We had the pleasure of taking part at IP Expo this week and had the fortune to be next to the Veeam stand – a key partner for dataplex. On the first day a rather important announcement was made – the availability of Backup & Replication 5.0
This version includes the SureBackup functionality released earlier this year.
Released as vPower technology the following new functionalities are provided:
- Instant VM Recovery, which lets you run a virtual machine (VM) from a compressed and de-duplicated backup file.
- Universal Application-Item Recovery (U-AIR), provides object-level recovery from any virtualised application or OS.
- SureBackup Recovery Verification, which provides validity verification for all your backups. By creating a VM in an isolated environment and running it directly from the backup file, it will start the VM, boot the OS and verify if everything is running normally
- On-Demand Sandbox, in which you can start VMs from a backup file in a sandboxed environment for testing, training or troubleshooting purposes.
- Instant File-Level Recovery, to recovery an entire VM or individual file from the same image-level backup, by mounting a point in time backup to the VM.
Other enhancements are related to:
- Guest File System indexing
- Engine
- Backup
- Replication
- Application aware image processing
- Restore
- Jobs
- Enterprise Manager
- Setup.
Another nice release by Veeam.
