Dear Bacula Users, I'm proud to announce my unprecedented product for the Bacula Community.
PodHeitor Hyper-V Backup Plugin for Bacula Full VM backup and restore for Microsoft Hyper-V — direct VHDX access, RCT block-level incremental, application-consistent. Back up Hyper-V virtual machines including VHDX disks, configuration, checkpoints, and metadata. No Export-VM needed — reads VHDX files directly with production checkpoints for consistency, and uses Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) for true block-level incremental/differential backups. Built with Rust — The backend engine (podheitor-hyperv-backend.exe) is implemented in Rust, delivering memory safety, zero-cost abstractions, and native performance. This is a state-of-the-art Hyper-V backup plugin — no PowerShell spaghetti, no fragile script chains. Production-grade systems engineering from the ground up. Why Direct VHDX + RCT Challenge: VHD files locked while VM runs Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: Production checkpoint freezes parent VHDX for reading Challenge: Inconsistent state during copy Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: VSS quiesce ensures application consistency Challenge: Export-VM requires full local copy Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: No export — read VHDX in place, zero extra disk space Challenge: Full VHDX re-sent on each incremental Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: RCT tracks changed blocks — send only modified regions Challenge: Fast incremental for large disks Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: Block-level delta: 100GB disk with 2GB changed → only 2GB transferred Challenge: Manual snapshot management Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: Plugin creates + removes checkpoint automatically Challenge: No catalog of backed-up files Direct VHDX + RCT Approach: Bacula catalog tracks every file — restore individual VHDs Datasheet: https://baculaenterprise.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/PodHeitor-Hyper-V-Backup-Plugin-for-Bacula-.pdf Please let me know in a private message if you need this plugin or any other. I'm taking orders for Bacula Community plugin development. Regards, Heitor faria (Miami) https://www.youtube.com/@podheitor WhatsApp: +1 786-726-1749 | +55 61 98268-4220
