VMware Backup Overview
Our VMware module backs up guest VMs at the hypervisor level, giving you a fast and complete restore path for disaster recovery scenarios. The module also backs up files and databases inside the guest OS, providing granular restore capability for day-to-day admin tasks.
Backups run unattended on a schedule you define. All data is protected with private encryption — your encryption password is never sent to us.
- Hypervisor-level backup of all guest VMs
- Granular file and database restore inside guest OS
- Bring your own storage or use ours (Azure / Wasabi)
- Unlimited retention with private encryption
- Monitor all VMs from a single management pane
Why Back Up VMware?
VMware environments are mission-critical and are susceptible to hardware failure, software corruption, accidental deletion, and ransomware. A checkpoint or snapshot is not a backup — it cannot protect you against storage failure or ransomware.
Is a snapshot the same as a backup?
No. A VMware snapshot checkpoints a specific point in time and is useful when installing or upgrading software. It is not a substitute for a cloud backup and cannot protect against storage-level failures.
Can this run alongside existing backup tools?
Yes. Our module can operate at the hypervisor or OS level without interfering with other backup applications.
VMware Backup FAQ
Do I need to back up my VMware VMs?
Yes. Every hardware and software platform will fail at some point. A cloud backup provides an off-site, encrypted copy of your VMs that can be restored quickly during a disaster.
What VMware versions are supported?
We support a wide range of VMware versions. See our supported versions page for the full list.
Where is the data stored?
You can back up to our pre-defined storage on Microsoft Azure or Wasabi, or bring your own storage destination. Multiple destinations can be configured for mirroring.
