Storware Backup & Recovery
Warsaw, Poland
What it is
Storware Backup & Recovery protects virtual machines, containers, and cloud workloads through a single console. It is designed for hybrid deployment and supports examples including VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Proxmox. Storware describes a universal license covering 15+ platforms without per-hypervisor licensing. Backups are agentless and policy-driven, with a lightweight host agent used for Hyper-V. Recovery includes fast recovery and granular restores, while a REST API and policy-as-configuration support pipeline automation. Security features include WORM immutability, air-gap isolation, AES encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, Keycloak MFA, and audit logging. Storware says it holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and describes its GDPR commitments. A free license is available, but technical support is not included. The free 60-day trial costs nothing and permits up to 20 virtual environments and 20 applications, with 2 TB limits for specified backups. V2V migration is excluded from the trial and reserved for the commercial version.
