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 — a key component of the Veeam Availability Platform — solves these issues by closing the gap that some enterprises face with large, heterogeneous or multi-cloud environments and further enables workload mobility by delivering Availability for Windows-based workstations, physical servers and cloud instances.

Backup

Changed block tracking (CBT) driver1 NEW: Improve backup performance and decrease the backup window for server workloads, in comparison to existing driver-less change tracking, to meet more stringent business requirements for mission-critical applications and high transactional workloads

Active full backups: Mitigate risk and ensure backup chain continuity by scheduling periodic active full backups

Synthetic full backups: Eliminate the need for a periodic full Windows backup by creating forever-incremental backups that save time and storage

Application-aware processing1 NEW: Create application-consistent backups with advanced, application-aware processing (including transaction log truncation)

Server-specific scheduling and retention1 NEW: Advanced scheduling options and server-based retention logic to protect most critical server applications, including Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server, Oracle and file servers.
