As you may have guessed, we’re not “giving away” all the great functionality in Veeam Backup & Replication, just a subset. Included in the free edition is our familiar file management FastSCP functionality, Quick VMware migration and something new we’re calling VeeamZIP.

The file that VeeamZIP creates is our in our standard .VBK file format. You can now take a 500GB VM and “ZIP” it into a single file that will fit on most removable media such as a portable hard drive or even a USB “thumb” drive. There are countless uses for these compact VM archives…
