Proxmox VE is a powerful, open-source virtualization platform, free to use with no licensing fees. It delivers a high-performance, cost-effective solution for businesses of any size. For businesses where downtime is not an option, a backup solution that integrates seamlessly with Proxmox VE is essential. It should deliver advanced recovery workflows that maximize speed, flexibility, and control, ensuring business continuity and rapid virtual machine (VM) restoration when it matters most.
Which core recovery capabilities are essential for an effective Proxmox backup solution?
- Run Direct Restore
The Run Direct feature automatically migrates and lets you power on and access a VM even from the backup destination, without waiting for the full recovery to complete. Definitely a lifesaver when speed is of the essence. This flexibility allows you to recover exactly what you need, without the complexity or unnecessary prolonged downtime.
- Cross-Host Server Restore Scenarios
The Proxmox module supports cross-host restores, allowing you to recover VMs to a different Proxmox server such as a standby server. This helps reduce disruption when dealing with hardware or disk failures or moving workloads during maintenance or scaling, which is crucial for minimizing disruption, especially when you need to move workloads without interrupting the flow of business.
- Individual VM Disk Restoration
You should have the option to restore either a full VM or individual virtual disks, depending on your needs or if only specific virtual disk(s) are corrupted. The restore of specific virtual disks is more efficient and with less downtime compared recovering the entire VM.
Not every situation requires a full VM recovery or recovery of a virtual disk. Sometimes end users just want to recover a few files or folders. This is where Granular Restore is very useful. Granular restore connects to the virtual disk(s) directly on the backup storage, so you can simply select and restore the files/folder you need.
This feature will simplify and speed up the recovery process of Windows VMs, as there is no longer the need for an additional application-level backup and, subsequently, an application-level recovery to ensure data consistency.
