Businesses of all sizes receive benefits from virtualizing
Tier 1 applications such as resource allocation, high availability, workload
customization, and mobility. Although great benefits are provided, virtualizing
Tier 1 application workloads also brings challenges that are associated with
disaster recovery, management of the virtual infrastructure, and data
protection. Veeam has extensive experiencing helping enable virtualization of
Tier 1 applications for today’s businesses that demand constant access to data,
efficient management of exploding data growth, and minimal downtime though
backup, monitoring, replication, and management of the virtual machines (VMs).
Veeam added Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange to Veeam Backup & Replication almost two years ago. This provided access inside the
Exchange .EDB database file from within the Veeam backup file, allowing
granular recovery of items from an Exchange database to a running Exchange
server in minutes instead of hours, all without agents. Veeam Backup &
Replication v8 introduces additional features for Veeam Explorer for Microsoft
Exchange including a web-based restore portal for help desk operators and the
ability to recover hard deleted items.
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint soon followed and
made it possible to restore and backup everything in a SharePoint environment.
This allowed the .MDF database to be available from within the backup file with
item level granular recovery features to the running SharePoint servers without
the need for software agents.
With v8 of Backup & Replication, Veeam introduces Veeam
Explorer for SQL and Veeam Explorer for Active Directory. Veeam Explorer for
SQL allows fast, transaction-level recovery of SQL databases in an easy-to-use
interface. With a 1-Click restore back
to the original location, digging through a file-level system or knowing where
the database or log files are located are no longer an issue. Veeam Explorer
for SQL provides agentless transaction log backup and restore that allows users
to restore SQL databases to a specific point in time while ensuring low
recovery point and recovery time objectives (RTOs and RPOs).
Item-level recovery is made simple with Veeam Explorer for
Active Directory. This allows users to easily recover individual Active
Directory objects, computer passwords, individual user accounts, entire
containers and organizational units instantly. Accessing and recovering
accidental deletions or service accounts that need the password changed on
every server that used that account is made easy with Veeam Explorer for
Microsoft Active Directory. There is no need to extract the entire VM, perform
or restore into isolation, or install an agent on the domain control.
With these additions and upgrades to Veeam Explorer for
Microsoft Exchange, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL, and Veeam Explorer for
Active Directory, Veeam continues to deliver the tools necessary to manage
virtualized Tier-1 applications. All Veeam Explorers will be included in Veeam
Backup & Replication v8, aimed for release in the second half of 2014.
