A while ago Vembu Technologies, also known as just Vembu, released version 4.1 of their BDR solution which is a suite of products that provides Backup & Restore plus Disaster Recovery.
There are some pretty nice new features in version 4.1, e.g:
- Integrity Check Management – Option to schedule, previously every 24h, when all or any of the three checks (Boot test, Mount test) will be performed for a virtual and or physical backup.
- Hyper-V Incremental Backup using Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) – More efficient backups
- VMware Backup Proxy – Good for scalability
- Oracle application consistent backups.
- Support for backing up VM data which resides on Microsoft Scale-out File Server (SOFS)
- System Files Exclusion – For NTFS file systems you can exclude unnecessary files such as e.g. pagefile.sys & hiberfil.sys
The free edition, released with version 3.7, still applies meaning you can backup VMs and physical servers with limited functionality after the trail period has ended.
