Frequently Asked Questions

What is RHV (Red Hat Virtualization)?

Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) is an enterprise-class virtualization platform, produced to virtualize business applications in the enterprise data center while achieving performance, resilience and security. Today, most of the organizations are dependent on virtualization technologies owing to the following reasons:

Increases the IT productivity
Reduced capital owing to less operation costs
Elimination of downtime
The resources and applications provisioned at a faster rate
Enables business continuity in an easier and better way
Simplification of data center management

What are the benefits of the agent-based backup?

Agent-based backup is the traditional backup approach. Agent-based backup systems are designed to protect both physical and virtual machines and recover lost, deleted, or corrupted files. A lightweight agent runs at the kernel level of the operating system that needs to be protected. These agents allow backing up selected files or folders inside VMs performing extremely granular file backup and incremental recovery with high performance. Agent-based backup is highly reliable ensuring no single point of failure as an agent continues to run even if a backup management console goes offline.

Which Red Hat Virtualization platforms are supported by Acronis Backup?

Acronis Backup for Red Hat or KVM virtual machines supports following virtualization platforms:

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) 4.0, 4.1
Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM)

How many licenses do I need to purchase to back up RHV?
