What you get for OpenStack with Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Complete Data Protection
As a 100% third-party backup solution, Vinchin Backup & Recovery also calls APIs of OpenStack supported storage solutions including distributed storage (Ceph) and centralized storage (HPE 3PAR, NetApp, Promise, etc.), making sure your mission-critical project data can be highly recoverable all the time.
Innovative Backup Features
Designed as an all-in-one data protection solution, Vinchin Backup & Recovery offers various innovative and powerful features including SpeedKit (CBT alternative), BitDetector, and granular restore etc. all at once for you to use, helping to protect OpenStack environments in a more advanced way.
Improved CTO
Vinchin Backup & Recovery provides OpenStack users an easy access to full backup and restore functionality with one intuitive web console. Designed for centralized job management, you can always mange to control the whole backup environment in a matter of minutes even if your IT infrastructure is complex.
Key Features
Forever Incremental Backup
Forever incremental backup works as a more time and storage saving backup strategy with once-off full backup at the start. You can put SpeedKit into full utilization with forever incremental backup, and the unique feature designed by Vinchin will work as CBT alternative to quickly identify changed data blocks for faster OpenStack volume backups.
Deduplication & Compression
Vinchin Deduplication and Compression are two powerful data reduction techniques that can be used for effective backup storage saving. Deduplication works to detect duplicate data blocks especially the zeroed data blocks, and only back up unique data blocks, while compression helps to reduce the backup size of an instance by at least 50% by compressing deduplicated data blocks.
BitDetector
This Vinchin unique technology mainly focuses on the detection and exclusion of swap files, partition gaps and unpartitioned spaces to remain only written valuable data in backup repository during OpenStack backup process, raising valid backup data rate per unit of job running time.
Flexible Node(s) Expansion
Considering the relatively large size of each OpenStack project, Vinchin provides backup node(s) adding features to help build a scale-out infrastructure to back up more OpenStack volumes. Data can be backed up distributedly to multiple backup depositories, and you can easily manage all nodes still through the default web console.
LAN-Free Backup
Compared to legacy LAN-based backup, LAN-Free backup strategy from Vinchin can transmit data of target instance from OpenStack to backup system directly through SAN, resulting fast and smooth volume backup process with 0 taken-up production network resources.
File-level Recovery
When some files are mistakenly deleted or an application is corrupted by accident, you can fully utilize Vinchin Granular Restore for quick file-level recovery. It allows you to select target files or folders you want in a restore point of the instance, and directly recover them back to the original destination without implementing full instance recovery.
Cloud Archive
Vinchin Backup & Recovery provides accessible interfaces to Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3 and S3 compatible storages for you to archive OpenStack volumes of massive instances on cloud for longer data retention use, giving triple guarantee on data security.
Offsite Backup Copy
To reach higher data availability, you can choose to save independent backup copies of local production data in offsite data center. In case both local production and backup environment are damaged, your offsite backup copy of the latest restore point is still available for restoring target instance back to local or offsite OpenStack data center.

Top Reasons to Choose Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Robust VM Backup
Automated OpenStack Backup
Vinchin Backup & Recovery performs image-based, incremental and crash-consistent backup for OpenStack instances. You can easily set a backup workflow to automatically run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis without typing command-lines manually for volume/snapshot backups. Combining this with application-aware MySQL, MS SQL Server, and Oracle DB backups that Vinchin supports, both of your system files and databases in the OpenStack environment can be well protected at ease.
LAN-Free Data Transport
Besides traditional LAN-based data transport, Vinchin Backup & Recovery also supports users to back up instances in OpenStack environments via LAN-Free path which relies on direct SAN (Storage Area Network) access, without affecting the production network. It works to boost instance backup speed and shorten backup windows, so that high data volumes can be efficiently backed up even during business hours.
Backup Storage Savings
Vinchin Backup & Recovery uses multiple data reduction technologies to effectively reduce the size of your backup data for optimized backup storage utilization. Deduplication features helps ensure only unique data blocks are saved, and compression feature is able to release at least 50% of your original incremental backup data size. Furthermore, we also offer Vinchin BitDetector feature for deeper data extraction to minimize the cost for backup storage expansion.
Complete Data Protection

Besides onsite scheduled backup, Vinchin Backup & Recovery also provides offsite backup copy and cloud archive features to build an ideal 3-2-1 backup architecture for OpenStack users. With local backups in hand, you can save extra backup copies at the remote site, and archvie the backups to the cloud storage at the same time. In this way, even if disaster hits your primary production environment, there're still highly available backup copies ready for effective disaster recovery.
Long-Term Data Retention

With Vinchin Backup Archive, such requirements can be fully met. You can establish your own backup archive plans on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for critical data generated in different instances, making sure all the infrequently-used yet important history data all can be safely kept in the cloud.

Once data encryption feature is enabled, password verification will be required when you need to restore any of the encrypted backup data, which secures that the data will be used by the right user. The feature will be available when you configure local backups, backup copies, onsite/cloud archives and backup imports from detached storages.
