Veeam Backup & Replication™ Ensures Consistent, Reliable Backups of Virtual Environment

Reading, UK, February 17, 2010 – Veeam Backup & Replication, the #1 backup solution for VMware environments, has increased backup speed of virtual servers by 98 percent at The Pensions Trust, one of the UK’s leading multi-employer occupational pension funds for the charitable, social, educational, voluntary and not-for-profit sectors. Veeam Software, innovative provider of systems management tools for VMware virtual datacenter environments, has released new versions of the software twice each year since it debuted in February 2008 and introduced a number of innovations for data protection in virtualized environments. These includes “2-in-1” as backup and replication (near CDP) are combined in one product; instant file-level recovery for Windows and Linux from an image-level backup; and the first to fully support VMware vSphere and vStorage.

“Veeam Backup & Replication is totally brilliant,” explained Darren Bull, business support manager for The Pensions Trust. “It’s much faster than the first-generation backup and recovery tool we previously used for virtual servers. I can back up the 800 gigabyte main file server in 10 minutes; the other backup system took eight to nine hours to do the same job, if it worked at all.”

Ensuring consistent, reliable backups of the virtual environment was a necessity at The Pensions Trust. Bull said each revision of the previous product deteriorated, which meant he and his team were constantly monitoring backups because they failed continually. “I used to spend countless hours monitoring and manually troubleshooting the old system, which included nights and weekends,” he said. “Now that we use Veeam Backup & Replication, a huge weight has been lifted.”
