VM Explorer is simple but powerful software to backup and restore your VMWare ESX Virtual Machines (VM). In addition, it helps you to migrate, copy and clone Virtual Machines between your ESX servers.
Backups can be stored on ESX, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD based storage platforms or directly to a SAN. VM Explorer has only to be licenced once for your infrastructure, you don't have to pay any fees per ESX Server, CPU, or anything similar.
Trilead VM Explorer is a powerful yet easy to use solution dedicated to managing your backups and enabling fast recovery.
Here are some key features of "Trilead VM Explorer":
Easy to install and use:
· VM Explorer is installed within a few minutes and ready to use. The download size of the software less than 10MB and installation is made with a few clicks only. No need to install any additional software or dedicated VM on your ESX or ESXi Servers.
Job Scheduler:
· The integrated job scheduler allows you to perform unattened, periodic backups of your virtual infrastructure. Now this scheduler runs as Windows Service. In addition, Jobs can be started through the GUI or using the command line interface.
Flexible backup target configuration:
· Every customer has different requirements and environments for creating backups. VM Explorer supports many different scenario and backup targets as ESX Servers, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and SAN.
Full and Incremental Backups :
· In addition to full backups VM Explorer supports Changed Block Trakcing (CBT) to create incremental backups. Restore your backups to any version in the history.
Complete overview:
· Often it becomes a problem to keep the overview about all backups you have created. Especially if your data center is large and you have many backup jobs running. VM Explorer keeps a simple overview containing all backups which can be filtered and sorted by your needs. Restore your backups from this overview with only a few clicks.
Detailed reporting:
· Email reporting about the status of your backups is very important. Since version 3.5 VM Explorer supports a very detailed email report containig all relevant information about the occured backup jobs. These reports can also be viewed anytime from the backup history.
Server to Server fast copy:
· Allows you to copy files and backups directly between ESX, Linux and FreeBSD servers at full speed: throughput is only limited by the available network/storage system bandwidth.
Dynamic Compression:
· To make use of slow network links (e.g., for wide-area replication) or to save space on the target system, backups can be dynamically compressed.
More Features Highlights:
· No special hardware requirements needed, can even be installed on a VM
· Email reporting and notification
· Application consistend backups using Memory snapshots
· Supports all OS supported by VMWare ESX/ESXi
