Veeam Backup & Replication
for VMware Infrastructure
If you own a virtual IT infrastructure based on the VMware solution, you will surely need Veeam. We guarantee your satisfaction! Veeam Backup & Replication is a system for creating backup copies and replicas of the virtual VMware infrastructure.
Veeam is the first solution on the market for removing the effects of failures for VMware Infrastructure 3, combining tools for creating backup copies and replicas of the virtual environment in one product. As one of the first in Poland, Datacom began cooperation with the company Veeam Software and currently holds the status Silver Partner.
BACKUP AND DISASTER RECOVERY
Veeam Backup & Replication for VMware Infrastructure
A groundbreaking disaster recovery solution for VMware Infrastructure 3 that combines backup and replication in one product.
Veeam Backup & Replication is the first enterprise-ready solution that combines backup and replication in a single product for fast recovery of your VMware ESX servers.
As virtualization increasingly handles mission-critical production workloads, organizations must be assured of effective backup and appropriately fast recovery of the virtual infrastructure. Balancing cost with flexibility is the key: some data requires replication to ensure business continuity, while other data is best backed up and recovered using less expensive hardware and techniques. Veeam Backup & Replication offers both techniques – backup and replication – through one interface, in one product, at one price.
2-in-1: Backup and Replication
With Veeam Backup & Replication organizations can benefit from a unified solution for both backup and replication to protect virtual machines from both hardware and software failure. Both backup techniques can be optionally used with the VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) framework, reducing the load on ESX servers and allowing for faster back up. Simply choose the option that is right for each virtual machine, and manage them all with Veeam Backup & Replication.
Full ESXi support with and without VCB
While others promise – Veeam delivers! Veeam Backup is the only VMware backup solution that lets you backup and restore virtual machines running on ESXi without requiring VCB.
File-level recovery for Windows & Linux
Veeam’s fast file-level recovery feature allows you to restore individual files from your image-level backups and replicas in seconds, without having to extract the full VM image to your local drive. And you can extract individual files to the latest state or to a specific point in time. This capability also means you no longer have to back up your data twice in order to have both file-level and image-level recovery readily available. Veeam’s file-level recovery supports most major operating and file systems, including Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac and others.
Database-consistent backup
Veeam Backup & Replication leverages Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) functionality to ensure consistent backups of the applications within your virtual machines. Unlike other vendors featuring limited VSS support, Veeam provides the most complete implementation of VSS support, equipping you for proper restore of VSS-aware applications.
Reduced storage costs with data de-duplication
When performing backups of multiple virtual machines, Veeam Backup & Replication de-duplicates similar blocks inside the backup file. De-duplication provides exceptional results when you back up multiple virtual machines created from a single template, or VMs with gigabytes of free space on their pre-allocated logical drives. Data de-duplication reduces disk space requirements for your backups, which results in significant cost savings. Veeam Backup & Replication 3.0 also offers a compatibility mode for storage devices using hardware de-duplication.
Faster backup and restore with synthetic backup
Veeam Backup & Replication uses a synthetic backup technique that allows you to do a full backup only once, and incrementally back up only the changes in all subsequent runs. During each incremental backup, the software rebuilds the last full image to the most recent state, and calculates a reverse increment to store the historical change data. This provides you with a full VM image for quickest restore to the latest state, while reverse increments allow for restoration to any point in time in case of software corruption.
Replica rollback
Backups and replicas produced with Veeam Backup & Replication can be easily restored to a particular point in time. This protects your infrastructure against both hardware and software corruptions – such as in the case of a virus – when software corruption is usually noticed only after a few replication cycles happen.
Integration with VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)
To achieve the smallest backup window, Veeam Backup & Replication leverages VMware snapshots and optionally integrates with the VCB framework. Using its proprietary “VCB on-the-fly” technology, Veeam Backup & Replication does not require storing VM images on the VCB proxy during backup, allowing for faster backup directly to the target without requiring additional VCB proxy disk space. Veeam Backup & Replication also supports incremental backup through VCB, which is not supported natively.
REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION
Veeam Reporter
Veeam Reporter tells you all there is to know about your VMware Infrastructure, in virtually no time.
Veeam Reporter collects information about your VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) environment, its components and configuration settings. From this collection, it provides comprehensive visual reports for analysis, documentation and decision-making support. Designed for professional use by ESX administrators, system integrators and datacenter managers, it is fully integrated with VMware VirtualCenter and ESX Server.
Discover in minutes
With Veeam Reporter, discovery of entire infrastructure usually takes from one to five minutes and requires almost no human interaction. This is a tremendous time saver for IT administrators.
Analyze in Visio
Take full advantage of professional Visio reports of your VI3 environment automatically generated by Veeam Reporter.
Document in Excel, Word and PDF
Report every detail of ESX or VirtualCenter configuration settings in different file formats. Microsoft Visio is a great tool for visualizing and analyzing the virtual infrastructure.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING
Veeam Monitor
The new standard for performance monitoring, capacity planning and troubleshooting for your entire VMware Infrastructure.
Veeam Monitor is an easy-to-deploy, framework-independent VMware monitoring solution designed to meet the day-to-day needs of VMware administrators.
Built from the ground up specifically for the virtual world, Veeam Monitor provides support for troubleshooting and issue resolution, as well as trend reporting and capacity planning - equipping you to proactively manage Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3) system health and performance today and over the long term.
With Veeam Monitor, you can view both real-time and historical resource usage data for any virtual infrastructure object, as well as known infrastructure events, all on a single screen.
This allows you to finally see your Virtual Infrastructure as a unified entity, not just a collection of isolated guests. Once you determine what is causing a specific performance issue, you can drill down into individual virtual machines, view their running processes, and even terminate some of the processes as needed – all from the Veeam Monitor interface. Or you can simply connect to the VM console to resolve the issue with the OS user interface – without leaving Veeam Monitor.
- Scalable architecture
- Performance analysis
- Correlation of event and performance data
- Capacity planning and trend analysis
- Advanced alerting and flexible alarms with modeling
- User interface optimized for monitoring
