Features

Key features & benefits for VMware users

Standalone backup software solution (Cristie CloneManager plus Cristie Virtual Appliance UI), limits the need for extra infrastructure or management, also saving you storage space, network bandwidth, processing power and management resources.

Meet aggressive service level agreements, recovery time and point objectives (SLAs, RTOs, RPOs) with single file restore up to complete VM recovery for all supported operating systems.

Scripts can be run just before or after the pre back up snapshot is taken providing full control over the content of your virtual machine backup.

Backup multiple hosts with central management, scalable up to thousands of VMs and designed for optimal network traffic, speed and storage efficiency. Local backup restores as fast as the environment will allow. 

Easy, secure, mobile access using the Cristie Virtual Appliance (VA) – with complete transparency, so you can manage multiple, simultaneous system recoveries onsite or remotely.
Replicate your backups to Amazon S3 or Amazon S3 compatible storage. Ensure you always have a copy of your backups, should the worst happen.

How P4VM works

Learn more about P4VM.

P4VM (now integrated into CloneManager) is a simple backup and recovery solution for Virtual Machines running on vSphere. It creates a backup of your entire system as well as the data files and databases that you specify into a standard VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) file. Using the Cristie Virtual Appliance (VA) the frequency of backups can be set at VM level; from intervals of 3 hours up to monthly.  

P4VM can protect multiple VMs, across numerous hosts from a centralized console. In the event of system failure or human error, the software provides rapid recovery.

Recovery is reliable and the backup is stored in the native format, so is less likely to corrupt. To protect against backed-up malware or corruption, you can rely on retained backup history to revert back to the last identified clean point in time, which adds an extra layer of vital protection for critical machines.  

P4VM is easy and simple to use through CloneManager and the VA, giving remote management and complete transparency. The VA also provides management of other Cristie solutions such as Cristie Recovery BMR.  

Use P4VM (CloneManager) to back up to the DR site locally, then add continuous incremental synced backups for ongoing protection.
