Description: Hypervisor-Based Backup is a backup solution that operates at the hypervisor level to protect virtual machines. This technique allows for backing up virtual machines without the need to install agents on each one, simplifying the backup and recovery process. By operating at the hypervisor level, which is the software that enables the creation and management of virtual machines, it can access the data and states of virtual machines more efficiently. This solution is especially relevant in virtualization environments, where multiple virtual machines may be running on a single physical server. Key features include the ability to perform hot backups, meaning without interrupting the operation of virtual machines, and the capability to quickly and effectively restore entire systems or individual files. Additionally, Hypervisor-Based Backup can integrate with cloud storage solutions, allowing organizations to leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud to securely and accessibly store their backups. In summary, this technique has become an essential tool for data protection in virtualized environments, ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery.
