These archival points allow customers to save a point-in-time full copies of their data in intervals of weeks, months, quarters and years.

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.
