Columbus, Ohio, December 10, 2010 – Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection,

With the ability to run a virtual machine directly from a backup file, Veeam Backup & Replication v5
overcomes the limitations of traditional backup by providing:

1. Instant VM Recovery: Restore an entire virtual machine from a backup file in minutes. Users
remain productive while IT troubleshoots the issue.

2. U-AIR™ (Universal Application-Item Recovery): Recover individual items from any virtualized
application, on any operating system, without additional backups, agents or software tools.
Eliminates the need for expensive special-purpose tools and extends granular recovery to all
applications and users.

3. SureBackup™ Recovery Verification: Automatically verify the recoverability of every backup, of

every virtual machine, every time. Eliminates uncertainty and sets a new standard in data
protection.

4. On-Demand Sandbox: Create test VMs from any point in time to troubleshoot problems or test
workarounds, software patches or new application code. Eliminates the need for dedicated test
labs and the overhead that extra VMware snapshots place on VMs.

5. Instant File-Level Recovery for any OS or file system: Recover an entire VM or an individual file
from the same image-level backup. Extends instant file-level recovery to all VMs.

Not-for-resale (NFR) software license keys are available for non-production use at
