Veeam Backup & Replication support for Windows Server Hyper-V brings
unprecedented speed and efficiency to Windows Server Hyper-V data
protection. Major first-to-market capabilities include:
- 2-in-1: backup and replication: Provides image-based backup and near-continuous data protection (near-CDP) in a single solution.
- Built-in deduplication and compression: Included at no extra charge, these capabilities minimize consumption of network bandwidth and backup storage.
- Changed block tracking for Windows Server Hyper-V: Exclusive Veeam technology enables fast, frequent and efficient backup and replication of all VMs, including those running on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).
-
Additional differentiators for Windows Server Hyper-V include:
- Agentless: There are no agents to license, deploy, maintain, or monitor.
- Forever incremental: Eliminates the need for full periodic backups by creating new full backups from incremental backups. This is essential when backing up large VMs or over a WAN.
- Instant file-level recovery: Restore Windows guest files directly from an image-level backup.

Femi Adegoke, IT Director, West Gastroenterology
“The
existing solutions we have in place for backup and replication have not
been doing the job for our Windows Server Hyper-V environment. Needless
to say, I am looking forward to feature-rich, agentless backups that
will be delivered in v6.”
Edwin Yuen, Director, Microsoft
“Many organizations that
rely on Windows Server Hyper-V also support other hypervisors. Veeam's
backup and replication solution for Windows Server Hyper-V, which
includes innovations such as changed block tracking, gives customers a
new option for managing their virtualized environments.”
Ramon Ruiz Pacheco, CEO, TocalWeb
“As a hosting provider in
Mexico, we currently have around 2,000 VMs on Windows Server Hyper-V,
and our current backup solution is very problematic. Before deciding on
any other solution, we wanted to try Veeam Backup & Replication v6 since
we have used v5 to effectively back up our entire VMware environment.
During the v6 beta test, everything worked perfect. Our growth on
Windows Server Hyper-V machines is very important and our strategy going
forward is to utilize Veeam Backup & Replication exclusively for all
Windows Server Hyper-V and vSphere environments.”
Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO, Veeam Software
“Veeam
Backup & Replication is the number one product for VMware data
protection as proven by the Best of VMworld 2011 Gold award for New
Technology and more than 25,000 customers worldwide. We are very excited
to bring its powerful functionality to Windows Server Hyper-V users,
where they will use exclusive technology with the fastest backup on the
market today.”
