Hot Image Backup and Restore for Both Virtual and Physical Machines

Today, thousands of virtual machines support critical business applications.  These virtualized environments require solid backup and recovery strategies, or companies run the risk of weeks of downtime and lost revenues.  However, most current backup processes are less than ideal. Powering down virtual machines for backups incurs downtime, while placing agents within each virtual machine for hot backups can become very expensive and hard to maintain.  To save time, many companies rely solely on partial file-level backups.  Until vRanger Pro, backup-and-recovery strategies for virtual machines were incomplete, hard to manage and costly.

Support Disaster Recovery and Reduce Downtime

vRanger Pro is the recognized industry-standard backup and restore solution for virtualized environments.  Administrators can schedule regular image-level backups of virtual or physical machines—while the machine is still running.  Images can be stored either locally in the SAN or sent as compressed files over a WAN to remote locations to support disaster recovery strategies.  vRanger Pro also enables restore of individual files efficiently with an explorer tree through which users can easily identify and "grab" needed files.  With an easy-to-use graphical interface, startup wizards, and VirtualCenter integration, vRanger Pro makes business continuity accessible to every level administrator.  vRanger Pro also leverages the advanced technology of vConverter to provide image-level backups of Windows-based physical servers without agents and without disrupting the source machine.
