You manage a mix of VMs, physical servers, SaaS apps, and disaster recovery needs—and need a backup platform that’s powerful but not overwhelming. Vembu BDRSuite (self-hosted) and BDRCloud (managed version) deliver enterprise-grade protection with clarity. In this post, we’ll focus on what Vembu is, how it works structurally, and why it’s a compelling solution today. No deep dive into configuration yet—just a clear overview of its capabilities, workflows, and use cases based on the latest product documentation and release notes.
TL;DR
Centralized, MSP-ready console: Self-hosted or BDRCloud UI, multi-tenancy, role-based access, remote proxies, email-token recovery, email alerts, and reporting
Vembu ensures one platform covers all your backups without juggling multiple tools.
Cloud VMs & databases: Supports AWS EC2, Azure VMs, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Exchange [Insert image/table/example]
Real-world scenario:
Imagine you manage 50 virtual servers across VMware and Proxmox, plus 20 physical endpoints and Microsoft 365 data. With Vembu, you set one schedule that covers all workloads—no additional consoles or agents needed (except lightweight endpoint agents).
Choose where and how your data is stored—Vembu adapts to your setup.
BDRCloud: Fully-managed cloud console with backup to any storage—no infrastructure needed
Example:
An MSP can backup a client's VMware environment locally for quick restores, replicate to immutable object storage for tamper resistance, and use BDRCloud for long-term retention and DR readiness.
Strong backup is useless unless recoverable and secure—Vembu covers both.
Instant recovery & failback: Boot VMs instantly, live migrate, support Hyper‑V failback with network/IP remapping
Scenario:
During a ransomware incident, you identify a clean backup. Vembu lets you boot the VM instantly from backup, verify its integrity, and migrate it live back into production—all with confidence that attackers haven’t compromised the data.
One pane of glass, multiple tenants, total control.
Example:
As an MSP, you deploy a remote proxy at each location, assign tenant-specific console access, and enable email-token for recovery—reduces risk, increases autonomy for clients.
Virtual (VMware, Hyper‑V, KVM, Proxmox, oVirt), physical, SaaS, cloud VMs, databases, and file shares.
Yes—WORM immutable object storage support is built-in.
Yes—automated boot, mount, and integrity checks are included (even in the free edition).
Optional—but available for recovery jobs to add a layer of security.
Hyper‑V VM failback, IP mapping, remote Linux proxies, multi‑tenant host support, and enhanced verification.
