What is BURP, the Backup and Restore Program, used for?

BURP is described as Zerto's command-line utility for starting virtual-machine backups. It can initiate full or incremental backup jobs to designated storage locations.

What is the difference between a full and incremental BURP backup?

A full backup captures the complete protected image, while an incremental backup records changes since an earlier backup. Using incrementals can reduce transfer time and storage use, but recovery depends on the required backup chain.

Where does BURP save virtual-machine backups?

The utility sends backups to storage locations selected in its configuration. The catalog does not name a fixed destination, so the administrator must check the deployment settings before relying on a restore path.

Can BURP restore a virtual machine after a disaster?

Its stated role includes restoring backed-up virtual-machine images after failures or disasters. The practical recovery time depends on the backup set, storage speed, and the recovery environment.
