BENEFITS

Fast Backups, Flexible Recovery

KVM environments are built to be lean, and backup shouldn’t undo that. Veeam talks directly to Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization for fast, space-efficient backups, with the flexibility to recover onto another hypervisor or the cloud, even for Red Hat Virtualization workloads nearing end of life.

Veeam’s KVM Backup Advantage

Recover to Any Hypervisor You Choose

Move a protected VM onto VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or Proxmox VE almost instantly, useful if your platform strategy shifts.

Lightweight, Space-Efficient Backups

Veeam talks straight to your KVM manager and copies only changed blocks, so backups stay fast and light.

Multi-Layered Threat Detection

Trust what you restore. Avoid reinfection by scanning recovery points with YARA or signature-based scans, confirming your backup is clean before you restore it.

Capabilities

Recovery Options, Not Just Recovery Speed

Native, agentless backups for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization, with Instant VM Recovery and granular restore to meet your RTOs and SLAs.

Native Management-Platform Integration

Skip the workarounds. Veeam talks directly to Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager or Red Hat Virtualization, capturing only the blocks that changed since your last backup.

Cross-Hypervisor Instant Recovery

Spin up a protected VM on VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or Proxmox VE almost instantly, without waiting on the original hypervisor to come back online.

Granular Restore, From Files to Full VMs

Restore an entire VM, a single virtual disk, a guest file or folder, or export a disk as VMDK, VHD, or VHDX, whichever a situation actually calls for.

Application Item Recovery

Pull a single database table, mailbox item, or Microsoft Active Directory object out of a VM-level backup with Veeam Explorers, without restoring and mounting the whole VM first.

Restore Straight to Public Cloud

Move a VM from a backup straight to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, keeping options open beyond your original hypervisor entirely.

Veeam Software Appliance

Deploy backup on a pre-hardened, pre-configured Linux appliance with built-in multi-factor authentication and immutable storage, secure from the first time you log in.
