Everywhere I hear business continuity and disaster recovery are the two main topics that hit the talk of the enterprises’ town.
What actually is business continuity?
Well, to be precise it is the time taken for normal functioning of an organization to restore back all its data after a strike of disaster. Here disaster refers to the loss of data from an organization due to some ransomware attacks or any other hardware or software failures.
Thus to have a check on disaster the data backup plays an important role, and backup of same data in multiple locations is a boon for the business to continue effectively.
In this era of virtualization, many organizations have a number of virtual machines in order to support their business effectively with a minimum cost, as we all know that the virtual machines are all created and controlled by the Virtual Machine Monitor also called as a Hypervisor.
These are the two Hypervisors commonly used by organisations:
- ESXi – a product of VMware
- Hyper-V – a product of Microsoft for windows 8 and above versions
Let us consider a situation where I have to backup set of virtual machines in a Hyper-V Windows hypervisor environment. So how can it be done?
For this,Vembu has come up with a solution, using Vembu BDR suite v3.9.1, the backup of the whole Hyper-V environment or any particular virtual machine in that environment is made easy.
