Thinware vBackup®
Simple, Effective, Backup and Recovery for Virtual Infrastructure

Virtual infrastructure is complex enough as it is... why over complicate your backup solution?

Thinware vBackup is an enterprise grade backup solution for virtual infrastructure that can be easily implemented in any size environment.

Reduce backup costs. Automate backup processes for an unlimited number of virtual machines using a single vBackup implementation.

Reduce down-time. Create full point-in-time backups without interruption to production systems.

Agent-free configuration. Perform agent-less backups of full virtual machines regardless of underlying operating system and without modification to systems being backed up.

Utilizes Off-host processing. Enables off-host backup of virtual machines accelerating backups and eliminating backup load from the ESX/ESXi host server.

What makes Thinware vBackup different from other virtual machine backup products?

Cost. At less than half the cost of our competition, vBackup is purpose built to help you facilitate high-priority backup operations, and by avoiding non-essential functionality and better utilizing available resources, we are better poised to offer our product at a price point that fits in any budget.
