Beta Access: Instant Restore, Proxmox Backup, Hybrid Backup and More

We’re opening beta access for a set of upcoming MSP360 Backup features. Here’s what’s included:

Instant Restore - boot a VM directly from backup storage without waiting for a full restore operation to complete. The VM becomes operational within minutes while the restore runs in the background.

Direct restore to VMware / Hyper-V / Proxmox - the platform automatically creates a VM from the backup image and restores it directly to the selected virtualization environment, significantly reducing recovery complexity.

Proxmox VM & LXC container backup - backup support for Proxmox environments, including both virtual machines and Linux containers.

Hybrid Backup - combines local backup with automatic replication to one or multiple secondary destinations. Available across all backup types.

Synthetic Backup for local destinations - Forever Forward Incremental for local disks and network shares.

Item-level restore via browser - recover individual files and folders directly from your web browser from Image-Based, File, and VMware/Hyper-V/Proxmox backups, without a full system restore.

Several of these are already in beta. If you’d like early access, sign up here: https://get.msp360.com/upcoming-instant-restore-and-backup-features-may-2026
