You can put SpeedKit into full utilization with forever incremental backup, and the unique feature designed by Vinchin will work as CBT alternative to quickly identify changed data blocks for faster OpenStack volume backups.

lan-free-backup

deduplication-&-compression

Deduplication & Compression

Vinchin Deduplication and Compression are two powerful data reduction techniques that can be used for effective backup storage saving. Deduplication works to detect duplicate data blocks especially the zeroed data blocks, and only back up unique data blocks, while compression helps to reduce the backup size of an instance by at least 50% by compressing deduplicated data blocks.

file-level-recovery

File-level Recovery

When some files are mistakenly deleted or an application is corrupted by accident, you can fully utilize Vinchin Granular Restore for quick file-level recovery. It allows you to select target files or folders you want in a restore point of the instance, and directly download and transfer them back to the original destination without implementing full instance recovery.

bitdetector

BitDetector

This Vinchin unique technology mainly focuses on the detection and exclusion of swap files, partition gaps and unpartitioned spaces to remain only written valuable data in backup repository during OpenStack backup process, raising valid backup data rate per unit of job running time.

cloud-archive

Data can be backed up distributedly to multiple backup depositories, and you can easily manage all nodes still through the default web console.

offsite-backup-copy

To reach higher data availability, you can choose to save independent backup copies of local production data in offsite data center. In case both local production and backup environment are damaged, your offsite backup copy of the latest restore point is still available for restoring target instance back to local or offsite OpenStack data center.

Supported Platforms for OpenStack Backup

  • Mitaka and later versions (Need Ceph/NetApp/Promise as production storage)

Robust VM Backup

automated-openstack-backup

Combining this with application-aware MySQL, MS SQL Server, and Oracle DB backups that Vinchin supports, both of your system files and databases in the OpenStack environment can be well protected at ease.

LAN-Free Data Transport

Besides traditional LAN-based data transport, Vinchin Backup & Recovery also supports users to back up instances in OpenStack environments via LAN-Free path which relies on direct SAN (Storage Area Network) access, without affecting the production network. It works to boost instance backup speed and shorten backup windows, so that high data volumes can be efficiently backed up even during business hours.

Backup Storage Savings

Vinchin Backup & Recovery uses multiple data reduction technologies to effectively reduce the size of your backup data for optimized backup storage utilization. Deduplication features helps ensure only unique data blocks are saved, and compression feature is able to release at least 50% of your original incremental backup data size.

In this way, even if disaster hits your primary production environment, there're still highly available backup copies ready for effective disaster recovery.

Long-Term Data Retention

With Vinchin Backup Archive, such requirements can be fully met. You can establish your own backup archive plans on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for critical data generated in different instances, making sure all the infrequently-used yet important history data all can be safely kept in the cloud.

Backup Data Encryption

Vinchin Backup & Recovery will simultaneously encrypt your OpenStack backups when they're transferred to the backup repository, so that eavesdroppers can't access any files even if they get the backup data during data transfer process. Once data encryption feature is enabled, password verification will be required when you need to restore any of the encrypted backup data, which secures that the data will be used by the right user. The feature will be available when you configure local backups, backup copies, onsite/cloud archives and backup imports from detached storages.
