    If you are looking for a backup infrastructure which is efficient and compatible for both file system and block level backup, then HPE StoreOnce is a great choice. It's easy to configure and easy to manage. We didn't have to hire a separate storage expert to set up StoreOnce for us. The HPE team helped our system admins and it was a easy to configure.

    We use it as a Simple Deployment. As a simple deployment scenario, the roles of the backup server, VMware backup proxy, and backup repository are assigned to a single machine. These roles are assigned automatically to the machine where we installed Veeam Backup & Replication. The drawback of the simple deployment scenario is that only the backup server handles and stores all data which is a single point of failure.

    • It's easy to manage files on HPE StoreOnce servers using command line options.
    • We use Veeam Backup Server software to manage our backups on HPE StoreOnce.

    • Stop the backup job from the console instead of having to stop from the client.
    • Don't consume too many resources while taking a backup.

    Usability
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    My team who are currently administering HPE StoreOnce do not come from a storage background. We still didn't had to struggle much configuring and using HPE StoreOnce. Of course, HPE team was very helpful in smooth technology transition. For critical errors, we already have phone home feature enabled and HPE support team has been excellent and their response time in dealing with technical errors/incidents.

    Overall, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a great backup solution and supplies extremely useful tools to configure backups to suite our needs and our clients requirements. I have only taken some points off as the user interface could be easier to navigate when configuring backups and the ability to update Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows from within the software would be appreciated.

    Some of our staff have worked with Baracuda, so it was a recommended product. But after our evaluation, we decided to use StoreOnce because of the types of backup, ease of administration, and cost savings.

    Veeam is just on another level compared to most other software vendors who tend to make backup solutions complicated. Veeam uses intuitive GUI's that make sense to most people and take the stress out of systems recovery at high and low levels by simply explaining the process step by step.

    Return on Investment
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    • While not completely eliminating tape, it has relegated the use of tape to monthly and annual backups for compliance. It has reduced the recurring expense of tape media.
    • It has increased the length of the retention period because of its efficiency in storing backups.
    • The online backup repositories are now replicated to the secondary datacenter, a capability not possible with tapes.
