It's available in 3 versions: LE, Pro and Enterprise. The LE version is available for free and offers: • Complete 100% backups of all your virtual machines every day • Faster then other virtual backup solutions. Realistic backups speeds from 17 GB an hour to 100 GB an hour • No local /vmfs or ext3 space is required on the host • Run multiple backups per day, instead of multiple days per backup • Backup to Linux, Windows or any other server using FTP • Each host runs autonomously, not from a centralized host. No single point of failure • Menu driven, no scripting required • Simple installation on host server • Restore FULL backups easily through the PHD Menu, which pulls the backup directly from the backup server • No Additional local space is required to restore a FULL backup. You only need enough local /vmfs space to recreate the restored FULL VMDK backup • No software is actually required to restore a FULL backup, it just makes it simpler • Simple reporting on the backup FTP server. Hosts, Days, VMDK, Space • Complete integration with our GUI front-end (coming soon) • 60 Day esXpress Pro Intelligent Delta plug-in demo "As far as I understand after 60 days only the Intelligent Delta plug-in will be disabled granting a complete backup solution for free." Thanks to Virtualization.info for the news.
