Benefit |
|
Agentless backup of online and offline VMs |
Significantly enhances backup performance, while minimizing the load on target machines and the hypervisor during the process. |
|---|---|
|
Agentless replication of online and offline VMs |
Replication provides the best RTO, as it utilizes clones (replicas) of target machines on a certain ESX datastore. |
|
Agent-based backup of physical machines, other hypervisor clients and fault-tolerant virtual machines |
An agent on each target machine interacts with the backup server and performs backup tasks. |
|
Flexible scheduling mechanism for near CDP |
Protection policies can be scheduled from every few minutes to hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. |
|
Full and incremental backups |
Enables a complete backup cycle for protected images that is optimized for speed and resource efficiency. |
|
Deduplication |
Significantly reduces backup storage footprint. |
