High-Performance Backups

The Catalogic DPX Agentless Backup for VMware combines several key technologies of Catalogic Software and VMware to provide high-performance, low-overhead backups:

• VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) enables off-host backup of virtual machines through DPX proxy servers. This dramatically reduces overhead allowing for frequent backups without affecting VM users and critical applications.

• DPX Virtualization proxy servers provide parallel load balancing for multiple VMs and associated virtual disks, promoting faster backups.

• VMware Change Block Tracking is utilized to recognize and back up only changed blocks. This improves backup performance by minimizing CPU, reducing storage needs, and reducing network overhead.
