Veeam Backup and Replication 6.1

Posted on: 18th June 2012

Veeam continues to advance the backup of virtual machines with Veeam Backup & Replication 6.1.

Just 6 months after the release of 6.0, version 6.1 introduces powerful new functionality for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V.

Version 6.1 includes a new capability for performing ad-hoc backups. In many ways, it functions like a zip utility for VMs. For this reason, it’s called VeeamZIP.

One of the first things you’ll notice about version 6.1 is the new console. While wizards and dialogs (which account for 90% of the user interface) haven’t changed, it’s now easier to get to them.

Enhancements include:

• Use of Microsoft design standards
• Dynamic nodes
• Extensibility
• Instant search

Version 6.1 extends Veeam’s patent-pending vPower technology—as well as Instant VM recovery— to Hyper-V.

Version 6.1 also includes a number of other enhancements, as well as all fixes for version 6.0.
