Veeam Backup & Replication is a software product developed by Veeam Software to\u00a0back up, restore and\u00a0replicate\u00a0data on virtual machines (VMs). It was first released in 2008 and is part of the Veeam Availability Suite.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veeam was among the first vendors to develop backup software tailored to VMs. Before Veeam, backup applications failed to recognize the difference between protecting physical and virtual machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veeam Backup & Replication software is compatible with a variety of backup targets and can be used with VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. The product works on the\u00a0virtualization\u00a0layer and is\u00a0agentless<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. According to the vendor, the software has a recovery time objective of less than 15 minutes for all applications and uses built-in\u00a0WAN acceleration\u00a0to replicate data off-site up to 50 times faster than a raw data transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backups are image-based, and can be created from\u00a0snapshots\u00a0on Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and Nimble Storage\u00a0arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Instant Recovery, an entire machine can be restored from backup in a matter of minutes.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to backing up and recovering VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication can protect and restore individual files and applications for environments such as Exchange and SharePoint. It can also provide transaction-level restores of Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5, released in 2016, has numerous features to help with high-speed recoveries, data loss avoidance and verified recoveries. Some of these features include a scale-out backup repository, instant file-level recovery, remote office\/branch office support and SureBackup technology that tests VM backups to ensure data recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Veeam Cloud Connect feature provides secure\u00a0cloud backups, and the software has fully integrated\u00a0cloud disaster recovery.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Veeam software is available in free and paid editions: Veeam Backup Free provides a subset of the features and functionality of the Veeam Enterprise Plus paid edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, the ability to protect physical servers was added as Veeam sought to expand from an SMB application to enterprise accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2017, Veeam Software said its move to the enterprise helped generate more than $600 million in bookings in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
