Zmanda Hyper-V Backup simplifies protection
Encryption
With Zmanda Hyper-V backup, you can be sure that your data won’t be accessed by someone who shouldn’t have access to it.
Compression
Backup size matters. We thus use industry-standard compression algorithms, also preventing vendor lockins.
Cross-Platform Restore
You can restore data from a backup to a host with a different operating system. That simplifies the disaster recovery process.
Hybrid Cloud Architecture
Balancing workloads across multiple cloud providers shouldn't be complex. Zmanda ensures all configurations are seamlessly managed from a single console.
Wide Platform Support
We offer extensive and up-to-date support across a wide range of servers and client Operating Systems, including Mac OS X.
Simple, Flexible Backups
Supports full and multi-level incremental backups using industry-standard data formats such as GNU-tar and star.
Key features
Saved second state
Hyper-V client uses the Saved State Method as its default backup mechanism. In this method, the VM is put into a saved state during snapshot processing. Snapshots are taken of the appropriate volumes, and the VM is returned to the previous state as part of the post-snapshot event.
Child VM snapshots
We also support the Child VM Snapshot method, which uses the VSS writers inside the Hyper-V child virtual machine to participate in the backup. This ensures that backups happen when the system is online and due to the nature of the Child VM Snapshots - this backup process is application aware.
Backup Process
Zmanda client needs to be installed at the hypervisor level to back up VMs. An active Hyper-V licence for each hypervisor is required.
Full Backups
Virtual Machine Hyper-V backups are always full backups. Incremental vs Differential Backups are not supported

FAQs
Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware. Zmanda helps enterprises achieve Microsoft Hyper-V backups and objectives - even during major IT outages. IT teams can expect robust Hyper-V backup strategies. Zmanda is a powerful backup and recovery offering for a price less than you would expect.
Hyper-V is a type-1, native hypervisor designed by Microsoft, which allows creating and managing multiple virtualized versions of a computer, called virtual machines (VMs). Hyper-V provides a virtualization platform on which you can build IT infrastructure of any level of complexity. Each VM, in this case, is running in its own isolated space, without interfering with the processes in other VMs.

Amanda is designed to handle large numbers of clients and data, yet is reasonably simple to install and maintain. It scales well up and down, so small configurations, even a single client, are possible. There are many users who back up just a single client that is also the Amanda server. On the other hand, many Amanda users backup hundreds and even thousands of file systems (there could be multiple file systems per protected system) to a large tape library with multiple drives.
