Veeam brings Virtual-Labs to Hyper-V
May 22, 2013 – 8:18 am | Comments Off

As you have noticed, Veeam is anouncing Veeam Backup & Replication v7 features one at a time at the go.veeam.com/v7 page. We already announced support for vCloud Director, a vCenter Web Client Plugin and the Veeam Explorer for Sharepoint. Today it is my honor to tell you that Veeam is bringing all the features of Veeam Virtual Labs to Hyper-V. I will explain all major features in just a minute but first I need to explain where all this features are based on.

Veeam

vPower is a Veeam patented technology that enables you to power up a VM from within a deduplicated and compressed backup file. This means that your VM is already back online before you started restoring the actual data to the production environment. Because the machine is already running, the RTO is minimal (minutes). Of course you need to take in mind that you are running on backup storage so you will need to migrate the VM to the production storage. This is done with the allocation to the VHD or VHDX file being pointed to the backup file (where the backed up VHD and VHDX files are stored).
