About

VM Backup (formerly Altaro VM Backup) is an award-wining virtual machine backup and replication solution for Hyper-V and VMware environments. It is used by 40,000+ businesses worldwide. Designed for IT departments, IT resellers, IT consultants and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), the solution provides robust, streamlined, enterprise-level functionality. It’s characterised by ease of use, speed and affordability. With its WAN-Optimized Replication and Continuous Data Protection (CDP), you can achieve minimal RPO and RTO, i.e., drastically reduce the length of time your virtual machines are down and the amount of data lost when disaster strikes – to just minutes. Virtual machine backup and replication software packed with powerful features for Hyper-V and VMware.

About

boxd provides persistent Linux virtual machines for developers, engineering teams and AI-agent workloads. Each machine has its own kernel, SSH access, a public HTTPS address and persistent disk, so software that needs a full computer—including Docker, systemd, long-running agents and development servers—can run in an isolated environment. Users can fork a running machine with its memory and disk state to explore parallel approaches without rebuilding the environment; idle machines can hibernate and retain disk state. Machines are managed over SSH, a command-line interface, API, and Python and TypeScript SDKs. Organizations can connect GitHub, Linear and Slack. boxd runs as a managed cloud in Frankfurt or can be self-hosted on KVM-capable Linux infrastructure, free for deployments up to 16 vCPUs. Use cases include cloud development environments, AI-agent sandboxes, background coding agents and preview environments.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to understand and use. Reliable backups and restores. Very good and accessible support.
  • Easy to use software whether it is for File restoration or a complete VM. Back-up checks and reporting tools give me detailed information about any possible concerns. The software saves me a lot of time and is well worth a try if you are looking for a new back-up software for your VM's.
  • Simple to use Reasonable Price Reliable Excellent Support

Cons

  • Error messages could be a bit clearer maybe. The support handles them so it's not that important though.
  • Loading big images from olders dates takes some time to load.. coffee time!
  • I don't have any cons that i can think of.
