Product Information

Veeam Backup & Replication makes it easy to backup and restore virtual machines running on VMware vSphere or Hyper-V. Its 2-in-1 backup and replication provides the most comprehensive protection for your virtual infrastructure. With Veeam Backup & Replication you can deliver near continuous data protection, backup up to 5 times faster than native tools, restore files and data at a granular level and much more.

New Features

Key new features in Veeam Backup & Replication 6

New Hyper-V support

New support for Windows Server Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server means you can now protect either VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines.

Advanced replication

Veeam Backup & Replication 6 improves replication speed - making it up to 10x faster whether you replicate locally or over a WAN. It also introduces new levels of reliability and new capabilities such as streamlined failover and real failback.

Enterprise Scalability

A new distributed architecture helps to simplify deployment and maintenance of large installations and remote offices/branch offices. It can provide multiple backup proxy servers (data movers) and backup repositories which communicate with each other under direction of a backup server. You can dynamically assign VMs to proxy servers and use intelligent load balancing that accounts for virtual environment specifics and current load on the backup infrastructure.

1-Click File Restore (Enterprise only)

Enhances the existing Instant File-Level Recovery (IFLR) by reducing the number of steps from 10 to 1. Restore Windows guest files back to their original location directly from file search results in the Veeam Enterprise Manager web UI.

Numerous performance optimisations

CPU optimisations, WAN optimisations and optimisation of source data retrieval helps to speed up backups and restores. Plus you can optionally define the allowed processing window for any job. If the job exceeds the allowed window, it is automatically terminated to prevent the snapshot commit process from overlapping with production hours.

Migration

New Quick Migration provides efficient VM transfer between hosts and/or storage by transferring most VM data in the background (while the VM is still running). Plus a new dedicated migration job type helps to accommodate VM migration tasks. This allows you to quickly evacuate VMs from hosts requiring urgent maintenance, or migrate VMs within or between datacenters with minimal impact on performance and consumption of network bandwidth.

Statistics and reporting

The real-time statistics window has been redesigned for improved usability. A new bottleneck monitor shows the percentage of busy time for each data processing stage. The primary bottleneck is clearly displayed in real-time statistics, making it easy to identify the root cause of performance problems, including production or backup storage, network connection speed, and backup proxy server resources.

Plus much more...

Features

Key features for VMware

• 2-in-1: backup and replication - Not only can you backup your VMs, but you can also perform image-based replication either on-site for high availability or off-site for disaster recovery. And with Veeam’s near-continuous data protection (CDP), if a VM goes down, you can immediately fail over to a reliable replica without taxing the network – which is a vast improvement over traditional CDP.
• Centralised management - From a web-based console, you can manage Veeam licenses across multiple servers, receive backup size statistics and edit/clone jobs all from a centralised location.
• Built-in compression and deduplication - Included at no extra charge, now you can manage large volumes of data generated by image-based backups with the added ability to compress and deduplicate data resulting in improved performance by reducing the amount of data that is sent over the network.
• Agentless - There are no agents for you to license or deploy, manage, monitor or update on hosts or VMs.
• Scalability - Veeam Backup & Replication provides a distributed architecture to simplify deployment and maintenance of backup infrastructure in remote office/branch office (ROBO) and large-scale deployments.
• U-AIR - Universal Application-Item Recovery (Enterprise only) - Recover individual objects from ANY virtualised application without the use of additional agents, backups or software tools.
• SureBackup (Enterprise only) - Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup, every time. Simply create a VM in an isolated environment and run it directly from the backup file.
• On-Demand Sandbox (Enterprise only) - Create VMs on the fly for testing or troubleshooting.
• Instant File-level Recovery (Enterprise only) - Recover a file for any guest OS and file system from image-level backups.

Key features for Hyper-V

• 2-in-1 backup and replication - Now you can get Hyper-V virtual server backup and replication from one unified product. Not only can you backup your VMs, but you can also perform image-based replication either on-site for high availability or off-site for disaster recovery. And with Veeam’s near-continuous data protection (CDP), if a VM goes down, you can immediately fail over to a reliable replica without taxing the network – which is a vast improvement over traditional CDP.
• Changed block tracking - This exclusive Veeam technology for Hyper-V delivers the fastest backup and replication speed (up to 20X faster) by capturing changes and updating VM images based on incremental backups without requiring a full scan.
• Secure restore - Delegation of restores can now be given to helpdesk personnel. This allows Windows files to be restored directly to their original location - without an agent in the VM - so delegated administrators will not require additional permissions or have access to sensitive files. They can simply find and restore the files back to the original location without having access to the file contents.
• Agentless - There are no agents for you to license or deploy, manage, monitor or update on hosts or VMs.
• Built-in compression and deduplication - Included at no extra charge, now you can manage large volumes of data generated by image-based backups with the added ability to compress and deduplicate data resulting in improved performance by reducing the amount of data that is sent over the network.
• Fast, flexible recovery - Restore an entire VM or individual Windows guest files from the same image-level backup - with no staging, agents or indexes required.
• Synthetic full backups - This approach to backup eliminates the need for full periodic backups by creating new full backups from incremental backups. It is the most efficient way to protect very large VMs that often take a long time to back up. Additionally, synthetic full backups are essential when backing up offsite over a WAN.

Editions

Features exclusive to the Enterprise edition

The Enterprise edition includes a range of exclusive features not available in the Standard edition:

• 1-Click File Restore - allows administrators to perform restores of Windows guest files to their original location, from the Enterprise Manager web UI
• Catalog of Windows guest files - maintains a catalog (index) of Windows guest files on disk and in archived backups
• Veeam Enterprise Manager - the Enterprise edition extends the Enterprise Manager with the ability to clone and edit jobs within the web UI
• U-AIR - restore individual application objects e.g. email messages, directory objects or database records, from a regular image-level backup (currently available for VMware only)
• SureBackup - provides automated, advanced recovery verification (currently available for VMware only)
• On-Demand Sandbox - includes the ability to run one or more VMs from backup in an isolated environment, thereby providing a working copy of the production environment for troubleshooting, training, testing etc. (currently available for VMware only).
