Cade said there was no distance limit between for CDP synchronisation between source and target systems. Veeam’s CDP does not need VM execution to be paused. These depend upon a virtual machine being temporarily paused (stunned) while the snapshot takes place. Veeam said this added feature is intended for top tier VMware workloads needing the best possible, near-zero, Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if a server or other failure strikes.Ĭade said: “We are not leveraging the VMware snapshots we’re using the VAIO filter which splits the IO at the same point so that we’re not having to wait for VMware’s snapshots.” The idea behind CDP is that any change to the protected data triggers a data copy so that no data is lost should the primary version be lost. Included in the Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam B&R combines storage snapshots, backup, replication and CDP to support physical and virtual server and public cloud workloads. Michael Cade, Veeam’s Senior Global Technologist, told Blocks & Files: “This is the biggest release that we’ve ever had.” But the key enhancements in V11 are: continuous data protection (CDP) fortifying primary backups against ransomware extending instant recovery to databases and filers and archiving to the cloud.

They all help to extend protection coverage and make recovery faster.


Veeam has made more than 200 updates with the latest release of Backup and Replication (B&R) software.
