What is an VDC Backup? 

Zettagrid VDC Backup is an agent-less, image-based (snapshot) backup service for your virtual appliances and file systems. It lets you back up your Zettagrid virtual appliances (VMs) to an offsite location and restore a VM to a chosen point if needed.

You can order this service from the website, selecting which VMs to protect, the backup window, and how many backups to keep. To restore a VM, use the “My Account” portal.

Image Restorations

You must perform restorations via the MyAccount portal, accepting full responsibility for restoring the snapshot over your existing virtual appliance or file system.

If you require Zettagrid to restore on your behalf, we will charge for this service. You must provide a written request from an authorised representative.

Data Corruption

Zettagrid VDC Backup copies your virtual appliance exactly. If the source backup is corrupted or misconfigured, the restored snapshot will reflect that. You are responsible for snapshotting an appropriate version and securing access to your snapshots.

Data Retention Upon Cancellation

After cancellation, VDC Backup snapshots will no longer be available.
