Advantages
Easy to install and use
VM Explorer® is easily installed and ready to use within minutes.
The download size of the software is less than 30 MB and just a few clicks are required to complete the installation. No additional software or dedicated VM on your ESX, ESXi or Hyper-V servers is required.
Instant VM Recovery for ESX/ESXi (Enterprise)
In the case of a disaster recovery, you don’t need any more to wait until the restore is terminated. With Instant VM Recovery you can simply boot the VM directly from the backup* within a few seconds. Once the VM is running, you can restore the VM back to the production servers using VMware vMotion. Instant VM Recovery significantly decreases the downtime during a disaster recovery and is much faster than a classical restore.
* At this moment only local storage is supported.
Multi user interface with Active Directory Integration (Enterprise)
The new VM Explorer Web Interface allows you to create multiple users with different permissions to offer a comprehensive user management.
Users can be configured locally or imported from your Active Directory
server.
Replication
With point-in-time replication you can replicate any VM to another host, which can then be used for disaster recovery. The VM is automatically registered to your backup server and ready to run. If change tracking is enabled, VM Explorer® will replicate any changes to the new target host.
Server-to-server fast copy
VM Explorer® allows you to copy files and backups at full speed directly between ESX, ESXi, Hyper-V, Linux and FreeBSD servers.
Throughput is limited only by the available network/storage system bandwidth.
Detailed reporting
Email reporting about the status of your backups is essential. VM Explorer® supports a detailed email report containing all relevant nformation about the backup jobs. These reports can be viewed any time in your backup history.
Dynamic compression
Backups can be dynamically compressed to improve data transfer through slow network links (e.g., for wide-area replication) or to save space on the target system.
Multi-hypervisor support
VM Explorer® incorporates VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V into the same software.
File Level Restore
VM Explorer® provides an integrated File Level Restore function.
Directly restore a single file from any backup (FAT, NTFS and EXT) without restoring the full backup. With Enterprise Edition it is also possible to perform File Level Restore from backups which are located in a private or public cloud.
No special hardware requirements
VM Explorer® requires no additional hardware, server or virtual machine. In order to install VM Explorer®, you just need a Microsoft operating system (x32 or x64) that supports .NET Framework 4.0 , such as Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Server
Flexible backup target configuration
Customers have widely differing backup requirements and environments.
VM Explorer® supports numerous scenarios and backup targets, e.g., local machine, ESX servers, Hyper-V servers, private and public clouds (Amazon S3, OpenStack, Rackspace Cloud and HP Cloud), Linux, FreeBSD, NAS and SAN.
Automated backup test
VM Explorer® offers the option to automatically test a backup.
The automated test runs the backup in order to test the correct startup of the VM. The email report contains a health status and screenshots of the test process. Currently, this feature is only available for ESX/ESXi.
Powerful web interface
All VM Explorer® mazing features are available through a powerful web interface, which is up and running with a few clicks without the need for/of an external web server or any plugins.
