The invention relates to a 
disaster recovery backup system based on a 
virtual machine. The 
system comprises a deploying management module, a monitoring management module, a 
disaster recovery management module, a 
virtual machine deploying module, a 
virtual machine migration module and a virtual 
machine backup module. The deploying management module, the monitoring management module, the 
disaster recovery management module and the virtual 
machine migration module are connected in sequence. The virtual 
machine migration module and the virtual machine 
backup module are connected with a virtual 
resource pool respectively. The virtual 
resource pool is connected with the virtual machine deploying module. The virtual machine backup module comprises a copy 
server submodule, a copy engine submodule, a 
heartbeat detecting submodule and an external equipment buffering submodule. The copy 
server submodule and the copy engine submodule are used for transmitting a 
control system process. The external equipment buffering submodule comprises network buffering and 
peripheral disk storing buffering. Compared with the prior art, the fact that data are not lost, and applications are ceaseless is guaranteed, a user can have data which can be recovered at a crucial time, and customer production applications are ceaseless.
