vRanger is an agentless backup and replication software that protects virtual, physical, and cloud environments. It uses an active block mapping technique to reduce backup data by 1/3. A virtual appliance architecture allows for concurrent backup, replication, and restore. The software also supports industry-leading deduplication devices, file-level recovery, one-click recovery, and physical Windows backup and recovery. Pricing is $769 per protected virtual host CPU socket and $300 per protected physical server.
