Agenti

Windows, Linux, Mac, AIX and Solaris: even the iron outside the hypervisors inside the same protection and the same console.

01 · What it is

Agenti fisici, made clear.

Not everything is virtual: the database on bare metal, the workstations, the laptops on the move, and the UNIX systems (AIX, Solaris) holding up half the enterprise world. The Veeam agents bring them into the same platform: centralized policies, bare-metal recovery, and for us — who live off AIX and Power — a natural piece.

BMR
bare-metal recovery: the server is reborn on new iron (or in a VM)
AIX/Solaris
the enterprise UNIX protected too: rare among vendors, crucial for us
Policy
the agents governed from the console: not a hundred artisanal backups

02 · How to use it well

The things that make the difference.

The coverage

The non-virtualized estatephysical, endpoints, UNIX
Windows
Linux
AIX & Solaris
the agents for every OS
Protection groups & policiesthe centralized management
The same repositoriesimmutability included
One platform, zero excluded

An honest census

The forgotten physicals (there's always the one under the desk): the complete perimeter before the policies.

Tested BMR

The restore on different iron tested: the day of the failure isn't the day of rehearsals.

Endpoints with judgment

Local cache and backup on returning to the network: the laptop protected without strangling the VPN.

AIX in the plan

The Power/UNIX systems inside the same strategy: our double competence at work.

03 · In depth

Physical and workstations: the complete coverage

The Veeam Agents (Windows, Linux, Mac, AIX, Solaris) protect what isn't virtual: physical servers, workstations and cloud VMs seen from inside; the backup is image-based (bare metal recovery onto different hardware) or volume/file-based, the CBT speeds up the incrementals, physical failover clusters and SQL/Exchange are supported, the management is centralized from VBR (protection groups from AD: the new server protects itself); the Recovery Media reboots the dead iron.

  • Bare metal recovery — the complete image onto even different hardware: the server resurrected
  • Protection group AD — the OU protected: the new physical enters the backup by itself
  • CBT — the fast incrementals on the physical too
  • Cluster-aware — failover clusters and AlwaysOn: the enterprise physical covered
  • Multi-OS — Windows, Linux, Mac, AIX, Solaris: the legacy included
  • Recovery Media — the USB stick that brings back to life: the single-server disaster solved

05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

Bare-metal servers

Databases and applications on the iron, protected.

Endpoint fleets

The people's data, not just the servers'.

Enterprise UNIX

AIX and Solaris in the common platform.

Ransomware doesn't ask whether the server is virtual: we protect the whole estate — AIX included.
