help Continuity Software AvailabilityGuard FAQ

What does AvailabilityGuard protect in a VMware environment?

Continuity Software AvailabilityGuard monitors and protects business-critical systems, including VMware vSphere environments. It is designed to detect availability risks and support recovery rather than serving as a simple desktop backup utility.

Does AvailabilityGuard replicate VMware virtual machines?

Its disaster-recovery approach can replicate workloads and virtual machines to a secondary site so they can be recovered after an outage. The exact recovery design depends on the VMware topology, storage, network, and configured recovery objectives.

Is AvailabilityGuard the same as VMware Site Recovery Manager?

No. VMware Site Recovery Manager is VMware's own disaster-recovery orchestration product, while AvailabilityGuard is developed by Continuity Software and provides broader availability-risk monitoring and continuity capabilities. They may be evaluated together in larger VMware environments.

What is the difference between backup and continuous data protection?

A traditional backup creates scheduled recovery copies, while continuous protection aims to reduce the amount of data lost between copies by replicating changes more frequently. Recovery speed still depends on the secondary site, network, applications, and tested runbooks.
