INTRODUCTIONVeeam Backup & Replication is a data protection and disaster recovery solution for VMwarevSphere and Windows Hyper-V virtual environments of any size and complexity. Combining all ofthe necessary functions in one intuitive interface, Veeam Backup & Replication serves to solve themost critical problems of virtualized infrastructure management and protects mission-criticalvirtual machines from both hardware and software failures.Veeam Backup & Replication provides the following features and functionality:Microsoft Hyper-V SupportVeeam Backup & Replication provides full support for Windows Hyper-V, including the newestversion Hyper-V 3.0. Veeam Backup & Replication offers advanced data protection capabilities suchas 2-in-1 backup and replication, Veeam’s proprietary changed block tracking, compression anddeduplication and others for Hyper-V virtual environments. Veeam Backup & Replication workswith standalone Hyper-V Server, SCVMM or Hyper-V clusters.Distributed Backup ArchitectureVeeam Backup & Replication features a distributed backup architecture which helps take backupworkload off the source Hyper-V hosts and backup server and speed up backup, replication andrestore over WANs or slow links. Distributed architecture lets you move data processing to offhostbackup proxies that act as data movers, and backup repositories used as common backuplocations. A single backup server acts as a “point of control” managing several offhost backupproxies and backup repositories across a large backup site or multiple branch offices. Installationand configuration of architecture components is fully automated, which helps streamlinedeployment and maintenance of remote sites and large installations.2-in-1 Backup and ReplicationTo provide the most comprehensive protection of your virtual environment,Veeam Backup & Replication complements backup capabilities with image-based replication. Youcan back up any VM, VM container or VM disk, or replicate VMs on-site for high availability or offsite for disaster recovery, across local area and wide area networks.By utilizing advanced technologies, such as Veeam’s native changed block tracking mechanism forHyper-V VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication delivers unprecedented replication speed. It providesnear-continuous data protection (or near-CDP) at a fraction of cost of traditional CDP systems –you can capture changes and update VM images as often as every few minutes.Advanced Replication OptionsVeeam Backup & Replication
