VM Backup : Virtual Machine Backup and Replication Solution

VM Backup is a backup and replication solution for virtual machines (VMs) designed for virtualised environments such as Microsoft Hyper‑V, VMware (including vSphere/ESXi) and Proxmox. It provides a set of tools to protect VMs from data loss, speed up recoveries, and ensure business continuity in the event of an incident, while remaining simple to deploy and manage.

This solution is intended for IT administrators, MSPs (Managed Service Providers), consultants, and IT departments of all sizes who need a high-performance, flexible, and easy-to-manage VM backup with local, offsite, and cloud options.

What are the main features of VM Backup?

Full virtual machine backup

VM Backup enables full backup of virtual machines in live mode, without interrupting active services, which minimises infrastructure impact and ensures support for Hyper‑V, VMware, and Proxmox environments. It supports recent versions of these platforms to provide broad protection adapted to modern virtual architectures.

• Automated or scheduled backups without VM downtime
• Support for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI infrastructure
• Granular restore options (individual files, full VMs)

Offsite replication and protection

In addition to local backups, VM Backup includes replication features to remote servers or cloud storage (such as Azure, Amazon S3, or Wasabi). These capabilities support a 3‑2‑1‑1 backup strategy, reducing risks associated with onsite incidents.

• Replication to remote servers via LAN/WAN
• Integration with cloud storage for immutable copies
• Backup location management from a central console

Flexible and fast recovery

VM Backup facilitates recovery with clear and intuitive options, including the ability to clone a VM from a backup for testing or rapid replacement.

• Step-by-step recovery wizard
• Instant boot from backup
• Restore of specific files or content

Storage optimisation and performance

The solution includes optimisation mechanisms such as inline deduplication and data compression, which reduce required storage volume and speed up backup processing.

• Inline deduplication to reduce storage usage
• Backup compression for more efficient storage
• Minimised network bandwidth consumption

Centralised management console

VM Backup offers a centralised management interface to monitor and administer all hosts and backup tasks, even at large scale—particularly useful for IT teams and MSPs.

• Unified dashboard for all VMs
• Multi-site and multi-tenant support
• Monitoring tools and status reports

Why choose VM Backup?

• Proven reliability: ensures fast restoration of critical VM environments and consistent backup data.
• Ease of use: intuitive interface with configuration wizards for simplified management.
• Advanced threat protection: supports immutable storage to counter ransomware threats.
• Cross-platform support: compatible with major hypervisors (Hyper‑V, VMware, Proxmox).
• Resource optimisation: reduced storage load through deduplication and compression.
