Today Anton Gostev has published a great news for all Endpoint lovers. Is available the Release Candidate with these features:
- Backup directly into Veeam backup repositories
- Full support for Bitlocker drive encryption on backup and restore
- Ability to control power state of the computer after daily backup
- “When backup target is connected” event (former “On storage attach” event) now supports both USB drives and remote storage (triggers when you connect to a network from which your remote backup target is reachable)
- Metered connections are now detected and will not be used to perform backup to remote targets
- More smart way of handling retries (both in scheduler and UI).
- Customizable backup destination folder
- Support for rotated USB drives
- Backup is automatically prevented from starting when a device is running off battery and battery level is less than 20%
- Slightly improved backup performance (local data movers “talk” over shared memory, as opposed to network sockets)

- New shiny setup!

- Traffic throttling settings from Global Network Traffic Rules now apply to Veeam Endpoint Backup jobs as well
- Support for endpoint backups in Backup Copy and Backup to Tape jobs
