Key features to Linux Server backups

If you're looking for an easy-to-use, comprehensive Linux server backup solution that provides your business with the data protection it needs to remain operating, we're here for you. With quick disaster recovery, you can meet your compliance and security requirements and stay efficient. Get superior data resilience with robust features from our Linux backup service.

Intelligent scheduling

A unique scheduler optimizes the backup runs to equalize the total backup times from one backup run to the next. Network and hardware resources are used as efficiently as possible.

Manage sparse files

Optimize backup runs by using a Sparse file. Sparse files contain empty bytes that can be stored in the metadata and help reduce backup sizes.

Hybrid cloud backups

Seamlessly integrate with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and many more for long-term-retention, disaster recovery, and cloud-native backups. Easily assign Legacy Tapes for Vaults for compliance and cost-benefit reasons.

Real-time optimization

Zmanda scheduler optimizes Backup Runs across multiple clients to use Network and hardware resources as efficiently as possible.

Seamless restore

Linux files are restored using Zmanda Management Console or using amrecover command. Bulk restore to same/different hosts can be triggered using Express restore.

Why choose Zmanda for your linux server backups?

Simple, flexible backups

Supports full and multi-level incremental backups using industry-standard data formats such as GNU-tar and star for Linux.

Cross-platform restore

You can restore data from a backup to a host with a different operating system. That simplifies the disaster recovery process.

Manage sparse files

Optimize backup runs by using a Sparse file. Sparse files contain empty bytes that can be stored in the metadata and help reduce backup sizes.

Compression

Backup size matters. We thus use industry-standard compression algorithms, also preventing vendor lockins.

Encryption

With our Linux server backup solutions, you can be sure that your data won’t be accessed by someone who shouldn’t have access to it.

FAQs

Backups are important because they help prevent permanent loss of valuable data. Linux servers are mainly used in enterprises to power critical workloads as they are known for providing high-end security and resilience. This makes it imperative for system admins to know all their Linux server backup options to ensure valuable data is recoverable in times of human-made or natural disasters.

Zmanda uses Server-Client architecture, allowing for easy scaling.
  • A central backup server is provisioned on a self-hosted system running Amanda Enterprise (a Zmanda Product).
  • The server is tasked with managing backup runs across all clients linked to that specific server. Backup runs and restores are also managed through this Amanda Enterprise Server.
  • Client binaries are then installed on systems that need to be backed up, allowing for easy addition of new client systems into the backup set.

If you are using Amanda Enterprise - Recovering after a disaster is easy. The admin has to login to the Amanda Enterprise Server and locate the backup set, which contains the machine id to be restored. Once the Backup group and Machine ID are found - the admin has to decide if they want to restore data to the same machine or if they want to recover it to another system. Post that, the admin has to follow simple onscreen instructions to perform the restore.

Absolutely. Using Zmanda - the Linux Server system state is captured allowing for an easy recovery process.
