Veeam is well known product for VMware Administrators, as this is part of their daily operations like taking VM snapshot backups, restore & backup failure issues. How about physical servers? Veeam can take the backups for physical servers & desktops? Here is the new feature from Veeam to answer these questions.
Due to various factors, including complex hardware configurations and regulatory compliance requirements, some physical servers and workstations cannot be virtualized. And everyday occurrences such as lapses in connectivity, hardware failures, file corruption — even ransomware or theft — can leave an organization’s data at risk. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows solves these issues and also closes the gap that some enterprises face with large, heterogeneous environments and further enables workload mobility by delivering Availability for cloud-based workloads.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a data protection and disaster recovery solution for physical and virtual machines. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows can be used to protect different types of computers and devices: desktops, laptops and tablets. The solution can be installed on any computer that runs the following OSes:
- Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 or later
- Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 or later
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows offers a variety of features to protect your data. You can:
- Create a Veeam Recovery Media on an external hard drive, USB flash drive, CD/DVD/BD, or create an ISO file with the Veeam Recovery Media on disk.
- Create an entire system image backup, back up specific computer volumes or individual folders with files. Backups can be stored on an external hard drive, in a network shared folder or on a Veeam backup repository.
In case of a disaster, you can perform the following restore operations:
- Start the OS from the Veeam Recovery Media and use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and standard Microsoft Windows tools to diagnose and fix problems.
