Complete Disk Restoration – PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware, formerly esXpress utilizes a unique executable backup file format which allows you to restore any backed up virtual disk to any destination whether or not your users have access to the esXpress application or an up-to-date license. When restoring multiple VMs to a single VMFS, PHD Virtual Backup for VMware ESX leverages its block-level restoration process to restore all VMs to their exact state, automatically pre-allocating disks, without fragmenting the restored files on the host disk. This speeds up recovery times and improves post-restoration performance.

File-Level Restoration – PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware, formerly esXpress can also provide file-level access inside the backup data to enable the restoration of any file back to any VM from any point in time with a simple click via the PHD Virtual Backup 4.0 for VMware, formerly esXpress DeDupe Appliance console. This lets you perform file-level restoration without having to go through time-consuming virtual disk mounting procedures. Supports Windows FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, Simple Dynamic Volumes, Linux EXT2, EXT3, JFS and XFS filesystems.

TrueRestore™ Technology
While ensuring you have a good BACKUP is important, even more important is a successful RESTORE. PHD’s TrueRestore Technology not only ensures that the backup is created without errors, but also increases your confidence in a successful restore. While some vendors are just beginning to explore this capability, PHD TrueRestore™ Technology verifies that the data has been properly written to the backup target.

How does PHD TrueRestore™ Technology work?

• Data integrity is verified during both the backup and restore operations
• Self-healing data blocks on disk
• Patent-pending data protection schemes

OpenRestore™ Technology
PHD provides the capability to restore data without the need for any third party software. With proper credentials any user can connect with the host machine and run a restore, thus your data is always available. In addition, PHD’s unique self-restore capability allows you to restore data without access to the PHD software or license keys. This ensures recovery requirements are met in the event of a disaster as well as providing long-term data protection for compliance. Don’t allow your data to be held hostage!
