Frozen State: Open-Source Backup & Disaster Recovery for Virtual Environments

Frozen State is an open-source backup and disaster recovery software designed for virtual environments. It takes incremental snapshots of VMs, allowing for quick restores to any previous snapshot state.

What is Frozen State?

Frozen State is an open-source backup and disaster recovery solution designed specifically for virtualized environments and cloud workloads. It takes space-efficient, incremental snapshots of virtual machines (VMs) or containers, capturing only changed blocks compared to the previous snapshot.

This allows admins to restore VMs or containers to any previous snapshot state in a matter of minutes. Frozen State is agentless and non-disruptive, with no downtime needed for backups. It also has built-in replication for disaster recovery.

Key capabilities include:

• Incremental, application-consistent VM snapshots
• Quick restores to any snapshot state
• Agentless backups that don't impact production VMs
• Native replication for DR protection
• Deduplication for storage efficiency
• Support for VMware, Hyper-V, Azure VMs, and Docker

Overall, Frozen State makes it easy to protect critical cloud/virtual workloads while saving storage space. Its fast, granular restores help minimize downtime and data loss.
