BDRSuite 2025 Roadmap
1. Empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs) with Remote Centralized Management
1.1 Cloud-Hosted Remote Management Console
BDRCloud enables MSPs to manage backups from anywhere, anytime, with the BDRCloud-hosted Centralized Management Console. This provides the flexibility to oversee and control all backup operations remotely without the need for on-premises hardware.
MSPs can quickly launch backup services and onboard clients with our cloud-hosted backup solution that removes traditional hardware requirements, reducing setup and maintenance costs, and ultimately increasing profit margins. BDRCloud stands out in the market offering support for diverse workloads (VMs, Servers, Endpoints, SaaS, Cloud VMs, DBs/Apps) with the flexibility to backup from any location and store backup data on any storage, such as local/remote storage, your own public cloud or on our cost-effective BDRCloud storage. Learn more about BDRCloud.
For those who prefer hosting their own infrastructure, BDRSuite’s self-hosted management console option is also available, enabling complete control over the backup server setup. Download BDRSuite.
1.2 Storage Proxy
MSPs/IT Administrators can now deploy storage proxies across multiple locations, with each site having its own dedicated proxy to store backups efficiently and manage backup data transfers. This provides the flexibility to store data anywhere, ensuring faster backups, reducing delays, and enhancing overall backup performance across various storage locations.
1.3 Self-Service Access for Clients
Allows MSPs to grant self-service access to tenants (clients) with role-based access control, such as read-only or recovery access, while maintaining control over critical settings and security.
1.4 End-User Login
MSPs/IT administrators can now provide granular access control for individual end-users to access their own backups. For organizations with multiple endpoints, each user can log in to restore or manage their data through a secure, web-based console.
1.5 PSA Integration
Currently BDRSuite supports ConnectWise Manage integration. Adding to that, BDRSuite will now support integration of Autotask and ConnectWise Billing and Ticketing, reducing manual work and improving service quality.
2. Ransomware Protection & Recovery
Ransomware remains a top concern for businesses, and BDRSuite is strengthening its protection capabilities. Our 2025 roadmap includes significant enhancements in anomaly detection and ransomware recovery orchestration, ensuring your backups are not only secure but also easily recoverable in the event of an attack.
2.1 Anomaly Detection
The Anomaly Detection feature in BDRSuite acts as a proactive defense against ransomware and security threats. By learning the typical behavior of the backup environment with user-defined thresholds, BDRSuite continually monitors for unusual patterns. Instances significantly deviating from learned patterns trigger alerts, promptly notifying users or administrators. This early warning system facilitates swift action, mitigating risks, preventing data loss, and ensuring the security of backup data.
Key Aspects: Early Detection, Real-time Monitoring, Alerts and Notifications, Customizable Thresholds
Example: If BDRSuite detects a sudden spike in data transfer rates or an unexpected increase in data changes, it immediately triggers an alert.
2.2 Ransomware Recovery Orchestration
BDRSuite introduces Ransomware Recovery Orchestration, a feature that elevates data recovery to a new level of security. When initiating the recovery process, BDRSuite employs a meticulous approach by first utilizing antivirus software to conduct a comprehensive scan of the backup data.
This initial step is crucial as it ensures that the restored data is free from any malware, viruses, or potentially harmful content. If the scan detects any anomalies or viruses, the recovery process is immediately halted to prevent the restoration of compromised data.
This pre-restore scan acts as a vital security measure, preserving the integrity of the backup files and providing assurance that recovered data is safe and reliable. Only when the scan is successful and confirms the absence of threats does BDRSuite proceed to initiate the recovery, ensuring a robust and secure restoration process.
3. Hypervisors & Virtual Machines Backup & Recovery
From Proxmox to VMware, we are introducing a suite of new features aimed at improving backup, recovery, and disaster recovery capabilities for virtualized environments.
3.1 Backup Support for Proxmox Cluster
Backup and recovery support for Proxmox clusters to ensure high availability.
3.2 Instant Boot VM for Proxmox VE and oVirt Backup
Instantly boot Proxmox & oVirt virtual machines from backup in less than 15 mins, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
3.3 Offsite Copy for Proxmox VE, oVirt, and KVM VM Backup
Create an additional copy of VM backups with Offsite Copy/DR options and store them in a remote data center or in your own public cloud or BDRCloud.
3.4 Cross-Platform Recovery
Seamless VM recovery across platforms, including Hyper-V to Proxmox, KVM to Proxmox, VMware to Proxmox, and more.
3.5 Application-aware Backup for KVM, Proxmox VE & oVirt
Ensure application consistency during backups with application-aware capabilities for KVM, Proxmox, and oVirt VMs.
3.6 Recovery to AWS
With BDRSuite, you can spin your on-premise virtual and physical machines from VM & Disk Image Backup as Cloud VMs. Currently, BDRSuite supports restoring as Azure VMs. BDRSuite now extends supports to restore on AWS as well. You can recover the VM & Disk Image Backups directly to AWS as an EC2 Instance.

BDRSuite extends its protection to Microsoft Azure AD, offering comprehensive backup of user identities, permissions, and security configurations.
5. VM Replication, Failover & Failback
VM replication is a critical component of any disaster recovery plan. BDRSuite’s enhancements in this area for 2025 will ensure that replication is not only more efficient but also more flexible, allowing for faster failback and streamlined recovery.
5.1 Hyper-V Failback
BDRSuite will now support restoring virtual machines (VMs) from a disaster recovery site back to the primary Hyper-V environment after a failover.
5.2 Incremental Failback Support
VMware & Hyper-V VM Replication enables you to quickly return to production with incremental failback option by restoring only the changes from the failover VM.
6. Performance & Security Updates
6.1 Latest PHP Upgrade
As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a secure platform, BDRSuite will be upgraded to latest PHP. This upgrade will bring enhanced performance, reduced latency, and improved compatibility with modern web technologies, ensuring that your backup and recovery processes are faster, more reliable, and more secure than ever.
