BackRoll is a modern, open-source backup and disaster recovery solution designed specifically for virtualized environments. Tailored for KVM hypervisors and Linux platforms, BackRoll delivers agentless, image-based backups with fast recovery, file-level restoration, and a clean web-based interface. Developed and maintained by a dedicated team focused on simplicity and reliability, BackRoll is ideal for service providers and infrastructure teams looking for efficient, production-ready VM backups without vendor lock-in or complex licensing models.
BackRoll integrates with Apache CloudStack through a native plugin developed to support full, incremental, and differential backups of virtual machines hosted on KVM. The integration is designed to be policy-driven and automated, allowing administrators to register a BackRoll server within CloudStack, define backup plans, and execute scheduled tasks. Backups are stored externally and indexed to allow rapid recovery of entire VMs or individual files. The plugin supports backup from primary storage and optionally cross-zone recovery scenarios, making it suitable for enterprise-grade deployments.
