VMware vSphere ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V back-up and recovery solution

Easy to install and use

VM Explorer^® is easy to install and ready to use within a few minutes. Download size of the software is less than 20MB and installation requires only a few clicks. No additional software or dedicated VM on your ESX or Hyper-V server is needed.

Fair and simple pricing

VM Explorer^® is licensed on the basis of an extremely simple pricing model – per installation and not per ESX/Hyper-V host or core. In most cases, only one license is required to back up your entire infrastructure.

Multi-hypervisor support

VM Explorer^® integrates VMware vSphere/ESX/ESXi (including ESXi free) and Microsoft Hyper-V server in the same software.

Job scheduling made easy

The integrated job scheduler allows you to perform unattended, periodic back-ups of your virtual infrastructure. The scheduler runs as a Windows service. Jobs may also be started through the graphical user interface or the command line interface.

Flexible configuration

Customers have widely differing requirements and environments for the creation of back-ups. VM Explorer^® supports numerous scenarios and back-up targets – such as ESX Servers, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and SAN.

Dynamic compression

To make use of slow network links (e.g. for wide area replication) or to save space on the target system, back-ups can be dynamically compressed.

Full and incremental backups

In addition to full back-ups, VM Explorer^® supports Changed Block Tracking (CBT) for the creation of incremental back-ups – enabling you to restore your back-ups to any version in their history.

Replication for disaster recovery

Point-in-time replication makes it possible to replicate any VM on another host, which can then be used for disaster recovery. This VM is automatically registered to your back-up server and ready to run. If change tracking is enabled, VM Explorer^® will replicate any changes on the new target host.

File level restoration

Directly restore any single file from any back-up (FAT, NTFS and EXT) without restoring the full back-up. VM Explorer^® provides an integrated file level restore function.

Server-to-server fast copying

VM Explorer^® allows you to copy files and back-ups directly and at maximum speed between ESX, ESXi, Hyper-V, Linux and FreeBSD servers. Throughput is limited only by the available network/storage system bandwidth.

An overview of all backups

VM Explorer^® maintains a simple overview of all back-ups. This list can be filtered and sorted according to your requirements. Restoring back-ups from this overview requires only a few clicks.

Detailed status reporting

Email reporting regarding the status of your back-ups is essential. VM Explorer^® supports very detailed email reporting, covering all relevant information concerning back-up jobs performed. These reports can also be viewed at any time through your back-up history.

Free support!

Trilead^® offers free support to all customers using the latest version of VM Explorer.
