Trusted & Certified
Is your virtual infrastructure actually protected?
Running VMware, Proxmox, or Hyper-V means your entire operation lives inside virtual machines. A ransomware attack, a hardware failure, or an accidental deletion doesn't just affect one system — it can take down everything at once.
Most businesses discover the gaps in their VM backup strategy at the worst possible moment: when they need to restore.
Common problems we hear:
Our backup runs on the same server as the VMs — if the host fails, we lose both
We moved from VMware to Proxmox but our old backup tool doesn't support it properly.
We're not sure our backups are GDPR-compliant after the Schrems II ruling.
Recovery takes hours. We can't afford that kind of downtime.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
One solution. Every major hypervisor.
Whether you're running a classic VMware vSphere estate, migrating to Proxmox after the Broadcom price shock, or standardising on Microsoft Hyper-V — Mindtime has you covered.
| Hypervisor | Supported | Key method |
|---|---|---|
| VMware vSphere / ESXi | ✓ | Agentless via VADP API, CBT |
| Microsoft Hyper-V | ✓ | Agentless via VSS, RCT |
| Proxmox VE | ✓ | Agentless snapshots |
| Linux KVM / oVirt | ✓ | Agent-based & agentless |
| Nutanix AHV | ✓ | Agentless |
| Citrix XenServer | ✓ | Agent-based |
Everything you need to protect your VMs,
nothing you don't.
Everything included. No bolt-ons. No hidden line items.
Agentless Backup
No agents. No complexity
Mindtime connects directly to your hypervisor via native APIs. No software to install on individual VMs, no performance overhead on your workloads, and no maintenance burden for your team.
Changed Block Tracking (CBT)
Incremental backups that are cutsomly fast.
After the initial full backup, only changed data blocks are transferred. Backup windows shrink dramatically — even across large VM estates. Less network load. Shorter impact windows. Predictable schedules.
Instant Recovery
Back online before the coffee's cold
With Mindtime's instant VM recovery, you can spin up a VM directly from the backup — in the cloud or on-premises — while the full restore runs in the background. Typical recovery: under 15 minutes.
Immutable, Ransomware-Proof Backups
Backups your attackers can't touch.
With Mindtime's instant VM recovery, you can spin up a VM directly from the backup — in the cloud or on-premises — while the full restore runs in the background. Typical recovery: under 15 minutes.
Application-Aware Backups
Consistent backups for databases and business apps
VSS and application-aware quiescing ensure that SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, and other business-critical applications are captured in a consistent state — no transaction log corruption, no dirty restores.
Centralised Management
One dashboard. All your VMs.
Manage backup policies, monitor job status, trigger restores, and generate compliance reports from a single web-based console. No per-hypervisor management silos.
Your data stays in Europe. Full stop.
When you back up to Mindtime, your data never leaves the European Union. Every backup is stored in ISO 27001-certified, Tier III datacentres located exclusively in the Netherlands and Germany.
This matters more than ever:
GDPR (Article 44–49)
Data transfers outside the EU require adequate safeguards. With Mindtime, there are no transfers to worry about — your data stays inside the EU at all times.
Schrems II
US-headquartered cloud providers are subject to US law, including the Cloud Act, which can compel disclosure of data stored anywhere in the world. Mindtime is a Dutch company. Your backups are not accessible under US jurisdiction.
NIS2 Directive
As of 2025, NIS2 requires organisations in key sectors to implement appropriate technical measures for data protection and business continuity. Immutable, geo-located backup with tested recovery is a core part of NIS2 readiness.
EU-hosted (NL + DE)
NIS2 ready
Up and running in three steps
No six-month project. No rip-and-replace. No certified consultants flown in.
Connect your hypervisor
We connect to your VMware, Proxmox, or Hyper-V environment via read-only API credentials. No agents, no downtime, no changes to your production infrastructure. Setup takes under an hour.
Define your backup policy
Set retention periods, backup frequency, and recovery point objectives per VM or per policy group. Our team helps you align these with your RTO/RPO requirements and any compliance obligations.
Restore whenever you need it
Restore a full VM, individual files, or application items from any recovery point — through the web portal, or with help from our support team. We'll walk you through it if needed.

Global vendors build backup software first and add European compliance as an afterthought. At Mindtime, our entire infrastructure is built around European data residency — not bolted on afterwards.
We're a small, focused team. When you contact our support, you speak to someone who knows your setup. We don't route you through global support queues. That's the Mindtime difference.
Who this is built for
SMBs on Hyper-V or VMware
You're running 5–100 VMs on a Windows Server or vSphere environment. You need reliable, hands-off backup with compliance you can demonstrate to auditors. Mindtime handles the backup; you focus on your business.
Companies migrating from VMware to Proxmox
You've moved — or are moving — away from VMware after Broadcom's licensing changes. Proxmox is running well, but you need a backup solution that fully supports it with the same enterprise-grade reliability. Mindtime is your answer.
Businesses with NIS2 obligations
You operate in a sector covered by NIS2 — finance, healthcare, logistics, public sector, or critical infrastructure. You need backup that satisfies the directive's requirements for data protection and business continuity, with audit-ready reporting.
IT service providers (MSPs)
You manage virtual infrastructure for multiple clients across Europe. You need multi-tenant backup management, clear data residency per client, and compliance documentation you can pass on. Mindtime offers MSP-ready licensing.

Common questions
Your VMs deserve better than
"probably backed up."
Most organisations only find out their backup strategy had gaps when they need to restore. Don't let a hardware failure, a ransomware attack, or a configuration mistake be the moment you discover yours.
migration plan, and a date when your SOC goes live.
Mindtime gives your virtual machines the protection they deserve — EU-hosted, immutable, instantly recoverable, and managed by people who speak your language.
No sales pressure, just a conversation.
