How is i2Backup licensed?

Offers perpetual and subscription licensing. Licensing is available based on the protected workload, including per-socket for VM Backup, per-database server, per-server, or per-terabyte for File/NAS Backup. You can contact sales to request quote.

Which Platforms are agentless, and which need an agent?

Most Hypervisor and big data platforms are agentless, such as VMware, Hyper-V, OpenStack, Huawei Cloud Stack, HDFS, HIVE. Physical server and database use a lightweight agent so we can track block changes and capture logs. Feel free to contact our support team to discuss your environment.

Where does backup data actually live?

Wherever you point it: local storage, a second site, tape, or object storage in your own cloud account. i2Backup is deployed and operated by you — we never hold your data — and a single job can write to several targets to avoid a single point of failure.

How does it stop ransomware reaching the backups?

Backup repositories are isolated from production credentials, restore points are immutable for their retention period, and point-in-time recovery lets you roll back to the last clean copy. Pair with an offline tape or second-site copy for the air-gapped tier.

Can i2Backup handle our complex hybrid environment (physical, virtual, databases, cloud, big data)?

Yes! i2Backup is designed for modern complexity. We seamlessly protect physical servers (Windows, Linux, Unix), major VM hypervisors, such as VMware, OpenStack, etc. most enterprise databases (SQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc.), big data platforms, including HIVE, HDFS. And you can save business backup to cloud, local storage, NAS, deduplication storage and all kinds of locations.
