Image-based VMware Backup and Recovery That's Fast, Efficient and Easy to Manage!


Quest vRanger Pro offers innovative technology to speed full, incremental and differential VMware backup while dramatically reducing the size of your backup image.

It is built on the world's only data protection platform optimized for image-based data handling.

You get fast VMware backup and restore using the patent-pending Active Block Mapping feature that reads only active blocks from the image.  With the additional use of Recovery Manager for Exchange, you can do agentless, object-level recovery for Microsoft Exchange quickly and easily.

  • Performs backups 33% faster than the alternatives
  • Makes backed up images 25% smaller than other solutions can
  • Ensures application backup integrity with VSS
  • Provides strongest possible virtual environment affinity
  • Offers the most intuitive backup archive management functionality on the market

Features include

  • Change Block Tracking (CBT) to query the vStorage API and retrieve changed blocks rather than scanning the image to find them
  • Patent-pending Active Block Mapping (ABM) to avoid reads of blocks that are inactive or written with zeros
  • Object-level recovery for Microsoft Exchange for fast restores of individual email objects from the vRanger Pro image archive
  • VSS driver to provide a runtime process for guests with database applications, ensuring backup data integrity and log-file truncation
  • Custom backup groups for creating backup jobs that combine more than one VM from the same ESX server, from across ESX Servers, and from different vCenter deployments
  • Thin disk provisioning support to reduce network and storage requirements
