This is a great addition as we can benefit from enterprise technologies even using the Free version. What is interesting to mention at this point is that even the FREE Edition can benefit from a large number of Enterprise features. There are lots of features that each edition supports which have been tailored to the most common deployments. At the time of writing there is a Limited Time Offer up to 6 months subscription for an unlimited number of installations over physical and virtual machines. For the Windows Agent it is possible to compare the different editions here whereas for the Linux one more info can be found here. Both Agents are available with 3 editions: Free, Workstation and Server. These Agents can be deployed on both physical and virtual machines which means we are also able to protect Virtual Machines running in a Public Cloud of our choice (for example AWS and Azure). Veeam has recently released an updated version of the Veeam Agents to protect both Windows and Linux workloads.

It is at this point where the conversation is getting the right traction. I’m then relieved to learn and proceed the conversation with another question: Do you have a Restore strategy? One of the questions I usually ask to customers, including the risk of almost sounding rhetorical these days is “Do you have a Backup strategy?” In the majority of the cases the answers are positive and close to the same level of the question. How do we provide data protection and availability for physical Windows and Linux workloads? Let’s talk about Veeam Agents!
