Rectiphy Corporation has released ActiveImage Protector for Hyper-V with ReZoom v3.0 (AIP) which adds major enhancements to its live data, sector based, backup and restore solutions for Microsoft’s popular virtual environment. AIP for Hyper-V v3.0 adds powerful new features including speed enhancements, resource usage adjustment options, and the ability to combine incremental and full backup images for long term data storage. First released in North America in 2010, ActiveImage Protector was the first solution to include live data backups and the ability to restore individual Hyper-V VMs with patent-pending ReZoom technology. With this release, AIP becomes the first solution to support the next-generation of uEFI motherboards and GUID partition tables which add massive storage capabilities.
New features and benefits in ActiveImage Protector 3.0:
- ActiveImage Protector is the first backup solution to add support for next generation uEFI motherboards and GPT (GUID partition tables).
- File Consolidation and Unification Management now allows multiple incremental backups (Consolidation) or multiple incremental snap-shots along with the full base image (Unification) to be combined for long term data retention.
- Throttling options enable users to adjust system resource usage priorities and bandwidth usage.
- Bad Sector Skip is a function that continues to run backup processing even when unreadable or bad sectors are found on a failing hard drive so users can restore at least the remaining good sectors.
- Architecture Intelligent Restore (AIR) provides for the streamlined physical-to-virtual (P2V, V2V or V2P) migrations.
- Disk to Disk Copy enables users to quickly copy volumes and drives from one hard drive to another.
- Dual Recovery Environments support the latest service devices and reduced memory usage for fast bare metal recovery (BMR) and disaster recovery (DR).
- Smart Sector Technology enhancements now enable the backup of Linux partitions (in Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 formats) from Windows.
