Virtuozzo Infrastructure Backup and Recovery
Virtuozzo Infrastructure (V/IS) is a hyperconverged, OpenStack-based IaaS platform built for service providers. Storware protects it agentlessly through the OpenStack-compatible APIs — generic-incremental backups, granular recovery, and multi-tenant, tag-based policies — the model for backup-as-a-service under one subscription.
Key Highlights
OpenStack-based, agentless
No agents in your guests. Storware works through Virtuozzo's OpenStack-compatible APIs (Nova, Cinder, Glance).
Generic incremental
Storage-backend-independent incrementals using block-level comparison — fast, space-efficient protection at scale.
Built for BaaS
Multi-tenant, with tag- and name-based policy assignment and subscription licensing — the model service providers need to offer backup-as-a-service.
Virtuozzo integration partner
Storware is listed as an integration partner on Virtuozzo Infrastructure (V/IS).
Powerful Data Protection Features for Virtuozzo Infrastructure
Disk Attachment with generic incremental
Storage-backend-independent incrementals via block-level comparison, coordinated through the OpenStack-compatible APIs — so you get true incrementals regardless of the underlying storage.
Agentless architecture
No in-guest agents to deploy or maintain across a growing Virtuozzo cloud.
Multi-tenant, tag-based policies
Assign VMs to policies by tag or name and keep each tenant's data isolated — the foundation for backup-as-a-service.
Application-consistent snapshots
Quiesced snapshots (hypervisor-dependent) with pre/post command execution, plus an available-space snapshot check before running.
Granular and file-level restore
Recover full VMs, exclude individual disks, restore single files, or access a backed-up disk over iSCSI.
Flexible backup destinations
Send backups to local storage, S3-compatible object storage, or tape.
Immutable, air-gapped security
IsoLayer air-gap, immutable backup destinations, retention lock, RBAC and access management, and Keycloak MFA.
Subscription BaaS licensing
Per-VM and subscription "pay as you grow" models that fit a service provider's portfolio.
Open REST API and Storware Insight
A documented REST API for portal and workflow integration, plus optional daily health reporting for faster support response.
