Simplified deployments

VMware vSphere client is built into Zmanda Backup Appliance (ZBA). It's a pre-loaded VM, licensed and configured with Amanda Enterprise to help back up all virtual machines running on the same hypervisor as the appliance. Zmanda VMware backup is a cost-effective alternative, versus licensing for each virtual machine in the environment.

Block-level differential backups

VMware Backup with Zmanda tracks the blocks that have changed since the last full backup. During a differential VMware backup run, only changed blocks are backed up. This makes differential backups faster as well as reduces the amount of backup data transferred and stored. During recovery, a full backup image will automatically be combined with the relevant differential backup image.

Efficient VMware backup storage

Optimizing backup runs matter across an enterprise of 1000s of machines. Thus in Zmanda, only those blocks that are being used by the VM are backed up. Zmanda's VMware Backup skips the unused raw space on the VMDKs, considerably reducing the size of backup images and improving the efficiency of backup runs.
