License question

Post by jlinea »

Hello,

I have installed 2 ESXi host with a vCenter Appliance. And I want to make backups of the VMs, so I decide to get a free license from Veeam.

I installed the license and I have this:

I try to make a backup and it really works great. I want to know what will happens once the license expire, could I continue to make backups of my VM?

Thanks and regards.

Once the license expire, the only backup option you will have is VeeamZIP. Thanks.

And if you want to schedule VeeamZIP, take a look at this blog post. Thanks!

It may also be worth looking into Veeam Backup Essentials.

https://www.veeam.com/smb-vmware-hyper- ... tials.html

While not free, it's discounted heavily for small environments (up to 6 total CPU sockets which should be enough to cover your two ESXi hosts) and allows you to continue using much more functionality than simply VeeamZIP beyond your 30-day trial.

Thanks all!

With the free version, could we make incremental backups?

Thanks and regards.

Have a look at the comparison document.

Veeam Backup Free Edition does have a number of limitations, including:
- Full backups of individual VMs only—no scheduled, incremental or multi-VM backups
- No vPower® capabilities (however, you can import VeeamZIP™ backups into the paid editions and use vPower capabilities there)
- No VM replication
