Update 3 for Veeam Backup & Replication v8 is now available and brings some improvements to the product.

Most important is the support for Windows 10 (as guest VM and supported operating system for installing Veeam Backup & Replication) and the support for vSphere 6.0 Update 1 (this resolves the SSL issue).

New Features and Enhancements

• Support for Windows 10 as guest virtual machines (VMs), including application-aware processing.
• Support for installation of Veeam Backup & Replication and all of its components on Windows 10.

VMware

• Added ability to convert “VMware Tools not found” job warning to informational event. To enable this behavior, set DisableVMwareToolsNotFoundWarning (REG_DWORD) registry value to 1.

• Preferred network settings will now also apply to transaction log backup jobs.
• Support for SQL Servers using non-standard port number.

• Support for UPN credentials.

SureBackup
