Powerful and Affordable Microsoft Hyper-V Backup

Flexible backup technology for reliable Hyper-V backups

BackupChain creates backups and replication for Hyper-V and VSS. The image-based snapshot backups and replicas of Hyper-V virtual machines can be restored anywhere, anytime, in full or via granular restore.

When you back up Hyper-V virtual machines using BackupChain’s Microsoft Hyper-V backup software, you benefit from multi-threaded deduplication, which compresses and removes redundant information from your backups, saving 95% or more storage space when in incremental mode. Furthermore, BackupChain allows IT professionals and Hyper-V virtualization administrators move Hyper-V VM backups to the cloud up using WAN acceleration. Our cloud backup plans are amongst the best value in the market, all backed with fanatic technical support!

Backup and IT administrators worldwide who need to protect their Microsoft Hyper-V environments love BackupChain: Our BackupChain Hyper-V backup and recovery software performs incremental virtual machine backup–whether local or to the cloud–reliably so you can be assured your Hyper-V replication will work no matter what and your Microsoft Hyper-V environment is fully and reliably protected. Our deduplication engine utilizes many CPU cores simultaneously and delivers stunning compression results for Hyper-V replication and backup. On average, backup increments are around just 5% of the original VM’s size.

Multi-virtualization platform support

BackupChain Backup Software also supports VMware Workstation, VMware Player, and VMware Server, as well as VirtualBox. With BackupChain you can back up VMs, VHDX VHD (Hyper-V), VMDK (VMware) and VDI (VirtualBox) — Hyper-V and VMware using from the same software and using with the same Number 1 backup features available on all platforms.

It’s easy to use BackupChain’s powerful backup and restore for Hyper-V backup

Restore and Backup directly from the VM’s file system

No other backup and replication software offers granular backup without VM agents. BackupChain also offers powerful Hyper-V recovery options, which range from complete Hyper-V VM (virtual machine) recovery, to granular restore of individual files and folders inside a Hyper-V machine. BackupChain’s Microsoft Hyper-V backup solution features granular backup and restore, which allow you to recover Windows Server Hyper-V backups that include Exchange Server and SQL Server databases.

Windows Server and Hyper-V backup support

BackupChain Backup Software can take a Hyper-V virtual machine backup of any guest operating system that runs in the Microsoft Hyper-V VM. Beyond backup for Hyper-V, BackupChain also backs up VMware Workstation, Player, Server, and VirtualBox VMs, providing the same backup and restore features, including granular backup and restore.

Solid Hyper-V backup functionality you can count on

Hyper-V Replication to local targets and cloud, and Unmatched, Fanatic Technical Support

BackupChain’s Hyper-V backup solution supports most types of storage systems, from local disks, to network shares and NAS servers, to the BackupChain Cloud using deduplication for a dramatically shorter Hyper-V backup cycle and restore operation. BackupChain’s Hyper-V backup and replication works on target folders, so as long as the storage media of your choice offers a file/folder structure it can be used as a target; there is no need assign entire disks or servers to BackupChain. In addition, targets may be freely rotated.
Beyond that, BackupChain backup software also provides military-strength encryption (AES 256-bit) to protect backup data and keep it secure. BackupChain can also replicate Hyper-V VMs based on their backup files to another disk or server, allowing you to set up a low-cost, simply, and yet very powerful backup system.
