Xopero V.3.9.6 for Backup&Restore and Qnap Appliance

Xopero Software SA released an update for its two local backup solutions – Xopero Backup&Restore and Xopero QNAP Appliance.

Recent months show that the company focused on its DR technology development. The result of these works is the firm’s Image Tool, a free stand-alone application which allows fast image conversion to any other format supported by hypervisors like Hyper-V, VMware, Virtualbox and KVM. At the same time, the firm also worked on expanding the core DR technology – Smart Recovery – to the Backup&Restore solution. And today five weeks after the premiere of XIT, the company releases this update.

Backup&Restore DR
The company’s DR technology (named Smart Recovery) was released about one year ago – and first have been available on Xopero QNAP Appliance. Now the producer extended this tech to its other local backup solution – the Backup&Restore. What does this mean? From now on the virtualization of physical and VMs (DR after a failure) is much faster. Users can also restore and run machines directly on the Xopero server.

People which use Virtualbox will be pleased with the fact that the company enables now an automatic adaptation of the machine to the virtualizer, including drivers reset. In addition, the Virtualbox Extension Pack plug-in users can use the automatic RDP (remote desktop protocol) connection while the VM is already running.

Extended use of HDD image backup images
Now users can quickly launch and run a VM image in any virtualizer. This became possible thanks to changes in the HDD image restoration process. The .vmdk files are now created with the machine image during the restore. Users can also access the backed up data through other tools that support this format – such as Virtualbox. A .vmdk metadata file added in this way also allows simple conversion and fast reversion to the format supported by the Xopero software – and thus the use of the full feature set provided by this platform.

Support for Firebird databases with GDB extension
From now on users can use Xopero to secure the Firebird databases with this specific extension.
Improved Hyper-V import
Users can now import multiple Hyper-V machines at once – and the process itself runs at the virtualizer level.
Improved VM export
The solution allows to stop VMs export any time. Now if the user has chosen the wrong machine, he can finish exporting it with a snap of the finger.

What else?

Support for Windows Server 2016,
Image Tool as a integral part of Xopero QNAP Appliance and Xopero Backup & Restore packages,
Update 3.9.6 provides the possibility to launch an image backup in the VMware and Virtualbox environment,
