Veeam Explorers for Microsoft

Full functionality for 30 days

Hassle-free granular recovery anyone can use

Microsoft applications, including SQL, Exchange, Active Directory and SharePoint, typically are most of the item-level restore requests that you get in a week. Traditional application-based methods of restoring entire databases to get a single item back only hurts your recovery SLAs. Veeam® helps to ease the burden with built-in, simple-to-use explorers that accelerate your day-to-day restore requests. Take the guesswork out of both discovery and recovery for Microsoft application items and enable your staff to meet your SLAs.

Perform lightning-fast recovery for the most common items and more with a simple explorer view that unifies recovery for your key Microsoft applications.

Make discovery easy

Locate the application items that you need to recover with ease thanks to the quick browse and live-text search capabilities that look directly into your backups.

You don’t need to be a DBA

Extend and enable your backup administrators and help desk to perform item-level recovery without the need for any specialized training or tools.

FAQ

How does Veeam Backup & Replication perform backup for Active Directory, SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server?

For Microsoft SQL, Exchange, Active Directory and SharePoint, Veeam Backup & Replication™ creates application-consistent, image-level backups by leveraging VSS, ensuring successful recovery of business-critical applications and services and allowing for application-specific restore scenarios.

According to Microsoft limitations, applications cannot be kept frozen longer than for 60 seconds (20 seconds for Microsoft Exchange). If the Microsoft VSS writer keeps application data frozen longer than this period, a VSS processing timeout occurs, and Veeam Backup & Replication fails to create a transaction-consistent backup of the VM. The VSS processing timeout is a common problem for highly transactional applications such as Microsoft Exchange.

To overcome this limitation, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the persistent VSS snapshots technology for backup of Microsoft Exchange VMs. If Microsoft Exchange must be kept frozen for a longer period than the allowed one, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically fails over to the persistent VSS snapshot mechanism.

What type of data recovery does Veeam Backup & Replication provide for Active Directory, SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server?

Veeam provides easy-to-use Veeam Explorers™ to ease the burden of complex application and application-item recovery:

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server allows you to restore and export Microsoft SQL databases and schema objects from backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication.
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange allows you to restore and export Microsoft Exchange objects from backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory allows you to restore and export Active Directory and schema objects from backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication.
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint allows you to restore and export Microsoft SharePoint objects from backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

Does Veeam Backup & Replication perform Microsoft SQL Server database and log backups?

Veeam Backup & Replication can perform Microsoft SQL database log backup and truncation operations that are required to keep SQL storage healthy and running optimally.

To perform transaction log backup, Veeam Backup & Replication installs the Veeam Guest SQL Log Shipper runtime component on the VM guest OS.

The component works during the transaction log backup job session. It collects information about databases that require transaction log backup. It also detects whether it is possible to ship logs directly to the backup repository or if Veeam Backup & Replication must use the log shipping server. When the transaction log backup job session ends, the component is stopped and removed from the VM guest OS. When a new session starts, the component is installed on the VM guest OS again.
