Using BackupChain Server Enterprise Edition you don’t need to install anything inside the VM, it is all handled on the host.
Rather than backing up the entire VM every hour you could create two separate tasks: one to run at night backing up the full VM using incremental deduplication, and one task running hourly backing up just the SQL data folders residing inside the VM. You want to back up the virtual machine every night but you would really want backups of SQL every hour. This innovative backup feature is only available in BackupChain: Often you want a full virtual disk backup nightly but you would like to back up specific files inside the VM more often.įor example, say you have a Windows VM running SQL Server. See What is Granular Restore? Granular Backup: Back Up Individual Files Inside the VM Without an Agent This feature is a valuable time saver and works for deduplicated backups, too, such as incremental and differential VMDK backups. Using BackupChain Server Enterprise Edition you can restore individual files and folders from your storage folder without the need to restore the entire virtual machine.
