Welcome to cat.
Veeam Backup Free Edition
Veeam Backup Free Edition is an effective tool for backing up, restoring and managing a virtual environment, which is especially remembered by our users for VeeamZIP functionality . VeeamZIP allows you to create full backups of virtual machines without the need to shut them down and store them locally, in a network folder or on a removable device (USB or external hard drive). Another cool feature of the free edition is that the license is not temporary and has no limitations on the number of VMs in VMware or Hyper-V environments.
When creating a VeeamZIP file, Veeam Backup Free Edition copies the VM data, compresses it and saves it to a full backup (VBK) file.
Veeam ONE Free Edition
Experience and common sense suggest that it is often easier to prevent a problem than to then analyze its consequences. Veeam ONE Free Edition is a free monitoring tool that lets you monitor VMware and Hyper-V environments and identify problems before they affect your infrastructure. The main task of the tool is to eliminate the headaches of IT administrators by means of real-time notifications of events that require its attention, the ability to prioritize resource allocation, create dynamic resource groups, etc.
When events that are potentially dangerous for the managed environment occur, a notification is triggered. Users can view all Veeam ONE notifications. For each notification, there is a knowledge base article that details the problem, its causes, solutions, and links to additional sources.
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a simple and effective tool for backing up and restoring data from computers, laptops and physical servers running Windows. With it, you can quickly backup both the entire computer and individual files or folders to external media, to the NAS shared folder or to the Veeam Backup & Replication repository. In any emergency situation, be it a virus infection and data inaccessibility (hi, Wana decrypt0r ), an error loading the OS, etc., you can restore the necessary information in minutes and get back to work. The latest version supports the recovery of backup physical machines in Microsoft Azure or as a Hyper-V VM, the creation of synthetic full backups and many other cool features.
From Veeam Agent backups, you can restore individual files and folders. They can be searched inside the backup and restored to both the original and the new location.
Veeam Agent for Linux FREE
Veeam Agent for Linux FREE is a novelty in our arsenal that allows you to backup physical Linux machines to the public cloud. The agent creates a backup at the image level for volumes, files, or the entire system. It is easy to use and is suitable even for inexperienced users (admins). Management is via the command line or graphical interface (GUI).
You can view the current backup session, as well as detailed statistics of completed sessions.
Bonus: Visio Element Set for VMware, Hyper-V, and Veeam
As a bonus, keep a set of Visio elements for VMware, Hyper-V, and Veeam so you can draw cool charts. They can be used in Microsoft Visio 2010, 2013, and 2016 for presentations, reports, and documentation.
Conclusion
Free tools have wide functionality and capabilities that cover a large number of requirements for data integrity and availability. A complete list of free Veeam tools can be found here .
