Private Cloud Backup and Recovery
Protect private cloud workloads across OpenStack and every major distribution — Canonical, Red Hat, OpenMetal, Platform9, and more — plus Ceph storage and KVM. Agentless, multi-tenant backup and disaster recovery from the platform built around the OpenStack stack for over a decade, under one universal license.
Key Highlights
#1 Backup & DR for OpenStack
Native to Nova, Cinder, Glance, Neutron, and Keystone — the most OpenStack coverage on the market, not generic VM backup pointed at a cloud.
Every major distribution, one platform
Vanilla OpenStack, Canonical (Sunbeam), Red Hat OpenStack Platform, OpenMetal, Platform9, Sardina FishOS, and Virtuozzo Infrastructure — under a single universal license.
Agentless, multi-tenant by design
API-driven backups with no agents on compute nodes. Native Horizon and Skyline integration, multi-domain authentication, and RBAC keep tenants isolated on shared infrastructure.
Ceph-native and storage-agnostic
Direct Ceph RBD integration with change-based incrementals, plus Cinder disk-attachment for Cinder-compatible storage — backup isn't tied to one storage layer.
Private cloud protection, native to OpenStack
API-driven agentless backup
Full and incremental backups through Nova, Cinder, Glance, and Neutron — no agents on compute nodes or VMs. The Storware Node just needs API access.
Cinder disk-attachment strategy
Standard and generic incremental backups via Cinder disk-attachment, so Cinder-compatible storage is protected without tying backup to a specific storage layer.
Native Ceph RBD integration
Direct RBD integration with Changed Block Tracking and Snap Diff transfers only changed blocks. Multi-Ceph and multi-cluster support protects distributed environments from one platform.
Multi-tenancy, multi-domain, RBAC
Native Horizon and Skyline UI integration, multi-domain authentication, and role-based access keep tenants and teams separated across shared OpenStack infrastructure.
Disaster recovery with Recovery Plans
One-click DR and scheduled recovery testing across private cloud workloads, with cross-platform restore and V2V migration into OpenStack from the same backups.
Immutability and air-gap
IsoLayer air-gap, Object Lock, Retention Lock, AES encryption, and Keycloak MFA — on a Linux-based installation.
Distributed, scalable deployment
Installer, ISO, packages, and physical or virtual deployment — scaling horizontally as OpenStack estates grow.
EU-sovereign, one universal license
EU-based control plane and support, with every distribution covered under one license — no per-platform fees.

Private cloud isn't "VMs in general." Neither is protecting it.
A backup platform for OpenStack has to understand Cinder snapshots, Nova inventory, Keystone domains, and Glance images — not just virtual machines. Storware has been built around that stack for over a decade.
Native to the OpenStack services
Nova, Cinder, Glance, Neutron, Keystone — Storware speaks the APIs your cloud is built on, so backup and recovery map to how OpenStack actually works.
Ceph where your data lives
Direct Ceph RBD integration with change tracking, multi-Ceph and multi-cluster from one platform — the storage backend most private clouds run on.
Multi-tenant from the ground up
Domains, projects, and RBAC mirrored in the backup layer, so tenant isolation is enforced, not approximated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which private cloud platforms does Storware protect?
OpenStack and its major distributions — Canonical (Sunbeam), Red Hat OpenStack Platform, OpenMetal, Platform9, Sardina FishOS, and Virtuozzo Infrastructure — along with the Ceph and KVM they run on, all under one universal license.
Is OpenStack backup agentless?
Yes. Backups are API-driven through Nova, Cinder, Glance, and Neutron, with no agents on compute nodes or virtual machines. The Storware Node only needs network access to the OpenStack APIs.
How does Storware back up OpenStack storage?
Through Cinder disk-attachment (standard and generic incremental) for Cinder-compatible storage, and native Ceph RBD integration with Changed Block Tracking and Snap Diff for Ceph backends — so protection isn’t tied to one storage layer.
Does it support multi-tenant OpenStack?
Yes. Native Horizon and Skyline integration, multi-domain authentication, and RBAC let different tenants and teams manage their own backups while keeping data isolated.
What disaster recovery capabilities are included?
Recovery Plans define what recovers and where; one-click execution runs the plan in a single action, and scheduled recovery testing proves it in advance. Backups also drive V2V migration into OpenStack.
Do the different OpenStack distributions each need a separate product?
No. One universal license covers vanilla OpenStack and every supported distribution — no per-distribution or per-platform fees.
Is my private cloud backup EU-sovereign?
Storware’s control plane, engineering, and support are EU-based, which helps organizations meet GDPR, NIS2, and DORA obligations without US-jurisdiction exposure.
Can I offer Backup or DR as a service on my private cloud?
Yes. Multi-tenancy, white-labeling, and self-service make OpenStack a base for BaaS and DRaaS — see BaaS and DRaaS for MSPs.
