Virtual Machine Backup and Recovery
Protect virtual machines across the widest range of hypervisors from one platform — VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV, Citrix Hypervisor, and more. Agentless, policy-driven backup and recovery under a single universal license, so adding or changing a hypervisor never means re-architecting how you protect it.
Key Highlights
The widest hypervisor coverage
VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV, Citrix Hypervisor, XCP-ng, oVirt, Oracle Linux VM, RHV, Scale Computing, VergeOS, and OpenShift Virtualization — protected from one console.
Agentless by design
VM-level backups run through each hypervisor's native API — no in-guest agents to deploy or maintain across the fleet. (Hyper-V is the one documented exception, using a lightweight host agent.)
One universal license
Every supported hypervisor under a single license model — per host, per VM, or per TB. Add or switch platforms without new SKUs or a re-architecture.
Recovery that's tested, not assumed
Recovery Plans define what recovers and where; scheduled recovery testing proves your VMs come back before you need them to.
Virtual machine protection, built for many hypervisors
VM-level agentless backup
Full and incremental backups through the hypervisor's native API, application-consistent where the platform supports it — no agent sprawl inside guests.
Block-level incremental backups
Change block tracking transfers only changed blocks, shrinking backup windows and storage footprint for large, fast-growing VM estates.
Recovery Plans and one-click DR
Orchestrate recovery of grouped workloads in a single action, and run scheduled recovery tests so disaster recovery is proven rather than promised.
Immutability and air-gap
Object Lock, Retention Lock, IsoLayer air-gap, AES encryption, and Keycloak MFA protect the backup layer against tampering and ransomware.
Cross-platform recovery and V2V migration
Restore VMs across hypervisors, and migrate VMware, Citrix Hypervisor, or XCP-ng workloads to OpenStack using the same backups — no separate migration tool. See V2V Migration.
Flexible backup destinations
Local filesystem, NFS/CIFS, S3-compatible object storage, tape, and deduplication appliances — plus a proxy/independent backup server for integration with legacy backup systems.
HTML5 UI, CLI, and REST API
Manage from an intuitive web interface, script through the CLI, or automate with a documented REST API. Multi-tenancy and RBAC for shared and service-provider environments.
One license across the estate
Consistent licensing — per host, per VM, or per TB — whether you run a single hypervisor or ten.

One platform. Every hypervisor. One license.
Enterprise estates are multi-hypervisor by design. Protecting each platform with a different tool multiplies cost, policy drift, and coverage gaps at the seams.
The fragmentation problem
A tool per hypervisor means separate policies, separate consoles, and separate licenses — and inconsistent protection exactly where environments meet.
The single-platform answer
Storware protects every supported hypervisor from one console, under one license, with the same policies, immutability, and recovery workflow across all of them.
No re-architecture when you change
Add a hypervisor, migrate between them, or consolidate — your protection model stays the same. The platform absorbs the change instead of forcing a rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hypervisors does Storware back up?
VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV, Citrix Hypervisor, XCP-ng, oVirt, Oracle Linux VM, Red Hat Virtualization, Scale Computing, VergeOS, and OpenShift Virtualization — all under one universal license.
Is Storware agentless?
Yes. VM-level backups run through each hypervisor’s native API, so there are no in-guest agents to deploy or maintain. Hyper-V is the one documented exception, using a lightweight host agent.
Does one license cover all the hypervisors?
Yes. A single universal license covers every supported hypervisor, priced per host, per VM, or per TB — with no per-platform add-ons.
Can I recover a VM to a different hypervisor?
Yes. Storware supports cross-platform recovery, and can migrate VMware, Citrix Hypervisor, or XCP-ng VMs to OpenStack from the same backups as part of V2V migration.
How does Storware handle disaster recovery for VMs?
Recovery Plans define what recovers, from which backup, and where; one-click execution runs the plan in a single action. Scheduled recovery testing verifies recoverability in advance.
What backup destinations are supported?
Local filesystem, NFS/CIFS shares, S3-compatible object storage, tape, and deduplication appliances — with the option of a proxy or independent backup server for legacy backup systems.
Does Storware also protect containers?
Yes — container environments are protected under the same platform and license. See Container Backup and Recovery for the dedicated coverage.
How is licensing structured?
Consistently: per host, per VM, or per TB. The model stays the same whether you protect one hypervisor or your entire multi-hypervisor estate
