It does not take a natural or man-made disaster to cause companies to lose data and disrupt business. Storage failure, server failure and even user error can all cause data loss, and the ability to easily recover vital data and meet recovery time goals and objectives, for both major and minor service interruptions, is the ultimate success mark of a solid data protection strategy. Backup and recovery of applications, systems and data should be fast, flexible, and easy, without consuming critical resources.

VMware vSphere provides a fundamentally better platform for data protection. Applications running on vSphere benefit from:
- Non-disruptive backups: At the time of backup, a snapshot is taken of the virtual machine, and the snapshot is presented to the backup application. This simplifies management by eliminating the need to have an agent running inside the virtual machine. It also avoids consuming resources within the virtual machine for backup jobs.
- Encapsulation: VMware virtualization encapsulates a complete system—including OS, application, and data—into a small set of files. As a result, the entire system is backed up and can be recovered in a single operation, eliminating the complexity of traditional data protection solutions.
