Veeam Backup is the first solution that combines backup and replication in a single product for fast recovery of your VMware ESX Servers. Backup is easy – recovery can be hard. But with Veeam Backup, fast recovery is easier than you ever thought possible.

As virtualisation increasingly handles mission-critical production workloads, organisations must be assured of effective backup and appropriately fast recovery of the virtual infrastructure. Balancing cost with flexibility is key: some data requires replication to ensure business continuity, while other data is best backed up and recovered using less expensive hardware and techniques. Veeam Backup offers both techniques through one interface, in one product.


Backup and Replication in one - Now, with Veeam Backup, organisations can benefit from a unified solution for both backup and replication to protect mission-critical virtual machines from both hardware and software failure.

Fast file-level recovery - Veeam Backup’s fast file-level recovery feature allows ESX administrators to restore individual files in minutes without extracting the full VM image to a local drive. An administrator can extract individual files to the latest state or to a specific point in time.

Data de-duplication - Veeam Backup allows you to minimise storage costs for virtual machine backups. Veeam’s data de-duplication and compression are especially valuable when backing up multiple virtual machines created from a single template or VMs with gigs of free space on their logical drives.

Replication rollback - A replica produced with Veeam Backup can be restored to a particular point in time. This protects your infrastructure against both hardware and software corruptions.

Integration with VCB - Veeam Backup is the only backup solution that enables you to run incremental backup and replication jobs through VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB). Using its proprietary "VCB on-the-fly" technology, Veeam Backup doesn't require extra space on the VCB proxy for VM images, allowing for faster backups. Veeam Backup operates either with or without VCB, letting the user choose whether to use VCB or not for either standard backup or replication backup.

Integration with Veeam FastSCP – To date, Veeam’s FastSCP freeware has been downloaded more than 28,000 times, and Veeam Backup shares a common interface with FastSCP, allowing users to manage backup, replication and file copying from a single screen.

VMware Infrastructure

Hosts

  • ESX Server 3.0 or later.
  • ESXi (VCB mode only).

Software

  • Virtual Center 2.0 or later (optional).
  • VMWare Consolidated Backup (VCB) framework 1.0 or later (optional). Ensure that your VCB framework is compatible with your ESX server version (refer to the official compatibility matrix).

Virtual Machines

Hardware

  • All types of virtual hardware are supported, except of RDM and Independent disks.

OS

  • Any operating system supported by VMware.
  • Microsoft Windows VSS option is currently supported on Windows XP and Windows 2003 only. Windows 2008 is not supported in the current version.
  • File-level restore option is currently supported on Microsoft Windows file systems only (NTFS, FAT, FAT32). Flat VMDKs are required for file-level restore. GPT disks are not supported for file level restore.

Software

  • VMware Tools (optional)
  • Microsoft Windows VSS backup option requires that your guest OS has VMware Tools, and all the latest service packs and patches installed.

Veeam Backup Console

Hardware

  • Processor: Pentium IV CPU or faster (multi-core processors recommended). Using faster processors generally improves backup performance.
  • Memory: 512MB RAM.
  • Hard Disk Space: 100MB.
  • Network: 100 Mbit/sec or faster preferred due to performance considerations.

OS

  • Windows XP SP2 or later.
  • Windows 2003 SP2 or later.
  • Windows Vista SP1 or later.
  • Only 32bit operating systems are supported in the current version. Windows 2008 is not supported in the current version.

Software

  • Microsoft Installer 3.1
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later (included in the setup)

Backup Target

Hardware

  • Processor: Pentium IV CPU or faster (multi-core processors recommended for Linux targets). Using faster processors generally improves backup performance when using Linux targets.
  • Memory: 256 MB RAM
  • Hard Disk: Using faster storage (high-RPM hard drives, RAID0 configurations) generally improves backup performance.
  • Hard Disk Space: Sufficient disk space required to store the backup files
  • Network: 100 Mbit/sec or faster preferred due to performance considerations.

OS

  • Microsoft Windows.
  • Major Linux distributions (32bit editions only).
  • ESX 3.0 or later.

Replication Target

Hosts

  • ESX Server 3.0 or later
  • Full image restore and replication to ESXi is not currently supported.
