A continuous data backup and access method/system using virtual machines is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes creating a virtual machine associated with a backup module based on attributes of an application server when the application server is connected to a network having the backup module, continuously capturing any change of a data processed in the application server, and automatically backing up the any change of the data in a storage device coupled to the backup module using the virtual machine, and communicating at least the data in the storage device to the application server using the virtual machine when a command is communicated to the backup module. The method may also include automatically recovering a recent attribute and data of the application sever using the virtual machine associated with the backup module when the application sever fails.
