Like many of you out there, I’m a visual person. Whenever it comes down to some technical information, whether it’s a software function description or a company virtual architecture planning proposal, I can catch myself getting lost after a minute (only if I’m not presented with a nice scheme of said material). Given that, I’ve always been helping develop lots of Veeam-related illustrations, icons and presentations throughout my career here. Read more

Veeam strives to listen to the community and aims to address perceived challenges. In Veeam Backup & Replication v10, we saw the first Backup Proxies being powered by Linux. In V11, we go even further and enhance the possibilities with those Linux Backup Proxies. Flexibility and the freedom of choice on which type of components to use with Veeam Backup & Replication fuels further enrichments done with Linux-related enhancements. Let’s dive in and uncover those Linux-related enhancements in our flagship. Read more

In Veeam Backup & Replication v10, Veeam released the ability to protect your NAS shares and file servers at scale, the key differentiators being the storage agnostic approach and super-fast incremental backups of your unstructured data. NAS backup in V10 also enabled some fast and efficient ways to recover your NAS data, recovering what you want when you need it. Veeam Backup & Replication v11 continues to focus on that NAS backup experience with a distinct focus on expanded recovery. Read more

The new RESTful API in Veeam Backup & Replication v11 is a big moment for Veeam. We have been working to modernize our automation and orchestration toolset with our more recent product releases and the experiences learnt from those has been added into V11 in the form of a new RESTful API Service. JSON based, installed by default and separate to Enterprise Manager, this will allow our partners looking to leverage the power of APIs to get more from Veeam Backup & Replication. Read more

We all go through the Digital Transformation journey at our own pace. The pandemic, however, accelerated the journey for most organizations. Instead of the allotted time in years, it was done in months! This was an eye-opener for many on how dependent their core business processes are on digital technology in the event of disruption.

Digital resilience defines your capabilities for survival and forward evolution, considering that change is the only constant in a fluid, super-connected digital environment. The question to ask is, are you actively strengthening resilience for both business processes, existing digital infrastructure and new infrastructure?

The Scale-out Backup Repository is one of Veeam’s unique innovations that really brings a lot of capabilities to the backup storage lifecycle management, yet in a simple, flexible, policy-driven and reliable manner. Veeam expands customer choice by offering the option to archive to a lower cost tier of cloud storage. Read more

One of the first features added to Veeam Backup & Replication was backup copy jobs, and with backup copy jobs, we added GFS. GFS stands for Grandfather, Farther, Son. It is the term used for archival retention points originally in just backup copy jobs, but now it’s available in traditional backup jobs in more recent versions. These archival points allow customers to save a point-in-time full copies of their data in intervals of weeks, months, quarters and years. Starting in Veeam Backup & Replication v11, there will be some changes to how GFS is handled in backup copy jobs and some new best practice configurations. Read more

The Instant Recovery story at Veeam started in the v5 release in 2010, which seems like such a long time ago! Every release since has had some form of enhancement to the capability. Whether it is performance, scalability or new platforms. New platform support included Hyper-V Instant VM Recovery and allowing Agent backups to recover instantly as a VM. V10 also introduced multiple VM Instant VM Recovery alongside significant performance improvements. But Veeam isn’t going to stop there. Read more

It’s another extraordinary day at Veeam, as Veeam Backup & Replication v11 and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure v2 are launched. Without a doubt, the most significant aspect of these two launches is that Veeam Backup & Replication can now natively back up your Azure environment (more on that later). Veeam is consistently building on its promise of delivering a true Cloud Data Management platform, and these releases are packed full of capabilities to help natively protect Microsoft Azure workloads.

In Veeam Backup & Replication v10 we introduced the ability to store your Veeam backups in AWS and S3 Compatible Object storage using the Object Lock API. This would mean that you would have a secondary copy of your backup data most likely offsite and in an immutable state, which means it can’t be modified and is protected against insider malicious activity.

Fast forward to the release of Veeam Backup & Replication v11, and we have enabled a way of storing data, agnostic to hardware in your primary location leveraging Linux with the NEW Hardened Linux Repository.
