5. Direct restore to Azure
Restore backup from any Veeam backup product to Microsoft Azure: From Backup & Replication, Backup Free edition or Endpoint backup free.
P2V or V2V? Not a problem! This means VMs from any hypervisor or physical machines, even VMs running in any cloud where you can install Endpoint Backup Free or Windows/Linux agents from Veeam are eligible to restore. And it doesn’t matter if you’re running Windows or Linux.
4. Enhanced VMware vCloud Director support for service providers
Let your cloud tenants use native vCloud authentication to access the new self-service backup and restore portal in Enterprise manager. Let them use predefined backup jobs to protect their vApps and restore VMs, vApps or guest files.
3. Proxy affinity
With proxy affinity you can control what proxy servers are allowed to use specific repositories. It’s an easier way with less administration – no need to select individual proxy servers in each and every backup job (if needed) to keep backup traffic local to the site.
2. Cloud Connect for service providers
There are a few functions added to Cloud Connect providers that are not new per se but introduced to Cloud Connect in version 9.5. Such as:
Per-VM backup file chains support
Scale-out Backup repository support
Advanced ReFS integration support
1. Advanced ReFS Integration
Hands down my favorite new function is the ReFS integration. This is a fantastic technology from Microsoft and the integration Veeam made with it in Backup & Replication 9.5 is nothing short of a amazing. Fast clone and spaceless full backup, sounds good right? Who needs dedupe storage anyway? And no need to worry (?) about data integrity with the use of integrity streams that is storage-level corruption guard on steriods.
