Veeam Backup 3.0: faster backup than with VCB?
Today Veeam Backup 3.0 was released and the big eye-catcher of this backup and recovery tool is that it is the first tool ever that supports ESXi without the use of VCB:
Veeam Backup 3.0 now supports ESXi backup without VCB. Veeam Backup is the only VMware backup solution that lets you backup and restore virtual machines running on all existing editions of ESXi, including ESXi free.

Register for free Veeam tool!
If you work for NASA and just returned from your trip to the moon (I don’t know how else you could have missed this news, Veeam marketing is doing a great job!), you definitely want to register for the free tool for VMware admins that Veeam is giving away on December 22nd. (If you actually work for NASA, you probably don’t need this tool).
I just read on Jason Boche’s blog he was able to take a look under Rich Brambley’s Chrismas tree and unwrapped the present Veeam left behind a little more. If the tool is as good as the marketing team, this is really a must have! Go register now!
