Altaro VM Backup Solution for Hyper-V and VMware

Altaro VM Backup is well-established as the VM backup solution for Hyper-V and VMware.

The company is also enabling customers to backup their physical servers through its latest offering, the firm’s Physical Server Backup – with the plus point that it is free of charge.

Companies with virtualised environments sometimes also have some physical machines and these too require data protection. The preference is often to achieve this via the same vendor.

Freeware physical to virtual (P to V) solution
As a physical to virtual – or P to V – solution, the firm’s Physical Server Backup meets this need by permitting users to backup physical servers and restore the backed up physical server to a virtual environment.

This initial release is being offered as freeware, with community forum support. Future releases of this product will include additional functionality.

“We are delighted to expand our portfolio of backup solutions by providing our customers and partners with a reliable physical server backup solution, enabling them to backup their physical servers and restore them in virtual format,” said David Vella, co-founder and CEO, Altaro.
