VEEAM BACKUP FREE EDITION INSTALL
I’m using a Windows 2012 R2 server for this install guide and it allows me to mount an ISO as a virtual DVD.
VEEAM BACKUP FREE EDITION SOFTWARE
Installing Veeam Backup Free edition V9.īefore you continue you’ll need to go to Veeam’s website and create an account to download the Backup software ISO. There is much goodness and value in the paid versions. However I would still recommend going with one of the paid for versions if you are looking at backing up VM’s in a production environment. I tend to do some fairly destructive things to my lab and this saves time rebuilding. For a small shop, home lab, small engineering environment its perfect. This is great because you can now script around the limitation of “one VM at a time” and I use this script myself to backup my home lab. However you can do some scripting around this as sometime last year Veeam decided to allow some powershell CMDLETs to be called in the free version.
I’m guessing that VMware called in a favour there. In addition it doesn’t work on the free version of ESXi.
With the free version of the backup product you can only backup one VM at a time in the GUI, which could be cumbersome. Where I used to work we used the free version of Veeam One for quite a while before we made the jump to the paid version. There are limitations, of course, but you can still monitor and backup the products. What Veeam have always done, as far as I can remember, is offer free versions of their products. The other backup vendors are catching up and more choice is starting to appear in the market but Veeam still have the edge and because of this are the clear leaders, in my opinion, for VM backups. Veeam have done an amazing job with their backup product and it wasn’t too long ago that if you wanted to backup your VM’s then Veeam was the only realistic choice. Most notable of those are Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam One (their monitoring and backup products) Just over a couple of weeks ago now, Veeam released version 9 of their product suite.
