ActiveImage Protector 2022 Virtual

SGD$ 2,564.00

ActiveImage Protector for Hyper-V provides hot-image backups of the Hyper-V host volume along with all guest virtual machines. ActiveImage Protector’s first-of-its-kind ReZoom technology lets you restore individual virtual machines instead of having to restore the entire volume. In addition, the new SHR feature can quickly start-up a VM from an image backup during the restore of the VM. ActiveImage Protector for Hyper-V can restore that virtual machine to a different Hyper-V server (even to dissimilar hardware).See the differences between two edition in the list.
