NetJapan ActiveImage Protector 2018 Virtual Edition Software Updated

NetJapan, Inc. announces the ActiveImage Protector 2018 Virtual edition update.

This update includes the company’s HyperAgent, an agentless backup feature for backing up VMs or hosts.

Typical agent-based backup of VMs consume CPU and memory resources during various stages of backup. The HyperAgent, installed on a remote machine, runs the tasks, minimizing the consumption of CPU and memory resources on host and guest machines. HyperAgent on Microsoft Storage Server achieves storage driven VM backups. Backup an unlimited number of VMs from a single host using either agent-based or agentless methods.

ActiveImage Protector 2018 Virtual edition update utilizes iSCSI to serve backup images as iSCSI targets to any local or remote iSCSI initiator for attaching backup images as local disks; useful for recovering files and folders from a backup, and also enables booting of backup images on a physical machine or a hypervisor. Additionally, using VMware vMotion can streamline the recovery process by seamlessly migrating live VMs booted from the iSCSI disk to a hypervisor in a production environment.

Additional features:

Company’s Advanced VHDX Block Delta technology makes incremental backups of VMs without the need for an agent or drivers to be installed on the Hyper-V host.
Supports Microsoft Resilient Change Tracking for incremental backups of Hyper-V VMs.
HyperRestore restores physical or VM backups to dissimilar hypervisors.
Firm’s ImageIsolate technology reduces potential malware or ransomware attacks by disconnecting access to backup storage drives after backups complete.
HyperStandby uses the company’s vStandby technology to create and maintain standby VMs from backup images for instant switch-over.
Backup multiple VMs into a single image file to gain additional benefits from the firm’s Inline Data Deduplication Compression.
Scheduling options include selecting a monthly range, and then designate specific days within that range for backup tasks.
