Instant VM Recovery lets an administrator run a VMware VM directly from a Veeam backup repository while full recovery is completed in the background. It is designed to reduce downtime when a production VM fails.
Does Veeam only back up VMware now?
No, the broader Veeam platform supports more than VMware, including Microsoft Hyper-V and cloud workloads depending on licensing and product version. This catalog item is specifically about Veeam's long-standing strength in VMware vSphere protection.
Why do VMware admins use SureBackup with Veeam?
SureBackup can automatically boot backed-up VMs in an isolated environment and run checks to verify recovery. That is useful because a backup file is not enough if the VM cannot actually start and pass basic tests.
