A Zerto alternative for Proxmox VE
Zerto set the bar for continuous, hypervisor-based replication and slick DR orchestration. ProxDR brings that same near-continuous, low-RPO disaster recovery to Proxmox VE — without the enterprise price tag.
What teams love about Zerto
Zerto's appeal is low-RPO, always-on replication at the hypervisor layer, plus one-click failover, non-disruptive testing, and simple failback. It made DR feel continuous rather than a nightly batch job.
Bringing that to Proxmox
ProxDR replicates your Proxmox VMs near-continuously — from every 10 minutes down to minutes — and adds the orchestration Proxmox lacks: recovery plans, non-disruptive DR testing in an isolated network, and one-click failover and failback across sites. Because it's built on QEMU dirty bitmaps, it protects VMs on any storage backend, not just ZFS or Ceph.
