How does oVirt Backup work with BDRSuite?

Step 1 - Agent-Based oVirt Backup: BDRSuite utilizes an agent-based backup solution for oVirt, allowing for in-depth data protection while efficiently managing backup processes.

Step 2 - Snapshot Creation: The backup process begins with creating a snapshot of the oVirt VM, capturing the entire state, including the operating system, disks, and files, ensuring a consistent point-in-time backup.

Step 3 - Secure Data Transfer: Backup data is securely transferred to the designated repository, whether local storage or cloud-based, with encryption to maintain data integrity.

Step 4 - Incremental Backups: After the initial full backup, BDRSuite performs incremental backups, capturing only the changes made since the last backup, optimizing both time and storage.

Step 5 - Data Retention and Management: BDRSuite provides flexible retention policy options, allowing organizations to define the duration for which they wish to retain oVirt VM backup data.

Step 6 - Flexible Recovery Options: In case of data loss, BDRSuite offers a variety of recovery options, including entire VM restores, individual disk and volume recovery, and granular recovery for specific files and folders.
