Veeam Backup & Replication v6
More great reasons to choose Veeam
TECTRADE B.V Dimitri de Swart
What’s coming in v6
Enterprise scalability
Advanced replication
Multi-hypervisor support
Numerous enhancements, including
Building on the success of v5
Continued innovation with vPower
● Run a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file
● Automatically create and maintain isolated virtual labs
New patent-pending capabilities reinvent data protection
1. Instant VM Recovery: recover an entire VM in less than 2 minutes 2. U-AIR: recover individual emails, database records, etc. from a
regular image-level backup—without agents, special indexes or extra backups 3. Sure Backup: verify the recoverability of every backup
Building on the success of v5
(continued) Impressive results
● In the lab: for example, VM recovery 77x faster
● With actual customers
Explosive customer growth
● 25,000+ customers
● 1,800,000+ VMs
● Adding nearly 1,500 new customers every month
What’s coming in v6
Enterprise scalability
Advanced replication
Multi-hypervisor support
Numerous enhancements, including
Enterprise scalability
Enhanced distributed architecture
● Before: Backup Server
Now: Backup Server + Proxy Server + Repository Server
● Significant improvement in replication to ESXi
● Also allows backup to remote storage/over WAN
(e.g., cloud-based backup)
Intelligent load balancing—within and across jobs
● Not just round robin—considers datastore connection,
parallel tasks, etc.
● Eliminates backup storms and target saturation
Enterprise scalability
(continued) Simple scale-out
● Lightweight proxies
● Automated deployment and maintenance
● Streamlines ROBO and large-scale installations
Enhanced Enterprise Manager
● Edit and clone jobs
“We didn’t think Veeam could get any better, but they continue to listen to their customers and once again outdid themselves with the new release. We’re especially eager to take advantage of the enhanced distributed architecture in v6, which will fully automate maintenance of the backup infrastructure in our seven regional offices.”

Numerous enhancements, including
Why replication?
Virtualization enables cost-effective replication
● Inexpensive standby hosts
● Dissimilar storage
● VM-level (not application-specific)
Virtualization enables unified data protection
● Image-based incremental backup
● Image-based incremental replication
● Only difference is the target
Advanced replication
10x faster
● Leverages the enhanced distributed architecture
● Uses VADP’s Hot Add mode to perform writes
● Also speeds up restores (and unlike Direct SAN mode, provides fast restores even on VMware thin provisioned disks)
Improved failover
● Re-IP
● Re-home (for example, data center migrations)
Real failback
● 1-click and confirm—for one or several VMs
● Delta sync
Advanced replication
(continued) Other enhancements
● Seed from backup
● Replica mapping
● Preserve thin disks
● Replicate to cluster
What’s coming in v6
Enterprise scalability
Advanced replication
Multi-hypervisor support
Numerous enhancements, including
2-in-1 backup and replication for Hyper-V
Comprehensive data protection
Changed block tracking for Hyper-V
Fast incremental backup—20x faster
Near-CDP
Built-in compression and deduplication
Manage large volume of data generated by image-based backups
Included at no extra charge
Single license, install and console
Same data protection infrastructure
but still hypervisor-specific (e.g., volume- vs. VM-level snapshot)
Unified data protection across hypervisors
Additional differentiators
Free license swaps
Restore VM on any Hyper-V host
What’s coming in v6
Enterprise scalability
Advanced replication
Multi-hypervisor support
Numerous enhancements, including
1-Click File Restore
Enhancement to existing IFLR
IFLR = file-level recovery from an image-level backup
Restore directly from search: 10:1 reduction in number of steps
1-Click File Restore
(continued) Restore directly to original location
● Uses guest interaction APIs
● Does not require:
Direct network connection to VM
User permissions on host or VM
Agent in host or VM
Delegate file restores
● New ―File Restore Operator‖ role
● Delegated operator does not need permissions on backup files, the host or the VM
● Secure: files restored directly to original location
Other enhancements
1-click VM restore
VM migration for VMware … and more
VM migration for VMware
Wizard to migrate one or more VMs from:
● One host to another
● One datastore to another
● Both
Instant VM Recovery aware
Uses VMware vMotion and Storage vMotion, when available
Otherwise uses new Veeam Quick Migration technology
● Between standalone hosts
● To new storage
VM migration for VMware
(continued) Also uses new Veeam SmartSwitch technology, when possible
● Eliminates downtime from power down/power up
