Maximize Data Protection with
the Hyper-V Backup Software
Application-Consistent Backups
Capture the entire VM during backup, including all disks and configuration files. The app-aware mode ensures that data in Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL is transactionally consistent.
Storage Optimization
Perform incremental backups using Microsoft’s Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology to copy only the changed blocks of data. You can further reduce the size of your backups with swap data exclusion and compression.
Advanced Backup Tiering
Store backup copies onsite, offsite, in the cloud (Amazon, Wasabi, Azure, Backblaze and more), in S3-compatible storage, on NAS or tape. Hyper-V cloud backups provide data redundancy and eliminate a single point of failure.
Multiple Recovery Options
Instantly boot Hyper-V VMs directly from compressed backups without performing a full recovery to achieve near-instant RTOs. With Cross-Platform Recovery, you can restore Hyper-V machines as VMware vSphere VMs and vice versa.
Instant Granular Recovery
Enable file system indexing to easily find individual files and application objects in backups and across repositories. Restore data to the original or custom location in seconds, without recovering the entire VM.
Reliable Backup Verification
Enable instant verification after each successful backup to automatically test the recoverability of your VMs. The solution boots the machine’s OS and sends you a report or screenshot.
Backup Immutability and Air-Gapping
Apply immutability to backups stored in Linux-based local repositories, on a NEC HYDRAstor deduplication appliance or in the cloud to ensure that the data cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware. You can also create air-gapped backups by storing data offline on detachable media like tape.
Layered Security
Encrypt backups before sending them over the network and store encrypted data locally or in the cloud with immutability enabled if needed. Prevent unauthorized access to your backup data using built-in security features like role-based access control and two-factor authentication.
Malware Scans
Scan backups for malware before recovery to prevent ransomware from spreading to your production environment, ensuring safe, clean and uncompromised data restoration and proactive threat detection.
Automated Backup and Recovery
Run data protection workflows automatically by scheduling them in the Calendar dashboard or linking jobs to run one after the other. You can also set up custom policies to protect VMs that fit specific criteria (name, size, location, etc).

FAQ
How does backup for Hyper-V work?
This is an agentless solution, meaning that the solution creates backups at the virtualization level (rather than the guest OS level) and captures virtualization disk contents and configuration files. With this type of backup, you can also create incremental backups, saving only changed data volumes (increments) to the backup repository. To improve backup speed, the solution relies on Microsoft’s native Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology that automatically tracks all data changes.
Can I protect mixed environments?
Absolutely. Along with Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup and recovery, you can protect:
Use Cross-Platform Recovery to recover VMs between Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere. You can also use Instant P2V to recover physical machines as VMware vSphere VMs.
Can I back up a Hyper-V cluster?
