FAQs
Self-hosted deployment gives you complete control over your backup infrastructure. This option is ideal for organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements, those with existing on-premises infrastructure investments, or MSPs who need to offer customized backup services to multiple clients. The self-hosted option provides enhanced security controls, integration capabilities, and compliance options for highly regulated industries.
To successfully deploy Zmanda Pro Self-Hosted, your team should have:
- Basic Windows or Linux server administration skills
- Experience with SSL certificates and networking
- Understanding of backup infrastructure requirements
- Familiarity with server hardware or virtual machine management
Zmanda Pro Self-Hosted is licensed based on the number of protected devices and servers, not on storage capacity. This predictable pricing model ensures you don't face unexpected costs as your data grows. Volume discounts are available for larger deployments, and MSPs can benefit from special partner licensing programs.
Yes! Zmanda Pro Self-Hosted is designed to work with virtually any storage destination.
You can back up to:

The primary difference is internet connectivity and licensing validation:
Self-Hosted requires periodic internet connectivity for license validation and updates. It's ideal for organizations that want infrastructure control but don't have air-gapped security requirements.
Self-Hosted Offline uses offline licensing with no internet connectivity requirement. This deployment is designed for highly secure environments where systems cannot connect to external networks. Updates and licensing are managed manually through secure processes.
