Veeam Backup Free Edition


Veeam Backup Free Edition is an effective tool for backup, recovery and management of a virtual environment, especially remembered for our users with the functionality of VeeamZIP . VeeamZIP allows you to create full backups of virtual machines without having 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 restrictions 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 file (VBK).


Veeam ONE Free Edition


Experience and common sense suggest that it is often easier to prevent a problem than to disassemble its consequences. Veeam ONE Free Edition is a free monitoring tool that allows you to monitor VMware and Hyper-V environments and troubleshoot issues before they affect your infrastructure. The main objective of the tool is to eliminate the causes of headaches for IT administrators through real-time notifications about events requiring his attention, the possibility of prioritizing the allocation of resources, the creation of dynamic groups of resources, etc.

With it, you can quickly backup both the entire computer and individual files or folders to external storage, to a shared NAS folder or to the Veeam Backup & Replication repository. In any abnormal situation, be it a defeat of a virus and inaccessibility of data (hello, Wana decrypt0r ), an error loading the OS, etc., you can recover the necessary information in minutes and get back to work. The latest version supports recovery of backup physical machines in Microsoft Azure or in the form of Hyper-V VMs, the creation of synthetic full backups and many other cool features.
