Pro is €150.00 per month with tape, database, and virtual machine backup. Gold costs €290.00 per month and includes all-in-one backup features, database and virtual machine protection, and cloud, tape, FTP, and Drive Image backup.

VM Backup

VM Backup is Hornetsecurity’s backup and replication software for virtual machines running on Hyper-V, VMware, and Proxmox. It runs on Windows hosts and can schedule live backups as often as every five minutes without downtime. Recovery options include restoring a whole VM or selected files and Exchange items, moving a restore to another host, and starting a VM from backup. It supports management of the three hypervisors from one console, with a separate console for remote installations. Listed destinations include Microsoft Azure, Impossible Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, and Wasabi; the product also lists AES-256 encryption and a monitor that checks backup storage integrity and may attempt repairs in a later job. VMware backups can be restored to Hyper-V and vice versa. Proxmox LXC container backups are unsupported, and the listed requirements say Proxmox replication and CDP were not yet available in that version information. Free Edition covers two VMs per host; a fully featured trial lasts 30 days.
