Compatible with ImageCenter replication
Replicate backup files to unlimited onsite, offsite or Cloud targets using the free ImageCenter add-on.
Minimises the use of CPU and memory resources.
Typical agent-based backup of virtual machines consume large amounts of CPU and memory resources during various stages of backup. The HyperAgent, installed on a remote machine, runs the tasks minimizing the consumption of CPU and memory resources on the host and guest machines. HyperAgent on Microsoft Storage Server achieves highly efficient storage driven virtual machine backups.
Supports Microsoftʼ s resilient change tracking.
For incremental backups of Hyper-V virtual machines.
NetJapanʼs advanced VHDX block Delta
NetJapanʼs Advanced VHDX Block Delta (AVBD) technology makes incremental backups of VMs without the need for an agent or driver installed on the Hyper-V host.
Features of Agentless Backup
No software agent installed on guestTraditional Agent-based backup installs a backup agent on all virtual machines. With agentless backup, no backup agent is installed on the virtual machines.
Competitors agentless backup either require an agent installed or a software appliance on the hypervisor. ActiveImage Agentless backup requires no software agent in any form on a hypervisor.
Restore or migrate VMs to different hosts, or across different hypervisors.
Uses ActiveImage protector vStandby™ technology to create and maintain virtual standby replica machines for instant switch-over.
