Agenda

vPower Overview 5 vPower features

• Instant VM Recovery (demo)• Universal-Application Item Recovery or U-AIR (demo)• File-Level recovery from any file system• Recovery Verification (demo)• Using Virtual Labs to make your developers, DBAs and users happy

(demo)

Existing tools aren’t doing the job

Traditional backup● Agent in each VM

● Full VM recovery is complex

● Expensive

● Does not guarantee recoverability

Traditional image-based backup● Backs up the entire VM at the VMware level (image)

● Full VM recovery is very easy

● No verification of crash-consistent image

Traditional image-based recovery● Might be able to recovery some guest files

● Does not address application items

Veeam Backup & Replication

vPower

Breakthrough technology

Publishes the backup as a regular VMDK file● Compressed, deduplicated, incremental

Runs a VM directly from the backup file● Runs on regular backup storage● Does not make any changes to the backup file

Automatically manages an isolated virtual lab● Workflow engine manages requests● Proxy appliance provides access into the isolated environment

“This is why I love Veeam. They take all the virtualization technology pieces on the table and put them together into a functioning business solution.”

Instant VM recovery

Fast: start VM directly from backup file

Readily available:uses existing backupsand backup storage

Buys you time:users keep working whileyou troubleshootthe problem

How it works

Publishes the contents of the backup file as a datastore that an ESX(i) host can connect to

Uses vPower NFS server

Works with compressed, deduplicated and incremental backups

Use Storage vMotion, replication or hot VM copy to complete the recovery

Demo

U-AIR

No application-specific agents to licenseNo additional products to buyNo special backups to create

Supports ANY virtualized application

Durable—not tied to application internals

Supports administrator- and user-directed recovery● Wizards for administrator-directed item recovery from

Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL Server● User-directed item recovery from ANY application or database

Maintains separation of permissions between backup administrators and application owners
