Description
-
Image based backup
ActiveImage Protector™ backs up your entire machine, including the OS, settings, data files and applications, and access rights into a single image file. When disaster strikes, select a backup image to quickly restore for a fast and complete recovery.
-
Direct-To-Cloud Backup
Backup systems directly to cloud storage. Supported public cloud storage services include Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure as backup destinations. In addition, Direct-To-Cloud Backup also supports SFTP servers as backup destinations.
-
File Backup
A new file backup option providing granular point-in-time backup and restore of specific files and folders.
-
LTO tape support
Support for LTO as a backup destination. Backup data saved on tape can be physically isolated from ransomware attacks and ensures long-term archival stability.
-
Ensure full-state recovery
ActiveImage Protector™ backs up your entire hard disk including the operating system in a single operation. In the event of a hardware failure, the system can be restored to a different physical machine or a virtual machine.
-
In-Cloud recovery
Any backup image can be restored directly to a virtual machine within the same cloud environment. In-Cloud Recovery offers an easy system migration of on-premise virtual or physical machines directly to cloud environments.
-
Faster and smaller backup with Smart Sector technology
ActiveImage Protector™’s Smart Sector™ technology only backs up the used sectors on a disk, resulting in faster backup and smaller backup files.
-
CBC (Changed Block Comparison™) Technology
Actiphy’s proprietary Changed Block Comparison™ (CBC) technology comprehensively analyzes a volume’s file system and identifies changed blocks that need to be backed up. As CBC is an installed program rather than a filter driver, incremental backups of NTFS volumes, are supported. A system restart is not required upon the installation or update of the program.
-
Save storage space with IDDC
Our Inline Data Deduplication Compression (IDDC) feature eliminates duplicate data while simultaneously compressing it, resulting in a significant reduction in backup storage requirements. An included advanced option, IDDC has no impact on backup processing time. No additional deduplication hardware or software purchase is necessary.
-
Bootability check by BootCheck™
BootCheck™ provides confidence that your backup images are bootable from local or remote Hyper-V hosts. BootCheck™ confirms bootability of a virtual machine directly from a backup image file.
-
Disk-To-Disk copy
A new disk-to-disk copy option that supports physical disks and volumes, for a complete sector by sector copy. The Disk-to-disk Copy feature can select the entire disk or a specific volume to copy, or copy to a higher capacity disk or volume.
-
Boot Environment
Windows-based Boot Environment can be built without installation of Windows ADK. Linux-based Boot Environment boots up on memory.
-
Image Target Server
Utilize iSCSI targets and NFS exports to emulate backup images as virtual disk files for flexible and immediate recovery or migration.
-
Boot backup images instantly using HyperBoot™
Using our real-time virtual conversion technology, HyperBoot bypasses the lengthy, resource intensive, and cumbersome physical to virtual conversion process, and boots the backup as a virtual machine in minimal time. Changes made while running the virtual machine from a backup are saved as differential backup files. A proverbial “Spare Wheel” for recovery, migration testing, repair, or upgrading prior to actual deployment.
