Why choose Zmanda Pro over
Google Cloud’s native backup

Storing backups on Google Cloud Storage gives you durability and global availability. Zmanda Pro makes backup to Google Cloud storage practical by optimizing how your data gets there and how much you pay. Here's what sets it apart:

Unified cross-platform management Back up your entire hybrid infrastructure—on-premises servers, VMware, Hyper-V, databases, and cloud workloads to Google Cloud Storage from a single console.

Zmanda Pro centralizes policy management, scheduling, and reporting across all protected systems, with GCS as your unified storage destination.

Optimized for cloud storage efficiency - Zmanda Pro reduces data before it reaches Google Cloud Storage. Client-side deduplication and compression cut storage consumption by up to 90%.

Forever-incremental backups minimize daily upload volumes, and bandwidth throttling prevents backup jobs from saturating your network which results in lower GCS storage bills and faster backup windows.

Predictable pricing - Google Cloud Storage charges per-GB-month, so costs rise as your data grows. Zmanda Pro flips this model with per-endpoint licensing.

Software costs stay flat whether you're backing up 1TB or 100TB per server. Since Zmanda Pro reduces data before it reaches GCS, your storage bills stay controlled even as your environment scales.

How Zmanda Pro helps you backup
to Google Cloud storage

Connect your GCS buckets - Link your existing Google Cloud Storage bucket as your backup destination and configure access credentials.

Protect all workloads - Back up servers, VMs, databases, Microsoft 365, NAS, and bare-metal systems from on-premises, VMware, Hyper-V, or cloud environments to GCS.

Optimize for efficiency - Forever-incremental backups, client-side deduplication, compression, and bandwidth throttling reduce storage costs and backup windows.

Restore with confidence - Retrieve data from any backup point with fast restores.

Features & capabilities

Unified hybrid and multi-cloud management

Unlike Google's Backup and DR Service which only covers Google Cloud resources, Zmanda Pro manages backups across your entire IT estate from one console. Back up Google Cloud VMs, on-premises servers, VMware, Hyper-V, databases, and Microsoft 365 to Google Cloud Storage—eliminating the need for multiple backup tools.

Bandwidth-efficient cloud transfers

Forever-incremental backups mean only changed data blocks are sent to Google Cloud Storage after the initial backup. Combined with bandwidth throttling, backup jobs run without saturating your network or dragging on for hours.

Massive storage cost savings through deduplication

Google Backup and DR lacks client-side deduplication. Zmanda Pro reduces storage by up to 90% through intelligent deduplication and compression before data reaches Google Cloud Storage, dramatically lowering your monthly storage bills as data grows.

Predictable per-endpoint pricing model

Avoid per-GB pricing surprises. Zmanda Pro's per-endpoint licensing means the same flat cost whether you're backing up 1TB or 100TB per server. This delivers up to 50% lower TCO than competitors and predictable budgets as your data scales.

FAQs

Up to 90% through client-side deduplication, forever-incremental backups, and compression—before data reaches Google Cloud Storage. Since Google Backup and DR doesn't offer deduplication, you pay for every duplicate data block. With Zmanda Pro, deduplication happens at the source, slashing storage bills by 5-10x compared to native solutions.

Servers (Windows/Linux), VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, databases (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) with application awareness, Microsoft 365 (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams), NAS/file shares, disk images, and bare-metal recovery data. All manageable from one console.

Google charges per-GB-month plus egress fees—costs increase as your data grows. Zmanda Pro charges per endpoint (server/VM/workload) regardless of data size. Back up 1TB or 100TB from a server—same price. This provides budget predictability and massive savings at scale, especially combined with 90% storage reduction through deduplication.

Yes, Zmanda Pro integrates with your own GCS buckets. Alternatively, choose Zmanda Cloud Storage which includes ingress/egress fees in predictable per-TB pricing—eliminating Google Cloud egress surprises and simplifying billing.

Zmanda Pro encrypts all data client-side before transmission, so your backups are protected before they leave your environment. Data is also deduplicated and compressed to minimize storage footprint.
