Veeam® Backup & Replication™ 10, part of Veeam Availability Suite™, delivers seriously powerful, modern data protection for NAS, ransomware prevention and advanced data portability. The following is a list of the major new features and enhancements added in v10.

Modernize and simplify the protection of file shares with the powerful new capability of Network Attached Storage (NAS) data protection and recovery. Delivering a storage-agnostic architecture to back up your unstructured data at scale, Veeam helps you to achieve your NAS recovery objectives without additional hardware investments. There’s no need to acquire and lock into expensive, specialized backup appliances, as Veeam enables you to use the backup storage you already have, and even offload backups to the cloud at no additional cost. And when it comes to recovery, Veeam ensures your recovery time objectives (RTO) are met by providing flexible restore options tailored to typical disaster scenarios including: entire share recoveries to address complete hardware loss or NAS migration scenarios, point-in-time share state rollback for recoveries from ransomware attack, and file-level recovery with global search for day-to-day operational restores.

The unique benefits of Veeam’s NAS backup engine include:

• Scalable architecture based on a proprietary distributed file system, designed and built from the ground up for protection of billions of files and PBs of unstructured data. The backup storage engine performance and capacity can be scaled seamlessly by leveraging additional compute and additional storage resources from scale-out backup repository extents based on commodity server hardware.
• Extensive data source support includes SMB file shares (any SMB protocol version), NFS file shares (NFS protocol versions 3.0 and 4.1), as well as files on Microsoft Windows or Linux based servers.
• Efficient forever-incremental backup engine that does not require periodic active full backups to be performed, as is the case with NDMP backups — making it possible to protect PB-size NAS environments with significantly reduced RPOs.
• Innovative storage-agnostic changed file tracking provides industryleading incremental backup performance, allowing to achieve low RPOs on NAS devices without native changed file tracking capabilities.
• Storage snapshots support enables protection of locked files, backup of atomic file share states, and allows to implement zero impact NAS protection by retrieving file data from storage snapshots replicated to secondary storage arrays.

With Veeam Backup & Replication™ v10, Veeam further extends its leadership in comprehensive data management by delivering powerful data protection across ALL your
cloud, virtual, and physical workloads with a simple, flexible and reliable solution. Protect your data no matter the location or workload type. The latest released is packed with over 150 enhancements, including:

• Modernize and simplify theprotection of data with seriously powerful NAS backup
• Recover faster than ever with our NEXT GENERATION Instant VM Recovery® engine
• Simplify off-site backup and get 100% bulletproof protection from ransomware and insider threat with immutable backups
• Put backups to work with greater platform extensibility with the NEW Veeam Data Integration API
• Broader platform and ecosystem support including new, advanced capabilities for Linux, Nutanix AHV, PostgreSQL, MySQL and more. Veeam Backup & Replication works even better when it’s combined with the powerful monitoring capabilities of Veeam ONE™ in Veeam Availability Suite v10 for the next generation of backup for what’s next, including data protection capabilities that increase availability, portability, and extensibility.
• Simple offsite backup with built-in ability to mirror primary NAS backup contents to other backup repositories with the same or different retention policy.
• Object storage integration for cost-effective, reliable archival of older file versions to Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, as well as numerous S3-compatible service providers and on-premises storage solutions.

And it goes without saying that NAS backup jobs also include all the standard Veeam features including flexible scoping, integration with Microsoft VSS for consistent backups, data encryption, pre- and post-job scripting for automation, and multiple notification options. Access to NAS backup requires the Veeam Universal License. When used alongside with a socket license, file version history archiving requires Enterprise Plus edition.
