Coraid Inc., announced a “technology alliance” partnership with Veeam Software this week, including the news that Coraid’s Etherdrive SAN product is verified for use with Veeam’s Backup & Replication v6.

According to a statement from Coraid, the partnership allows customers of its SAN product to use Veeam for backing up and replicating data at an off-site location for disaster recovery, and operate an entire virtual machine from an image-level backup.

Veeam’s Backup & Replication v6 offers backup for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, includes built-on dedupe and compression and other abilities.
