vConverter DR from Vizioncore can be an excellent DR solution.

vConverter SC from Vizioncore is a Freeware.

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

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

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…. -:(

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

Download and test.
