Workloads Zmanda Protects, including ZRM Community

Where tradition meets innovation

Zmanda was founded through the pursuit of playing around and creating new things. It was never a goal to be a player in the backup and recovery space. It was all from a dire to do something which would matter; about building a solution which would help users manage their backups efficiently and promote a more empowering community. And, we’ve come a long way.

81.5% native

C and Perl constitute 81.5 percent of the codebase. It was natively writtern to ensure strong compatibility with Linux flavours.

Linux journal award

Voted as the most reliable platform for Linux and UNIX users who are comfortable with a command-line interface.

Chosen by millions

Amanda community is also available in Binaries form for most common operating systems and distributions.

More innovation with every release

Parse binary logs

MySQL binary logs can host millions of database transactions. ZRM Comunity allows for easy reading of binary logs to find anomalies in database events, which aid extensively in operational and security audits.

On-the-fly compression

Safeguard your data while going easy on your storage by configuring on-the-fly compression alongside encryption. This ensures your backup needs are addressed without compromising on performance.

Intelligent scheduler

You define the backup thresholds, and ZRM automatically optimizes each backup run. Factors such as MySQL server, storage engine, and underlying storage technology are all considered to give you the best performance.

Unified recovery mechanism

ZRM simplifies recovery using a unified recovery mechanism. We make it easy to recover data that were backed up differently, eg., if half your data was backed up through raw backups and the other half, was through logical backups, ZRM would be able to help out.

Data you control

Since ZRM Community does not use any proprietary data formats, you can restore your MySQL databases even without ZRM. You’re not held accountable for any proprietary hardware or paid licensing.

Restores you can trust

Data integrity is crucial. Checksums are used to validate that your backups are reliable, giving you the confidence to build customizable setups and reassuring that during a restore event, you can trust your backups.

Our customers make a strong case, hear it from them
