RHV Backup

Bacula Systems’ Red Hat Virtualization (RHEV) Backup Software is a powerful, enterprise-grade solution designed to protect Red Hat Virtualization environments with unmatched flexibility and efficiency. It provides native integration with RHV hypervisors, enabling agentless, image-level, and file-based backups. The solution supports full, incremental, and differential backup levels, and is optimized for cost-effective, scalable, and secure data protection.

Features

• Agentless Backup: No need to install software on individual VMs.
• Full Image-Level Backup: Captures the entire VM state for complete recovery.
• Incremental and Differential Backups: Reduces storage and bandwidth usage.
• Snapshot Integration: Uses RHV snapshots for consistent, live backups.
• Flexible Restore Options: Restore to original or alternate clusters, storage domains, or as plain files.
• Single File Restore: Enables granular recovery from image-level backups.
• Disk and VM Exclusion: Customize backup scope by excluding specific disks or VMs.
• Automated Backup Management: Includes snapshot cleanup, failed backup handling, and password obfuscation.

Capabilities

• Backup of VMs in running, paused, or shut-off states.
• Restore VMs with new names or configurations for migration or testing.
• Local restore of disk images and VM XML configurations.
• Selection of VMs by tags, name patterns, cluster, or storage domain.
• Integration with various storage backends without dependency.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Reduces backup time and resource usage with incremental backups and snapshot automation.
• Flexibility: Supports a wide range of restore scenarios and backup configurations.
• Security: Includes features like password obfuscation and failed backup cleanup.
• Scalability: Ideal for large RHV environments with centralized management.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Lowers total cost of ownership compared to other solutions.
