Bacula Systems’ VMware backup solutions are used to perform backups and especially fast data recovery of your VMware ESXi hosts using vSphere with Bacula Enterprise Edition.
Our VMware backup software also provides fast ESXi virtual machine bare metal recovery and especially quick Single File Restore which is reducing the time of re-installation and recovery of the virtualization host in case of any failure.
This VMware backup tool also enables users to backup VMware ESXi at guest level. It can work either over a SAN or via Network Block Device. Our VMware backup solutions integrate VMware’s Changed Block Tracking (CBT) technology to ensure that only the blocks that were modified since the initial Full, or the previous Differential or Incremental backup are relayed to the current Differential or Incremental vSphere backup stream, providing markedly more efficient backups, lighter network load and optimization of the disk space.
Using our VMware backup software together with Bacula's Progressive Virtual Full technology dramatically reduces disk storage utilization and lowers the I/O operations as well.
This Single File Restore capability for Bacula's VMware backup solution comes with industry-leading speed and convenience. This is done from any of the management consoles with a few clicks in the web environment or GUI by indicating some criteria or parameters from CLI.
