But I dont' think you can schedule it - well maybe you can with PowerShell.
The Endpoint Recovery tool is fully automated.
Veeam Backup & Recovery (VeeamZip) is the one that must be scheduled via PowerShell. Somebody release a script that would set that up for you. I'll see if I can find it.
Wow - now that makes no sense what so ever.
They release the free, but non gui scheduled VM solution, but then release a gui schedulable bare metal solution... shakes head
-
ha ha ha. No argument there. The advantage of the Veeam B & R (everything is GUI except for the scheduling from what I gather) is that you get central control over your backup repository... which is most likely a must when dealing with a bunch of VMs...
With Endpoint Recovery, everything is stand alone. Each device (physical or vm) has to be setup and configured, and scheduled, etc, etc... A major headache if you have more than a few VMs.
-
I think we need someone around here to have Veeam ERT in a lab and show what all it can do, what it can't, how to use it, etc. Not enough known about it.
-
Hit up your contacts and add software to the NTG Lab.
They do have a Veeam B & R free, but I'm not sure about limitations other than scheduling.

You responded while I was editing. I mean the Endpoint product.

@scottalanmiller maybe I should do a walkthrough of it on one of my systems... I may do that and post it here.

Well another major limitation to the B&R free besides scheduling is individual file restore - Pretty sure you have to restore the whole thing.

Oh well... that's probably not going to work out very well then. Neat feature to have full desktop recovery but file recovery is generally pretty big on the scale of things needed.

Hold on - That might only apply to the B&R product, not the Endpoint product.. I don't know if it does or not.

Endpoint recovery can do individual files. It is a bit slower to backup though.

According to this, File level is free...

Not bad then, might make sense.
