With Veeam Availability Suite v10, we introduced 10 new updated core features, and one of those was the New Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV. For those using our initial v1 product, Veeam Availability for Nutanix, we received a lot of great feedback that influenced us moving forward.

With Veeam Backup & Replication version 10, it’s possible to back up NAS shares with the SMB (CIFS) and NFS protocol. One of the challenges with backing up large file shares is doing so in a consistent state. This blog post shows how to create a consistent backup of an SMB share hosted on a NetApp FAS storage by using Microsoft VSS snapshots.

I’m generally a work-in-the-office type of person, however, if you’re working from home, it may be time to assess the need for endpoint backups. I’m convinced it is important, and I’ll explain why in this blog.

I’ve been very fortunate to speak with customers as they implement the Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA. During a recent customer pilot project, the following question was asked: “Why doesn’t the plug-in restore newer SAP HANA data after a full VM restore operation is executed?” Upon further investigation, I was inspired to expand upon existing Veeam documentation and share the results as you may find them helpful.

Recently Veeam released Veeam Backup for AWS. A new product providing cloud-native data protection to AWS workloads, whether they are born in the cloud or migrated to the cloud. With this new release of Veeam Backup for AWS, new considerations, specifically how to build a backup environment, must be put in place.

Veeam ONE v10 pairs perfectly to support Veeam Backup & Replication v10, with new monitoring capabilities for data protection operations including monitoring and reporting for NAS and Nutanix AHV backup operations that show you what is occurring in your environment in real-time. Let’s focus on some of the new features within v10.

In Veeam Availability Suite v10, it’s easy to miss some of the potentially smaller topics that are in fact a really big deal. If you haven’t read the What’s New document for v10, you should, as I’m sure you’ll find some goodies that you can immediately enjoy. Some of those are the enhancements to enterprise applications. Oracle support with Veeam has taken a big step forward with v10. Now users have the ability to publish databases instantly from a backup to a point-in-time state.

For nearly 10 years Veeam has supported our service provider partners with industry-leading, innovative features that allows them to build product and service offerings based on Veeam Backup & Replication technologies and also the Veeam Platform as a whole. Many of the features and enhancements that we have released over that time have been leveraged by our partners to offer their own customers and partners reliable, flexible and simple solutions that address a wide array of backup and data availability requirements.
