Device components & architecture
Overview of the components and architecture of the Xopero Unified Protection appliance, including the management system, data storage, and backup agent communication flow.
Xopero Unified Protection (XUP) integrates hardware and software components into a single appliance designed for comprehensive data protection. The XUP architecture includes an integrated data storage layer, a management interface, and a core system environment, providing centralized backup management, secure data storage, and simplified deployment. This unified design streamlines implementation, reduces infrastructure complexity, and ensures consistent protection across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Device architecture
Data storage and disk configuration leverage RAID technology in both software and hardware implementations.
The Xopero Unified Protection (XUP) solution consists of the following components:
Hardware layer based on rack-mounted servers.
XUP software layer — responsible for device initialization, providing S3-compatible storage, monitoring service health, and delivering the device management interface.
Xopero ONE service — enables the creation and execution of backup plans. The solution also includes a built-in backup agent.
System components
The key system components include:
Xopero ONE backup agent, which enables high-speed data processing directly on the device.
Xopero ONE software, which enables execution of backup tasks.
XUP management console, used to monitor device status and modify network settings.
The XUP management interface is available only in English.
An integrated data storage system based on S3 bucket technology.
A high-performance disk architecture — the system uses storage tiering, with fast NVMe drives for the operating system and high-capacity HDDs (SATA/SAS) for backup storage in a SaaS model.
System updates
For the operating model with external network access, the Xopero Unified Protection system updates automatically. Available updates are displayed on the XUP management panel login screen.
The DMZ model, which has no external network access, requires manual updates performed by a dedicated Xopero technical support specialist.
For both operating models, the device must be restarted after each system update to ensure it completes successfully.
