CLIENT CHALLENGE
AdventSource was looking for a powerful backup solution that would allow individual file restores and VMs to be restored to different file formats. They also needed the solution to be affordable.
THE VEMBU SOLUTION
According to Ed Sharon, the IT Director of AdventSource, what he liked best is that the software had the “Ability to a have a VM restored to any type of hypervisors like Hyper-V or VMware.” He also said “that Vembu BDR had the ability to restore a single file from an image backup” .Vembu BDR has the ability to do granular restores of files, email, SQL databases, and SharePoint documents instantly. The backups can be mounted as VHD, VHDX, VMDK-Flat and IMG disks and instantly boot them as VMs in VMware, Hyper-V and KVM without the need to restore the entire image. It can also achieve any point-in-time granular recovery.
