Technical Reliability for Virtual Environments

Device Backup PRO is designed for business environments that need efficient virtual machine backup, practical restore options and predictable backup costs.

Changed Block Tracking

For supported VMware and Hyper-V environments, VM backups can use changed-block tracking technologies to reduce the amount of data transferred after the initial backup.

VMware backups can use Changed Block Tracking through VMware backup APIs. Hyper-V backups can use Microsoft Resilient Change Tracking.

This helps keep backup windows shorter by focusing on changed data blocks rather than repeatedly transferring the full VM image.

Granular File-Level Restore

Device Backup PRO supports granular file-level restore from VM backup images.

This allows individual files or folders to be recovered without restoring the full virtual machine first, which can be useful when only specific data needs to be retrieved.

UK Sovereign Cloud Storage

VM backup data is stored in UK data centres, giving UK businesses a clear data-location position for backup and recovery planning.

Free Local Backup Included

Device Backup PRO includes free local backup, allowing businesses to back up to local storage as well as UK Sovereign cloud storage.

This supports a practical 3-2-1-style backup approach, combining fast local recovery with resilient offsite cloud backup.

Immutable Cloud Backup Protection

Cloud backup copies can be protected against unwanted deletion or malicious changes, helping reduce the risk of ransomware or compromised systems affecting your backup data.
