HPE VM Essentials

[Gostev]

We should have a beta next month.

great news!

Veeam and HPE worked jointly to deliver the best host-based backup integration. HPE's backup API enhancements for VME will be available with their upcoming version 8.0.11, which is planned to be released in the next days. Our beta will depend on this version and we will need to do some testing with this release first. So Anton's statement about the beta timing is spot on.

got word from HPE Tech Marketing. CBT should be coming soon.

Marketing can (and often does) say whatever it takes to sell the product. Whether what they promise comes true is usually an entirely different matter.

@EdFromOhio - I think HPE has been open from the beginning about the integration with Veeam for image based backup. HPE and Veeam had a recent webcast talking about the integration that you can find here: https://paths.ext.hpe.com/r/v100008477? ... de=overlay

While I don't work in marketing now, I did for a long time and I can tell you that in my 30 years of marketing I never said "whatever it takes" to sell the product. Not sure who your experience is with but I don't think it was with me.

Hi,

Now answering the question about CBT support.
I guess than Anton can confirm, VEEAM will support CBT with HPE Morpheus VM Essential at launch whit VM backup image in V13.0.1

[Andreas Neufert]

Yes, Beta will have CBT support. Beta of the VM Essentials plug-in will be available as separate download and is based on Veeam Backup & Replication V13.0.1

If you decide to give beta a try and face any technical issues, please create a separate topic for each individual issue. Ideally please start the topic name from [BETA] [HPE] tags.
