V9.0 focuses on improved data security, recovery reliability, faster failover, and simpler cross-platform migration, with optimizations that reduce risk, lower operational costs, and speed business recovery.
Vinchin 9.0 now supports Kubernetes backup using the native CSI interface to take snapshots of PVC persistent volumes, allowing backup and restore at cluster, namespace, application, or PVC levels with custom pre- and post-backup scripts for application consistency.
Vinchin 9.0 integrates Kaspersky antivirus to automatically scan backups for viruses and remove detected threats before restore, preventing infected systems from being recovered and ensuring backup data remains safe and reliable.
The built-in DR lab enables fast emergency takeover when production systems fail, allowing recovered VMs and physical servers to be spun up inside the lab to resume critical services without environment deployment, with post-recovery scripts for automated validation and testing.
Vinchin 9.0 now supports V2V, P2V, C2C, and C2V migrations, automating disk format conversion and configuration mapping while replacing incompatible drivers and repairing boot issues using a library of 200+ built-in drivers and custom driver support.
After backup completion, Vinchin generates a unique checksum from the backup data's metadata file and recalculates it before storage operations or restore; if values don't match, the backup is marked as corrupted, blocking restore and notifying administrators to prevent silent data corruption.
A range of optimizations improve performance for virtualized and database environments, resulting in less risk, lower operational cost, and faster business recovery.
Customers with a single production environment can use instant recovery to directly failover into the built-in DR lab, launching recovered VMs to quickly take over services while automated post-recovery scripts accelerate verification and service checks.
The system automatically detects applications and adds new workloads to backup tasks, providing intelligent and continuous protection for dynamic Kubernetes environments with minimal impact on production volumes.
