To celebrate over 30,000 downloads for its free GUI management solution for VMware ESX, FastSCP, Veeam is releasing a new version today.

This update brings in some interesting features:

Disk space pre-allocation for vmdk files - when copying virtual machines, FastSCP will preallocate space for vmdk files to prevent fragmentation.

Ability to edit file attributes - FastSCP shows the properties for a file or folder, allowing users to set owner, group and permissions (the most common CHMOD commands) in a Windows GUI.

Scheduled copying - set file copies to occur at regular intervals or during off-peak hours.

Support for Linux systems - now users can manage all files in mixed Windows/Linux enterprises.
