RCT based Incremental Backup

Backing up virtual machines can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, especially in large virtualized environments. Traditional backup solutions often require full backups to be taken periodically, resulting in increased storage requirements and longer backup times. However, BDRSuite’s RCT based incremental backup for Hyper-V provides a more efficient and reliable backup solution.

How RCT Based Incremental Backup for Hyper-V works

BDRSuite utilises Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology, a feature of Hyper-V, to perform incremental backups. RCT is a technology built into Hyper-V that tracks changes made to virtual machine disks. It provides a way to identify changed disk sectors since the last backup, enabling faster incremental backups.

With RCT-based incremental backup, BDRSuite only backs up the changed blocks since the last backup. This approach results in smaller backups, faster backup times, and reduced storage requirements. The incremental backups are also more reliable, as they only capture the changes made since the last backup, reducing the risk of data loss.

Key Benefits

Faster Backup

RCT based technology helps reduce the time it takes to backup Hyper-V virtual machines, allowing you to complete backup quickly and easily.

Reduced Storage Requirements

By only backing up the changed blocks of a Hyper-V VMs, RCT based Incremental Backup reduces the amount of storage space required to save backups.
