What's New

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure v2 adds the following new features and enhancements:

Hybrid Cloud Ready

  • Unify Azure backup and recovery with other cloud, virtual and physical workloads in Veeam Backup & Replication. This will allow you to backup, recover and migrate data across any cloud, virtual or physical environment for seamless data protection, portability and management.

New enhanced policies and tiered GFS

  • The policy wizard has been completely reworked for more streamlined usage as well as supporting many new features, including:

    • Easier way to select regions and resources
    • Application processing
    • GFS harmonized scheduling options allowing you to choose daily, weekly, monthly and yearly selections
    • Support for different repositories per schedule
    • Tag support for snapshots
    • Improved cost calculation

Backup and recovery

  • Enhanced application consistency ensures zero data loss protection for Azure VMs by using custom pre- and post-scripts in-guest for Windows and Linux instances, and/or VSS for Windows instances.

Miscellaneous

  • Custom tags can now be applied to workers via the RESTful API. These tags will be applied to every deployed worker within the infrastructure.

  • A new repository wizard allows you to select your storage account, container, folder and hot or cool Azure Blob storage tiers.

  • Communication enhancements between the controller and worker means networking is no longer required, resulting in less configuration between vNets of different Azure regions.

  • A notification bell is included, informing you of important notifications such as when new updates are available.

  • A new updater is included, making updates incredibly easy while giving you an overview of everything new that’s included in the update.

  • The manual snapshot wizard is renewed and now includes the possibility to copy the source tags as well as add additional tags of your own. 

  • The time zone of the appliance can now be changed easily through the UI.
