Main Features
Open API
All communication between 3rd party system goes via RESTful API exposed by the Server. Tasks are being performed by the Node behind the scenes. End-user is going to use only 3rd party system to invoke and monitor status of the tasks.
Application Backup
Extend backup capabilities with application backup. Add your custom scripts to Storware Command Execution Configuration and protect your: databases, hypervisor configuration set of files in your infrastructure.
Multiple Backup Destinations
Storware provide support for multiply targets: Any mounted file-system, object storage (S3, SWIFT, Azure BlobStorage, GCS), and Enterprise backup vendors (Dell, IBM, Veritas)
Recovery Plans
With Storware it is possible not only easily automate backup but also recovery processes. This saves you time in carrying out the necessary tests and guarantees that in the event of a failure our backup is valid
oVirt UI integration plugin
This integration allows the administrator not only to monitor tasks progress and other things related to storage space or backup performance. Simply and intuitively it allows, for example, to assign virtual machines to selected backup policies, perform backups or restore selected machines on demand.
Automate VMs backup policy assignment. Storware uses tags and regular expressions (regex) to have your VM protected directly from your oVirt management console.
5 agentless backup strategies
5 backup strategies: export storage domain (API v3), Proxy VM (snapshot-disk attachment, API v4), snapshot-chains (disk image transfer from hypervisor manager, API v4.2+), SSH transfer and Changed Block Tracking. CBT in oVirt simplifies, speeds up, and improves robustness by backing up only changed blocks, and avoiding temporary snapshots.
oVirt VMs backup strategies may be more or less effective depending on the customer’s IT infrastructure. The choice between various backup strategies depends on the technical capabilities, the size of the organization, or the specific needs and requirements of a client.
