eEVOS Instant Backup & Recovery offers an ultra-fast, low-impact solution for protecting virtual machines. Backups and restores take just seconds, with minimal storage usage — enabling immediate recovery of entire VMs or individual files without disrupting system performance.
Unlike traditional snapshots that rely on formats like VMDK or VHD and impact VM performance, eEVOS uses advanced reflink-based technology. This creates fully independent recovery images that consume minimal space and avoid performance penalties. Snapshot consolidation, often required in legacy systems, becomes unnecessary.
Key Advantages
No Snapshot Consolidation Required
Recovery images are fully independent of the original data, eliminating complex snapshot management.
Instant Backup and Restore
Create and restore full VM images or single files within seconds.
Minimal Storage Footprint
Reflink-based recovery images require only the space needed for changes, making them ideal for frequent backups.
No Impact on Live VM Performance
Backup operations do not affect the performance of running virtual machines.
File-Level Recovery
Recover individual files from within a VM without restoring the entire system — ideal for quick fixes and user errors.
Backup Management
You can create scheduled recovery points or launch manual instant backups whenever needed. These recovery images are created rapidly and stored efficiently on the same system for immediate access.
For long-term protection, we recommend combining instant recovery with regular VM backups to NAS or cloud storage.
Recovery Options
Restore Individual Files
Access the recovery image via SMB share and extract specific files — perfect for recovering accidentally deleted or overwritten documents (e.g., from Windows VMs).
Restore Entire Virtual Machine
Instantly replace a VM with a recovery image to revert to a known good state.
- Backup and restore take only a few seconds
- Single files from the VM can be easily and quickly recovered (you do not have to restore the whole VM
