Veeam Backup Free Edition

On June 6, 2012 the Veeam Software company provided the successor of the popular FastSCPTM — Veeam BackupTM Free Edition tool. The new product which is released together with Veeam Backup & ReplicationTM 6.1 gives special opportunities of backup and data recovery for the virtual machines (VM) of VMware and Hyper-V. Possibilities of the free version of Veeam Backup Free Edition meet requirements which administrators of VM face every day:

• VeeamZIP: a possibility of fast creation of backup copies of VM on demand for work, archiving or transfer of VM. For example, administrators can execute data backup of VM before creation of patches now, create the archive copy of data of VM or the copy of data for remote test laboratories without need to interrupt work of VM.
• Instant recovery of files: recovery of separate files of users directly from the backup copy at the level of an image.
• File management: easy management of VM and files of hosts.
• Fast migration for VMware: relocation of the working VM of any host or DPC, even without use of clusters or the general DWH.

"The solution Veeam FastSCP became popular right after its exit in 2006, it is used by more than 150.000 fans of virtualization. Thanks to new opportunities, the free solution Veeam Backup Free Edition becomes even more valuable to users and we are very glad that we can give our clients such gift", - Ratmir Timashev, the president and the chief executive of Veeam Software notes.
