BDRSuite is a comprehensive Backup & Disaster Recovery solution from Vembu Technologies.

As of now, you got an idea about what BDRSuite is & what all supported workloads are. So now let’s see what’s new in the newly announced version of BDRSuite.
Add servers through AD/LDAP:
Now you can easily add your Windows, Linux & Mac servers from AD/LDAP Servers which enables quick additions of servers to backup. This is done by importing machine details from the AD/LDAP servers.
Centralized Backup Management for Mac:
Previously IT Teams had to manage separate clients for backup configuration & restore for Mac but now with this feature administrators can configure and manage backups directly from a centralized backup server. This simplifies the management process and eliminates the need for separate clients.
Backup Job Template for Endpoints and File/Folder Backups:
The BDRSuite now offers a backup job template functionality that allows IT Team to create backup job templates while configuring file server backup (Windows, Linux) and endpoints backup (Windows, Linux, and Mac). This feature helps to eliminate the need for repeatedly configuring backup options such as scheduling, retention, and exclusion each time while creating a backup job for the respective entities. With this feature, users can create backup job templates based on their organization’s policy and use them when creating backup jobs for respective workloads.
Multi-tenancy support for Endpoints and File/Folder Backups:
Using this feature, MSPs and IT admins can now group the selected servers and endpoints to create a separate tenant with Read-Only or Restore-Only permission. This feature now supports Endpoints (Windows, Linux, and Mac), Servers (Windows, and Linux) along with other workloads.
It also includes enhancements to existing features & functionalities which you can see below:
- Users can now schedule an on-demand incremental backup for a specific host(s)/VM(s) and failed host(s)/VM(s) in a backup job.
