Features
- Back up Hyper-V VMs “live” – no need to save, suspend, or shut down
- ReverseDelta ™ technology – the most recent version of files are saved in their entirety for rapid restores. Older versions of files are saved only in differential block-level chunks. This allows for both rapid restoring and reduced space requirements on backup media.
- Restore a Hyper-V VM in only five clicks
- Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)-aware applications in virtual machines, such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server, will commit their databases.
Free edition limitations
- Only two virtual machines can be backed up
- Only stores backups for the past four weeks
