Well, with the General Release by choosing the option of repository for your backup destination you can. When I first started looking at the product I made a wish list, one point being the ability to monitor and alert on EndPoints through Enterprise Manager. This is the icing on the cake for businesses using Veeam Backup and Replication. The Veeam Backup and Replication Repository is not available in the beta but will be in the general release. Veeam Backup and Replication Repository.You can either double-click the icon and see the console page as shown in Fig 2 and click the link ‘Configure Backup’ or you can right-click on it and choose from the pop-up menu. To access the application you will see a new system tray icon as shown in Fig1 I saw from the console a warning that I did not create recovery media but it offered no link to launch the ‘Create Recovery Media’.Īs with every product you have the prerequisites of minimum RAM, CPU etc… see belowĪt installation, you have the option to be guided through your backup configuration but if you choose to configure later you can set it up manually. To create the media later you need to run the ‘Create Recovery Media’ application – one thing I would like to see is a link from the main console to this. I chose not to do this whilst installing the product for the lab and instead carried on without it. The product likes you to create bootable recovery media from the outset. I won’t go through the whole installation process as it is a typical next, next, next affair and with a couple of questions thrown in. So to be able to back up the few physical servers I have and keep myself aligned to a single backup and recovery vendor is ideal. I certainly keep my backup servers physical with direct SAN access so as not to add additional I/O to some of my infrastructures. But realistically there are a number of businesses that have physical servers, even when they have virtualised their servers and business applications.Īn example of such is vCentre server (again V or P is an argument for another day), one domain controller, and the backup servers. I know the argument is that in today’s cloud infrastructures and data centres there is no room for physical servers. One element I always felt they missed was the protection of physical endpoints. I have had a long relationship with Veeam Backup and Replication, I have used it since its initial release, mainly in managed cloud environments and have seen the product grow into what it is today. It’s quite a long blog, so bear with it as it does cover all the aspects of the product.

So with the release of Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE imminent (yes the word ‘FREE’ is part of the product name), I thought I would write a blog about my experience of using the beta version of the product.
