Learn more about licensing for Xopero Unified Protection.

Xopero Unified Protection (XUP) is an all-in-one backup solution that integrates Xopero ONE software with dedicated storage medium. Unlike standalone Xopero ONE licenses, XUP uses a storage-based licensing model and provides comprehensive protection for the entire local infrastructure.

Licensing model

Xopero Unified Protection (XUP) operates on a licensing model that combines hardware capacity with unlimited protection for local resources. When you purchase a XUP appliance, you receive:

• Unlimited licenses for endpoints (Windows and macOS).

• Unlimited licenses for servers (Windows and Linux).

• Unlimited licenses for virtual machines (VMware and Hyper-V, including host-level and in-guest backup agents).

Expanding protection

While Xopero Unified Protection provides unlimited protection for all local physical and virtual resources, the license can be extended to include cloud platforms and offsite storage. These are available as separate subscription-based licenses:

1. Microsoft 365 — protection for mailboxes, OneDrive, contacts, and calendars.

2. Git platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) — protection for repositories and metadata.

3. Jira — comprehensive backup for Jira spaces.

4. Xopero Cloud Storage — secure offsite data redundancy.

Protecting virtual environments

Xopero Unified Protection provides two primary ways to secure virtual machines, ensuring compatibility regardless of hypervisor:

1. Host-level (VMware and Hyper-V) — unlimited backup of VMs directly from the hypervisor level.

2. In-guest agent — by installing a backup agent (worker) directly inside a VM, you can protect the system regardless of the underlying platform. This is the recommended method for securing environments not natively supported at the host level, such as Proxmox, Xen, KVM, or Nutanix.
