Key Features and Licensing
The MP for Veeam Backup & Replication has two key feature sets, which are licensed differently:
- Monitoring: real-time alerts in the Ops Mgr console on the status of Veeam Backup & Replication jobs, and the health, performance and availability of the Veeam backup infrastructure — services, repositories, proxies, and WAN accelerators.
Veeam MP 8.0 introduces new monitoring features for Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure that allow you to track: job RPO compliance, failover transfer of VM disks, status of job transport mode, and versions of deployed backup infrastructure components. For more information, see Appendix A.
- Reporting: a set of sophisticated reports in the Ops Mgr data warehouse analyzing which virtual machines are protected by backups and replicas, tracking performance of backup proxies and repositories, using trending to forecast repository free space, viewing the history of restore operator activity, assessing VM configuration before backup and much more.
Veeam MP 8.0 introduces new reports for Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure: Job Configuration Change Tracking, Backup Infrastructure Assessment, VM Backup Status and Delegated Restore Permissions Overview. These reports help you track job modification changes, analyze configuration of your backup environment, review daily backup status for all protected VMs, and obtain a list of restore permissions configured in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. For more information, see section Reporting.
The real-time monitoring features of the MP for Veeam Backup & Replication are free-of-charge and will operate standalone.
