request compression capabilities for free endpoint backup

[dcm-ebb]

I am using the free endpoint backup for a few key users. I am looking to get a compression capability, similar to what is available in Backup & Recovery.

Are there any plans to roll this out? I love the ability to integrate the free endpoint backup with the repository for B & R. Willing to pay for compression feature if that is what is necessary.

Any plans for a paid version of endpoint backup that will give additional capabilities?

Hi Ed,
Welcome to community! Compression is enabled by default in VEB but it works per job.

Any plans for a paid version of endpoint backup that will give additional capabilities?

Sure. We will have a new Veeam Agent for Windows 2.0 (former Veeam Endpoint Backup) in Free, Workstation and Server modes with different sets of features.

I see what I was doing wrong with the backup. I had some extra drives on a few of the VMs so it looked like the backups were not compressing, when in reality they were filled with more data than needed. I did a fresh volume level backup and am getting same compression rates as with the machines I am backing up using Backup & Replication. I am a very satisfied customer, very much looking forward to see what comes in the next iteration.
