Veeam Software today announced general availability of Veeam Backup 2.0, a product offering both backup and replication for virtual environments. Version 2.0 includes added functionality, as well as a new optimized backup engine that allows for up to five times faster backup and replication performance than the 1.0 version.
Major new features in Veeam Backup 2.0 include:
Five times faster — Veeam Backup 2.0 has a new optimized backup
engine, which allows for up to five times faster backup and replication
performance than the previous version. Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) support — Veeam Backup 2.0
leverages VSS to ensure consistent backup and recovery of VSS-aware
applications, including Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft
SQL Server. ESXi support — Now customers can back up ESXi servers using VMware
Consolidated Backup (VCB). File-level recovery is fully supported for
guests running on ESXi, and full image restore is supported to ESX 3.x
servers. These images can then be VMotioned to ESXi as needed. Enhanced reporting and notification — Comprehensive real-time job
statistics are available, including automated e-mail notification of backup
job status, activity and performance details. Backup portability — Veeam Backup users can now easily import backups
made using previous versions of the software, or backups that have been
archived to tape. Support for third-party tape backup systems — Now users can specify a
script to automatically run when the VMware backup is finished, initiating
tape backups to begin.
