A hypervisor creates and runs virtual machines (guests) on a host machine. Each guest has its own operating system, which can differ from the OS of the host machine.
Two main integration points between Rapid Recovery and hypervisors relate to virtual export, and agentless protection.
Virtual export. Using the virtual export feature of Rapid Recovery, you can perform a one-time virtual export, or define requirements for continual virtual export (this feature is also called "virtual standby"). This process can be performed from any protected machine, physical or virtual. If a protected machine goes down, you can boot up the virtual machine and use it to continue day-to-day operations.
When exporting to ESXi, Hyper-V, or VMware Workstation, you must use the full licensed versions of those hypervisors, not free versions.
Rapid Recovery lets you perform virtual export to VM hosts described in the matrices below.
Agentless protection. Agentless protection for hypervisors is supported as described in the matrices below.
Rapid Recovery explicitly supports the following hypervisors:
