eEVOS Backup Options
eEVOS offers a range of flexible and efficient backup solutions to ensure your data is protected and quickly recoverable. Below are the primary backup methods available in eEVOS:
1. Instant Backup & Recovery
eEVOS provides Instant Backup & Recovery functionality using advanced reflink technology. This feature allows you to take full backups of your virtual machines (VMs) within seconds, regardless of their size. Backups are stored in a deduplicated format, significantly reducing the amount of storage space required.
- Instant Backups: Create near-instantaneous backups of entire VMs with minimal disruption.
- Recovery: Recover VMs entirely or restore individual files from backups with no delays.
- Efficient Storage: Reflink technology ensures that duplicate data is stored only once, saving space and speeding up backup processes.
2. Network Backup
With Network Backup, eEVOS allows you to perform deduplicated network backups to a remote location. Unlike incremental backups, eEVOS’s network backup system ensures that only unique data blocks are transferred over the network, minimizing bandwidth usage and backup time.
- Deduplication: Only unique data is transferred, reducing backup size and network load.
- Off-site Storage: Network backups can be securely stored in off-site locations for disaster recovery purposes.
- Automated Scheduling: Backups can be scheduled to run at specified intervals, ensuring that your data is regularly protected.
3. External Backup
eEVOS supports External Backup solutions by preparing snapshots of virtual machines in a dedicated folder. These snapshots can be easily accessed by third-party backup tools or tape backup systems. This approach offers maximum flexibility, allowing businesses to integrate eEVOS with their existing backup infrastructure.
- VM Snapshots: Snapshots of VMs are stored in a special folder, ready for use by external backup solutions.
- Third-party Integration: Compatible with various third-party backup tools for enhanced backup strategies.
- Tape Backup Support: Prepared snapshots can be used for tape backups, providing an additional layer of protection for long-term storage and archival.
Conclusion
eEVOS delivers powerful backup capabilities that cater to different needs, from instant recovery to comprehensive network backups and external integrations. These features ensure that your virtual machines and data are consistently safeguarded and quickly recoverable in any situation.
