Veeam Endpoint Backup is out of Beta and available
-
Just thought I'd share this.
I'd looked at downloading it two days ago but wasn't really interested in a Beta then, today I saw that @Rick-Vanover had tweeted about the release

Been waiting for this. Installing now.

Nice. Might have to look to this for my laptop. I use Unitrends for my server and it kinda works on end devices but, the problem is the schedule is run from the server and the client may not be online. It would be nice to use something that just backups up when it/detects it's on the network.
-
Problem, update 2 is not available...
Yes, I could hit the NAS directly, but that is not the point.
-
Awesome, great news!

@JaredBusch Hey Jared - the Update 2 is due out later this month... You'll see it on Twitter and http://www.veeam.com/patches.html first there, or the Veeam Forums.

Great, but not so useful to me when I want to setup my endpoints now.
Yeah, I could point to the SMB share, but then I get to reconfigure in a month? bleh.

NFS would be great too, in addition to SMB/CIFS.

This is great. Will have to check it out very soon.
-
Might give it a go at home, finally make a backup of my OS

Well, one would assume that if you connect via the Veeam repository that the connection type does not matter.
Also, I did not notice a download for anything other than Windows, so less reason to use NFS.

It's definitely not huge. It is just if you have an NFS repo rather than a CIFS one. Often this is the case for me. Would be handy, but anything but a killer feature.

Finally got back around to this.
Updated all my clients that use Veeam to the current version over the last couple days.
Today I setup the first endpoints using the current EndpointBackup.1.1.1.212
It works great for making backups using the the existing Veeam repositories. The plus side to using the Repository is that I get to see it in the VBR panel and status email from existing setup just like if a main backup fails.
Note: Rebooted the user's machine and initiated a backup again. running perfectly.
