Veeam Backup Free Edition license

[alejandrozuleta]

Hello,

I am not clear with Veeam Backup Free Edition license, I want to mange my organization VMs backups.

Can I use Veeam Backup Free Edition in production or is it only for training purposes?

Thanks for considering my question.

Hello Alejandro,

If you want full management capabilities in Veeam B&R product, then you should use any paid edition. Please check out this comparison matrix for all Veeam B&R editions > http://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-ba ... comparison

Thank you!

I 've checked out the matrix. Maybe we buy B&R once the budget to this is available. By the moment my question is related to the use of the free edition on a business small IT department. Is it covered by the free license?

Yes, you can use it in production.

Moreover, if you want to have scheduled backups with Free Edition, take a look at the blog post I've previously created. Thanks.

Oh I guessed free edition did not provide this functionality any way, now I see it is possible via PS cmdlet, I'll check it in deep thanks for your replies.

The Free Edition itself doesn't have schedule, indeed. However, with the release of our latest update we've made some commandlets responsible for starting VeeamZIP available in free edition. So, now using combination of PowerShell and ordinary Windows Task Scheduler you can achieve what you're after. Thanks.
