The Altaro user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it easy to implement a reliable backup strategy. At the same time, backup and restore jobs can be configured as needed and managed effectively – even across multiple hosts. It gives you not only full control, but also real scalability: The monitoring and administration of all your Hyper-V and VM-Ware hosts is handled smoothly via a console.
Optimal control over backups
For ease of managing and configuring backup jobs, powerful features are available, such as offsite backup replication with WAN acceleration, as well as options for recovering files and Exchange items to the smallest detail or the automatic verification of the backups and much more.
Most importantly, you can implement Continuous Data Protection (CDP): just have the backup done every five minutes to make sure that even in a volatile situation, only data that is produced in that short period of time will be lost. They thus optimize the recovery point objectives (RPO) to a considerable extent.
You can stay flexible without sacrificing complexity: simply select a virtual machine and drag it to your preferred backup schedules and retention policies.

Altaro scores with the best deduplication
Another highlight of the Altaro VM backup solution is advanced inline deduplication, which dramatically reduces the storage footprint of your entire backup repository. This is where Altaro sets itself apart from its competitors, and it is no coincidence that this solution is referred to as the best duplication of the entire industry: the smallest backups can be realized.
Your advantage: Since deduplication is carried out comprehensively for all backup jobs, it is not necessary to create VM groups and thus postprocessing. But with less storage space for your backups, users also benefit from faster backup and restore speeds. The reason is obvious: less data has to be transferred. The effect naturally increases with each additional Altaro backup.
The special feature: This extended inline deduplication does not cost you anything in terms of server performance. Not only are the smallest backups created, but Altaro also uses variable block sizes to ensure optimal efficiency. But you also have the option of archiving different backup variants in addition to the continuous backups: simply set up separate backup cycles and save the backup versions created on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis as required.
Altaro Software - an excellent partner
In summary, the Altaro solution scores with an interesting portfolio of enterprise functionalities. In addition to inline deduplication and replication, this is especially the ability to store backups in the cloud or at remote sites. Scope of service is more rounded off with the granular recovery variants, such as Exchange emails, single files or VMs, the special Boot from Backup feature, and several other features.
Altaro specializes in the use of backup software in small and medium businesses – and has so far convinced thousands around the world. With the free version, which will be available for a limited time, and above all with the qualified support team, Altaro sets its own standards. From our point of view, however, it is the numerous positive experiences that many different customers have been able to make in difficult situations that clearly speak in favor of this backup software and the company behind it.
