ZStack Cloud Backup Solution

Information2 delivers agentless, automated enterprise-grade data protection for your ZStack Cloud.

Why is ZStack Cloud Backup Vital?

ZStack Cloud hosts your enterprise's core business operations and data, making its stability critical. However, relying solely on the native snapshot is insufficient to address all data risks. True backup requires a second, independent copy of your data. Deploying a professional data backup solution for your ZStack environment is a necessary step in building a robust enterprise data security framework.

Disaster Recovery Needs

A standalone data copy, independent of production storage, is essential for rapid recovery in the event of a data center failure.

Limitations of Native Tools

ZStack snapshots are coupled with production storage. Managing backup policies for numerous VMs is cumbersome, and recovery granularity can be inflexible.

Logical Errors & Malicious Attacks

Accidental deletion, ransomware, and other threats are leading causes of data loss, which snapshots cannot prevent.

Compliance & Long-Term Retention

Industry regulations often require data backups to be retained for months or years, a requirement difficult and costly to meet with snapshots.

Comprehensive ZStack Backup Solution

Agentless Backup

Data is retrieved directly through the ZStack platform APIs, eliminating the need to install agents on every virtual machine. This drastically simplifies deployment and management and has a near-zero impact on production performance.

Automated VM Discovery & Policy Deployment

Supports automatic discovery of virtual machines within the ZStack environment. New VMs can be automatically added to existing backup policies based on attributes like name or physical location, enabling fully automated backup management.

Granular Backup and Recovery Strategies

Supports full, incremental, and differential backups, efficiently conserving storage space and minimizing backup windows.
Supports full VM recovery, cross-machine recovery, and file-level recovery. For file recovery, backup sets can be remotely mounted to directly browse and download individual files without restoring the entire VM.

Enterprise-Grade Data Management

Encryption in Transit & at Rest: Supports transmission encryption (AES, SM4) and backup data encryption, ensuring end-to-end data security.
Bandwidth Throttling: Allows scheduling of backup time windows and setting bandwidth rates to prevent backup tasks from impacting production network performance.
Centralized Management: A unified, B/S architecture web console provides management for all backup tasks and resources.

Benefits from i2Backup for ZStack Cloud Protection

Compatibility & Reliability

i2Backup officially supports ZStack 4.4.60. Its deep integration via platform APIs ensures backup task stability and consistency.

Comprehensive Ecosystem Support

Protects not only ZStack VMs but also mainstream databases (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and big data platforms (e.g., HDFS, HIVE) running within the environment, enabling complete coverage from a single platform.

Flexible Storage Options

media, including local disk, ZFS, NAS, object storage (S3-compatible), and deduplication storage, which can be combined into pools to meet different cost and performance requirements.
