Ahsay backup provides complete protection for all your virtual machines running on Proxmox VE
- Simple, reliable and flexible data protection for your Proxmox VE servers
- Instant recovery options to meet recovery objectives
- Scalability to meet growing needs with the capability of supporting large workloads
- Ensures business continuity/disaster recovery (BCDR)
When your guest VMs are backed up with Ahsay using the latest data protection technologies such as immutable backups, AES 256-bit data encryption, two-factor authentication, and restore drill (backup data validation), you will have full confidence in your organization's ability to perform a complete data recovery in the event of a disaster.
Secure, reliable, and fast backups
To ensure data reliability, reduce the amount of backup data transferred, and ultimately improve backup performance, Ahsay uses a range of different technologies:
- Select all VMs or specific VMs to backup.
- Selecting specific virtual disks on each VM to backup allows customers focus on protecting critical data, which helps to optimize backup performance and storage usage.
- Proxmox takes a snapshot to capture the entire state of the guest VMs to ensure complete data consistency in preparation for a backup.
- Application awareness on Windows guest VMs means all data in memory and pending transactions are automatically flushed to disk to guarantee application-level data consistency.
- Change Block Tracking (CBT) technology to detect data block level changes on a guest VM; only data blocks that have changed since the last backup job are backed up.
- Automatically excludes the swap file and deleted data blocks on the virtual disk(s) from the backup data.
- Data deduplication detects and removes duplicate data, only backing up unique data. This can result in up to 90% reduction in storage usage and costs.
- Data compression is for further reducing the size of the backup data.
What are the benefits?
Ahsay provides an intuitive user interface to guide you through the automated recovery process directly on a live production server or standby server.
Standard recovery options:
- Restore guest VMs to the original location on the same Proxmox host.
- Restore guest VMs to an alternate storage location on the same Proxmox host.
- Restore guest VMs to an entirely different Proxmox host.
Advanced recovery options:
- Using granular restore: mount the virtual disk(s) of the guest VM directly from the backup file located on the backup destination, then use Ahsay UI or Windows File Explorer to recover files/folders.
- Using VM Run Direct: start running a virtual machine directly from the backup file located on the backup destination, either on AhsayCBS or cloud storage, without the need to physically restore it to the Proxmox host first.
- Using Live Migration can physically restore the running guest VM back to the Proxmox host.
