Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager exposes its objects via the Web Service API based on the REST (Representational State Transfer) framework. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API lets developers communicate with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager to query information about Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager objects and perform basic operations with them using HTTP and HTTPS protocols and the principles of REST.

Since the HTTP protocol is very popular and widespread, REST API is platform-agnostic and can be used with practically any programming language. This document will help you get familiar with the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. The document includes the following sections:

• Concepts and Principles highlights key features of REST API as applicable to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
• Getting Started describes Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API specifications, provides a generalized RESTful workflow to help you quickly start with Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API and an example of Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API use. 
• Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API Reference provides a complete reference for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API resources and operations you can perform with them. 
• Sample Scenarios offers a set of examples of use for Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API. 

This vCO package created by Dan Linsley aims to include workflows to Create/Remove/Update/Delete vCAC custom properties on more than just VirtualMachine objects. It is dependent on the vCAC IaaS Plugin for vCO. So far it has workflows for manipulating properties on Build Profiles, Management Endpoints, Property Sets, Property Dictionary Definitions/Attributes and Business Group (vCAC 6.x) / Provisioning Group (vCAC 5.x).

Updated Added Workflows:

• Build Profiles\Delete Many Build Profiles
• Business Groups\Copy Business Group Properties
• Property Dictionary\Copy Property Definition
• Endpoints\Copy Endpoint Properties
• Endpoints\Create / Update Property on Endpoint
• Endpoints\Delete Property from Endpoint
• Endpoints\Export Endpoint Properties as Property Set XML
• Endpoints\Import Endpoint Properties From Property Set XML
• Added description output to workflows:
• Build Profiles\Get Build Profile Entity
• Build Profiles\Export Build Profile as Property Set XML
• Added attributeNames and controlTypeName outputs to workflow:
• Property Dictionary\Get Property Definition Entity

Complete a guided tour of Horizon 6 with View and its new features. Walk through the simple installation and configuration and learn the new features including Application Remoting and Cloud Pod Architecture.

This free Horizon 6 with View lab is designed to demonstrate the new Horizon 6 features VMware is focusing on starting with the ease of installation and configuration, RDS Hosted Application setup and configuration - including RDS Hosted Desktops, and Cloud Pod Architecture configurations including a basic understanding and some configuration scenarios.

Moving forward this lab will be the base lab for VMworld including other modules such as Virtual SAN integration, troubleshooting, and much more!

Data Protection is an optional data backup and recovery feature for VMware vCloud Hybrid Service that enables self-service, policy-based protection of business-critical data by backing up vApps and their associated virtual machines within Dedicated or Virtual Private Cloud service types.

Compared to traditional file-based backup and recovery solutions, image-level backups are used in Data Protection to ensure all operating system, file system and application data encapsulated within a virtual machine are captured as a snapshot image before being committed to backup media.
