Features & Requirements

 

 
 

Feature

Benefit

Agentless backup of online and offline VMs

Significantly enhances backup performance, while minimizing the load on target machines and the hypervisor during the process.

Agentless replication of online and offline VMs

Replication provides the best RTO, as it utilizes clones (replicas) of target machines on a certain ESX datastore.

Agent-based backup of physical machines, other hypervisor clients and fault-tolerant virtual machines

An agent on each target machine interacts with the backup server and performs backup tasks.

Flexible scheduling mechanism for near CDP

Protection policies can be scheduled from every few minutes to hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Full and incremental backups

Enables a complete backup cycle for protected images that is optimized for speed and resource efficiency.

Deduplication

Significantly reduces backup storage footprint.

Paragon VHD (pVHD®)

Cutting-edge backup image format that provides exceptional security, compression ratio, and integrity control.

Bare-metal restore

Restore an entire system to an unformatted drive.

Paragon Adaptive Restore

Allows the user to restore a system directly to dissimilar hardware without having to reinstall OS, applications, and re-configure the system.

Paragon Recovery-ID

Automatically and remotely perform a restore operation without local user-interaction.

Distributed architecture

Offers scalability for growing environments and medium to large departmentalized enterprises.

Protect & Restore Console

Centralized, easy-to-use interface to manage all virtual and physical machines from the same console.

P2P and V2P migrations

Seamless system and data migration.

Paragon UFSD (Universal File System Driver)

Unique technology that provides fast and reliable access to all major file systems.

Microsoft VSS support

The use of Microsoft′s Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) allows 100% data consistency when taking live snapshots of Windows machines.

Support a diverse range of HW, operating systems, platforms and applications

Ensures support of most of the latest hardware platforms and operating systems.
