The Importance of KayGrid Protection

KayGrid environments host critical virtual machines and business workloads, making their data vulnerable to hardware failures, accidental deletion, system errors, and cyberattacks. Reliable backup and recovery helps organizations protect VM data, recover from unexpected incidents, and maintain business continuity.

Protect Critical VM Data

Protect Critical VM Data

Back up KayGrid VMs regularly to prevent data loss caused by hardware failures, human errors, or system issues.

Recover from Unexpected Incidents

Recover from Unexpected Incidents

Keep recoverable copies of VM data so workloads can be restored after failures, accidental deletion, or other disruptions.

Maintain Business Continuity

Maintain Business Continuity

Reliable backups provide a recovery path when KayGrid workloads become unavailable, helping reduce downtime and keep critical services running.

Key Capabilities of Modern KayGrid Protection

Protect All Critical Workloads

How Vinchin Performs KayGrid Protection

Forever Incremental Backup
Instant VM Recovery
Deduplication & Compression
File-Level Recovery
Off-site Backup Copy & Cloud Archiving
Forever Incremental Backup

Vinchin uses forever incremental backups combined with Change Block Tracking (CBT). After the initial full backup, only changed data blocks are captured without extra snapshots, significantly shortening backup windows for KayGrid VMs.

Instant VM Recovery

In case of a system failure or disaster, Vinchin allows you to restore KayGrid VMs in just 15 seconds with Instant Restore. The restored VM can access backup data in backup repository just like accessing its own local file system.

Deduplication and Compression

Vinchin's deduplication and compression reduce backup sizes. Deduplication removes duplicate data, while compression shrinks the data even further, by at least 50%. This not only saves storage space but also makes managing backups more efficient.

File-Level Recovery

Vinchin offers granular restore for KayGrid, letting you quickly locate and download individual files or folders from a VM backup instead of restoring the entire virtual machine.

Off-site Backup Copy and Cloud Archiving

Vinchin supports both offsite backup copies and archiving to cloud platforms like AWS S3, AlibabaCloud, and Azure Blob Storage, fulfilling the 3-2-1 backup rule so KayGrid VMs can still be restored remotely if primary backups fail.
