Auto-restore of virtual machines, including on different hosts (also useful for the replication/cloning of virtual machines).Full support for connecting to VMware vCenter Server and ESXi Cluster.Restore of individual files (file-level restore).Backups only of the disk space that is actually being used.Incremental Replication even between ESXi Free hosts.Replication of virtual machines from host to host and from datastore to datastore (to have an immediately bootable copy in case of crash).Backup of ESXi Free (the free vSphere Hypervisor version), including incremental and differential backups.Incremental and differential backups of virtual machines (full support for Changed Block Tracking (CBT/VDDK)).We would like to highlight the functions and features: Replication can also be planned and performed on multiple destinations, thus enabling an optimal failover policy on top of the freemium ESXi. Supprisingly, it supports incremental and differential backup of ESXi (CBT/VDDK) virtual machines.īesides, Iperius supports the replication of virtual machines from datastore to datastore and from host to host, to have an exact copy of virtual machines always ready to be started in case of malfunction or crash of the main machine. It is a solution powerful, complete, and extremely easy-to-use. So the editorial board of “No Wanna Cry” – are searching around and picking up some different tools for trial.įinally, an Italian software Iperius backup is being selected due to the support of ESXi free without no limit in usage of backup targets. The cost will be extremely high and not worth for ESXi free or other virtual environment like Hyper-V. On the other hand, there are some backup tools able to backup ESXi free images but charging by the number of guest nodes. Unfortunately, most of the backup tools are unaffordable and never design for ESXi free version. It is not possible to shutdown each guest to clone a full image as backup.
We are running a computer lab with a VM farm for managing needed 100 VM guest hosts with the ESXi free version mainly for development and education purpose.
