Thanks very much to the team at Veeam for a great release in R2.

Has solved all of our outstanding issues around Server 2012 R2 etc.

Also very impressed with how quickly support for vSphere 5.5 has been released.

What a great product!

Cheers,
Gavin

Hi, thanks for sharing. Glad to hear the new release is working well for you!
I have talked to our support today, and they are very happy with the update too!

Thank you Veeam, every time a sale person calls from another backup solution provider and they list all the backup, disaster recovery and replication issues their new product solves, I can just say that Veeam solved those issues for me already plus a bunch more, bye. I had one today who was hard to hang up on who start to tell me how easy it “would” be to restore an Exchange mail box item, when I said Veeam already lets me do that in under 5 minutes, then they hung up. I just feel bad for people who haven’t found Veeam.

Thanks Veeam!

BTW, there is one thing that I found strange in the two reports: Veeam 6.5 reported 1,4 TB transferred, Veeam 7.0 R2 reported 3,5 TB

Transferred is known bug in R2 statistics. As you can see, backup file size is still about the same, give or take newly added VMs size.
