Actiphy, Inc. unveils new version of ActiveImage Protector™ 2022 with Support for Linux KVM virtualization technology
October 23, 2025
WILDOMAR, CA — October 23, 2025 — Actiphy Inc., a leading provider of backup, disaster recovery, and virtualization software, today announced the release of a new version of ActiveImage Protector 2022, now featuring support for Linux KVM virtualization technology.
Linux KVM has become a widely adopted open-source virtualization platform, offering exceptional flexibility, performance, and stability through its integration with the Linux kernel. With this release, ActiveImage Protector 2022 introduces agentless backup and recovery for Linux KVM virtual machines, extending Actiphy’s robust protection to yet another central virtualization platform.
By adding KVM support to its HyperBack™ and HyperRecovery™ technologies, Actiphy now covers most major virtualization environments — including Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, and Linux KVM — eliminating the need to install backup agents on individual virtual machines. This enhancement simplifies deployment, reduces system overhead, and improves guest OS compatibility, offering administrators a more efficient and streamlined data protection solution.
New Features
- Agentless Backup (HyperBack) for Linux KVM: Perform image-based backups of virtual machines on Linux KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere without installing agents inside each VM or special software on the host.
- Agentless Recovery (HyperRecovery) for Linux KVM::Restore backup images directly to new or existing Linux KVM virtual machines, accelerating recovery and minimizing downtime.
- Support for Seagate Lyve Cloud: Backups can now be stored directly to Seagate Lyve Cloud, adding another flexible and secure off-site storage option.

- Flexible Backup Options:The system supports file/folder backup and recovery, as well as incremental backups for optimized storage efficiency.
