File Copy

In this article

You can copy files and folders between and within servers connected to the backup server. For example, you can copy files from ESX(i) hosts to Microsoft Windows servers, Microsoft Windows servers to ESX(i) hosts, or directly from ESX(i) to ESX(i). File copying is the simplest and fastest way to move VMs and templates between datastores or deliver ISO files to ESX(i) hosts.

For file copying operations, Veeam Backup & Replication offers a Windows Explorer-like user interface familiar to a Microsoft Windows user. You can copy files manually or schedule file copy jobs to run automatically by the defined schedule.
