vConverter DR from Vizioncore can be an excellent DR solution.


vConverter SC from Vizioncore is a Freeware.

vConverter-SC

vConverter SC is freeware, however the paid version – vConverter DR has some more features, like:

  • Full Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities for your physical servers.
  • Incremental changes to physical environment are regularly applied to virtual backup system.
  • Vizioncore’s vConverter DR has one key feature which I’m gonna talk about today. This feature is a Continuous Protection Mode.

    This feature just regularly updates these virtual backups with changes which are happening on the physical server.  I could imagine the use of backups like these. Imagine that you have your key physical servers protected like this with a software. The only think you must have is enough free space on your network storage to keep the backups…

    A VM’s like this are completely up to date (you can go down up to 1 minute of delta) and can be immediately utilized in the event of physical server problems or outages. The schedule is completely configurable.

    The process of adding a physical sytem to convert is quite straightforward:

    Just Select your physical system through the network :

    Right click > Add to Systems to convert

    vConverter-SC-01

    Then on the second tab you’ll see your system that you just selected.

    vConverter-SC-02

    As a destination you select your ESX server (just enter the credentials before)

    As I’m just trying the vConverter SC the Continuous protection is not available for me…. -:(

    vConverter-SC-03

    I found the product easy to use once you enter the default profile credentials, the scheduling capabilities are also great…

    Download and test.
