Made for Hyper-V

Saved state

By default, SIMPANIX uses the Saved State method. The VM pauses for a moment while SIMPANIX takes a snapshot. Then the VM goes back to how it was.

Child VM snapshots

SIMPANIX also supports Child VM Snapshots. This method uses VSS inside the VM. The VM stays online during the backup, and the backup knows about your apps.

How backup works

Install the SIMPANIX client on each Hyper-V host to back up its VMs. Each host needs an active Hyper-V license.

Full backups only

Hyper-V VM backups are always full backups. Incremental and differential backups are not supported.

Architecture

You choose where. We protect it.

Back up data from any system. Store it where you want: cloud, on-prem, hybrid, tape or disk.

What is Microsoft Hyper-V?

Hyper-V is Microsoft’s tool for virtual machines. A virtual machine (VM) is a computer made in software. Each VM runs its own operating system and programs. VMs save time and money, and they use hardware better than one system per physical server.

SIMPANIX backs up your Hyper-V VMs, so you can recover even after a big IT outage.

What is the difference between VMware and Hyper-V?

Hyper-V is Microsoft’s hypervisor. It runs many VMs on one server. Each VM runs on its own and does not affect the others.

VMware vSphere is VMware’s set of tools for VMs. It includes the ESXi hypervisor, vSphere Client, vCenter and more. Together they let you manage all your VMs from one place.

SIMPANIX backs up and restores both Hyper-V and VMware vSphere.

Which Hyper-V versions do you support?

We support Windows Server 2019, 2016, 2012 and 2008 R2. See the compatibility matrix for the full list.

Can SIMPANIX grow with us?

Yes. SIMPANIX can handle many systems and a lot of data, and it is still simple to install and run. It works for small setups, even one computer that is also the backup server. It also works for very large setups that back up thousands of file systems to big tape libraries.
