    • You can leverage fast clone technology which will provide much faster synthetic full backup operations, and also use space-less full backup technology reducing the amount of disk consumption required.
  • NFS backup repository
    • That’s right, you no longer need a Linux server to host your NFS shares, and it can be accessed native within Veeam for use as a repository.
  • Linux backup proxy
    • Setup Linux systems as hot-add proxies! You are not locked to an appliance and can use your preferred Linux distribution.
  • Network-less guest processing
    • This is for Linux VMs that Veeam cannot access the OS via the network. Using the vSphere guest interaction API, Veeam can access the guest OS via the ESXi host.
