“Backup used to be a project in itself, but Veeam turned it into a really easy,
automated process that instills confidence in our team.”
“Veeam is at the forefront of embracing new ideas and technology. We’ve downloaded several updates since installing the solutions, and with each update we’ve noticed that Veeam
functionality is right in line with the path we’re taking our business.”

Application-Item Recovery
Explorer for Exchange
instant recovery of mailbox items
- Visibility into Exchange 2010 and 2013 VM backups.
- Browse, search and restore mailboxes and mailbox contents.
- Export, email or restore directly back to Exchange, or even Office 365.
- Recover from hard deleted items (that were both created and deleted since last backup)
- Twist: 1-Click Exchange item recovery in Enterprise Manager (useful for
Explorer for SharePoint
instant recovery of sharepoint items
- Visibility into SharePoint 2010 and 2013 VM backups.
- Browse, search and restore
SharePoint objects (including form templates, documents, pictures and reports)
Explorer for AD
instant recovery of active directory items
- Visibility into Active Directory 2003
(and higher) VM backups.
- Browse, search and restore any Active Directory objects, to the same or different location.
- Compare the backup state with the current Active Directory partition to quickly find changes.
- Twist: Restores original password for account objects.
Explorer for SQL
precise recovery of SQL databases
- Visibility into SQL 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 VM backups.
- Browse and restore SQL databases to a specific point in time via
transaction log replay.
- 1-Click self-restore in Enterprise Manager (no VM name required)
- Twist: Built-in agentless transaction log backup for low RPO SQL
protection.
- Non-persistent log saving process is pushed during normal backup window and saves logs at specified intervals.
- VLB files contain all logs collected in the same period (using CPU friendly LZ4 compression) for a single increment in the backup chain.
Have specific reports and statistics for SQL, handled by engine but not visible as separate jobs in the interface.

Replication and Failover
support for replication and planned failover
VM-level HA and DR host-based
replication using various optimizations with multiple restore points.
- Incremental near-CDP replication with WAN acceleration. - Re-IP on failover and real
failback with delta sync.
- 1-Click failover with defined startup order for VMs.
- Twist! Replication from backup file as source.
New
WAN Acceleration
Cloud Connect
use or become a dedicated cloud provider
- Uses backup copy and WAN acceleration (if licensed on customer side).
- Hosted offsite backup to a cloud repository through an SSL connection.
- 10-minute setup, multi-tenant support, resource
management, scale-out architecture and encryption.
Service provider licensing (monthly rental) available through Veeam Cloud Provider program, costs for end-users depend on the provider.
Cloud Connect
can be a live DR site, not just store data
Cloud Provider serves as a disaster recovery site, offsite backup becomes more powerful: - Restore files and individual
application items.
- Use backup as a starting point for a replication job (cloud seeding, requires VPN)
- Instant VM recovery (and
possibly site failover, requires VPN).
End-to-End Encryption
protect data at source, in flight and at rest
File encryption uses two restore keys, one for the user and one stored in Enterprise Manager, allowing restores even if the user key is forgotten.
Uses a fixed AES 256-bit key, with CPU extensions this produces little to no overhead.
For restore the user sends the enterprise admin the file’s unique blob, based on this the enterprise admin
generates a restore blob.
Data in transit can be encrypted using SSL.
Enterprise Manager
1-click restore of files and application items - Manages several Veeam
Backup and Replication servers.
- Enables 1-Click restore for files (indexed), VMs and
application-items.
- Provides granular rights
Self-Service Restore
Using existing permissions to delegate restores - Self-service rights scoping
based on existing VM
3. For VMware a SAN snapshot can be used to speed up the backup (BoSS).
For Hyper-V the external VSS snapshot can leverage hardware VSS and for Hyper-V 2012 R2 the internal VSS snapshot will use a VM snapshot
1. Prior to backup the VM is made application consistent (quiesced) using VSS or the
hypervisor integration tools.
2. For VMware: a VM snapshot is taken For Hyper-V: an internal and external VSS
snapshot is made.
At this point a backup can be made.
Application Aware Image Processing
Backup off Storage Snapshots (BoSS)
speed up backup creation for VMware
- Use storage snapshots for Veeam backup creation (up 20x faster) as it leverages CBT.
- Support for HP VSA, LeftHand, P4000 and 3PAR and NetApp ONTAP 8.1 or later, includes IBM N-series
(FlexClone licensing recommended but not required).
Explorer for Storage Snapshots
speed up restore from storage snapshots for VMware
- Fast restore from storage snapshots, including: Instant VM recovery, guest file restore,
application-items for Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL, and AD.
+ NetApp specific functionality
Leverage SnapVault and SnapMirror, allowing you to easily meet the 3-2-1 rule, where you have
copies of your Veeam-created application consistent snapshots!
EMC DataDomain Integration
speed up backup time by up to 50%
- Support for EMC Data Domain Boost
(DD OS 5.4) offers faster backups and lower network usage (EMC boost license required).
- Lower RPO: certified support shows 50% performance improvement.
- Twist: Support for Fibre Channel connectivity allows LAN free backup.
ExaGrid Integration
significantly speed up backup time
New
- Built-in Veeam Accelerated Data Mover on ExaGrid (Firmware 4.7+) offers faster backups and lower network usage. - Entire synthetic full creation happens
on ExaGrid appliance.
Backup I/O Control
monitor the load on production during backup
I/O control monitors production storage during backup, allowing backup despite production workload:
- Configure storage latency before backup multiprocessing is limited. - Configure storage latency before the
backup is throttled.
Snapshot Hunter
avoid snapshot consolidation errors in VMware
Provides additional verification of snapshot consolidation in vSphere:
- Actively monitor the vSphere estate for VMs with stuck snapshots (that exist on disk but are no longer visible in the UI) and will attempt to consolidate these periodically.
Tape Support
send files and backups to tape
Support for sending files and backup copies to tape devices with windows drivers, LTO3 and above.
Backup and Replication
v8
additional new features in
- Shared VHDX backup, pre-freeze and post-thaw script support for Hyper-V
- Hardware VSS snapshot and CBT driver enhancements for Hyper-V
