Powerful and fast centralized control: We've got your back

VM Backup (formerly Altaro VM Backup) simplifies the management and configuration of your backup and restore jobs across multiple hosts, freeing up your time.

  • Powerful functionality that's easy to use - Set your mind (and the minds of the users who depend on you!) at rest through VM Backup's high-performance functionality, including:
    • Ransomware Protection leveraging Immutable Cloud Storage - Data cannot be erased, modified or deleted by anyone for a set duration.
    • Augmented Inline Deduplication - Dramatically reduced storage requirements for backups.
    • WAN-Optimized Replication - VMs can be replicated to a remote site continuously, dramatically improving the Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
    • Continuous Data Protection (CDP) – VMs can be backed up as frequently as every 5 minutes, ensuring that in a data loss scenario, only a few minutes of data are lost, significantly optimizing the Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
    • Multiple offsite backup locations – Apart from your local backup, store backup copies of your VMs in multiple offsite locations (such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, Wasabi or your own offsite servers) for added peace of mind. More info about a 3-2-1+ backup strategy.
    • Natively supports various cloud storage options - Optionally back up natively to Azure, Amazon S3 and Wasabi.
    • Grandfather-Father-Son Archiving (GFS) - You can also archive different backup versions by setting up separate backup cycles to store a new backup version every week, every month and every year.
    • And much more!
  • Flexibility without complexity – Simply drag and drop selected VMs to your chosen backup schedules and retention policies.
  • Central management of your installations – Use our ground-breaking cloud-based platform, to centrally manage and monitor all your Altaro VM Backup installations from a single online console. More info
  • Azure Stack HCI support – Back up any VMs running on Microsoft Azure Stack HCI. More info
  • 256-bit AES encryption – All offsite backup copies automatically benefit from 256-bit AES encryption through the secure passphrase you configure upon initial setup. Encryption is optional for local backups.
  • Support for two factor authentication (2FA) in our online management platform, Cloud Management Console (CMC).
  • Support for ReFS partitions - Back up and restore VMs on/to Hyper-V host with an ReFS partition, in addition to NTFS.
  • Physical server backups - Use Physical Server Backup to back up any physical machines on your network and restore them to a virtual environment – we're providing it for free.
  • Different purchasing options to meet your needs - Choose whether to purchase a perpetual license (with a renewable Software Maintenance Agreement) or an annual subscription – whatever works best for you! More info
