Provides complete protection of VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines with Host-level backup, powered by Symantec’s V-Ray technology. Unlike other solutions, through a single pass backup, this powerful agent enables one-click recovery at the virtual machine, virtual disk, application, file/folder level and even granular objects from that same single image-level backup without restoring the entire virtual machine - eliminating the time and storage requirements of a second file level backup.
