHD Virtual Backup provides “single pane of glass” management of virtual machine backup and restore directly from the XenCenter management console. VM backup and restore jobs are easily started with a simple right-click from XenCenter. Job status, history and backup scheduling through the PHD Console can be easily accessed directly from XenCenter.

 

Simple to Deploy & Easy to Use:

Setup is as simple as deploying the virtual backup appliance, configuring the backup target and installing the PHD Virtual Backup plug-in.  Backup and restore job configuration is done through simple and intuitive wizards.

 

TrueDedupe™ Technology:

PHD’s patent pending technology featuring source side data de-duplication and compression. De-duplication and compression occur before data leaves the host reducing network and target storage requirements and increasing the overall speed of processing backup jobs. PHD’s TrueDedupe technology provides an average dedupe ratio up to 25:1 reducing average data storage requirements for backups by more than 90%. 

 

TrueRestore™ Technology:

Provides increased confidence in your ability to restore from backup. Data is checked both during the backup and restore processes ensuring data integrity. Self-healing is provided by automatically detecting and repairing corrupt data blocks.

 

Multiple Data Streams for Fast Backup and Restore:

Multiple concurrent backup and restore streams enable you to meet your backup window, RPO and RTO requirements.  Backup and restore streams are user configurable from 1-4 streams per VBA™.

 

Flexible Backup Storage Options:

Backup virtual machines to locally attached storage or external storage locations via NFS or SMB/CIFS share.

 

Set It and Forget It Job Scheduling:

Backup jobs can be assigned to defined containers (representing hosts, resource pools, folders…).  Any VM in a container or later added to a container will automatically be backed up based on job settings.  For flexibility, specific VM’s in a container can be set to be excluded from backups.

 

Instant File Level Recovery (FLR) Any OS, Any File System

Quickly recover individual files and folders directly from backup storage without the need to restore the entire virtual machine image.

 

Application Object Level Recovery  

Use native tools to quickly restore application objects from any application inclduing SQL and Exchange (database object, mailbox, mail message, etc.) directly from backup storage without interrupting production systems and without requiring additional hardware or virtual labs.

 

Supports Tape Backup Solutions:

Backup Data Connector enables quick and easy integration with tape backup solutions.

 

Backup Retention & Archiving – Meet DR and Retention Policies:

Define and configure flexible retention policies for storing VM backups.  Flexible trim options can automatically remove old backups based on customizable policies.  Archiving provides the ability to mark specific backups for archive to exclude them from being deleted by the retention policy. Archive can be set at the job level for increased flexibility.

 

Export Virtual Machine Backup:

Provides ability to export virtual machines from backup storage in native VHD or RAW format.  Backups may also be exported to VMDK format providing a V2V restore capability.

 

Fault Tolerant Deployment:

Distributed architecture minimizes single point of failure. Multiple VBA’s can be configured to support backup across large environments.
