Since you have landed on this page, we believe you opted to exit VMware. So pretty sure your organization is looking for backup strategies beyond VMware, which ensures the resilience and accessibility of the critical data. Adopting a comprehensive backup strategy that goes beyond vendor limitations can significantly enhance the data protection capabilitiesThis strategic shift can offer greater flexibility, scalability, and potential cost savings compared to relying solely on VMware's private solutions. 

Importance of Backups 

Backups are essential for protecting your data from loss due to hardware failure, software corruption, natural disasters, or even human error. They allow you to recover your data quickly and easily, minimizing downtime and data loss. 

Different types of backup solutions are available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The best backup solution for any business will depend on its specific needs and budget. 

Types of Backup Solutions 

Some of the most common types of VMware backup solutions are: 

  • Cloud backup 

Cloud backup solutions store the data in a remote data center. This is a great option for businesses that want to protect their data from physical disasters. 

  • Hybrid backup 

Hybrid backup solutions combine cloud backup with on-premises backup. This gives the best of both environments 

    • scalability and security of cloud backup 

    • control and cost-effectiveness of on-premises backup 

  • On-premises backup 

On-premises backup solutions store the data on local storage devices. This is a good option for businesses that want to have complete control over their data.
