User Testimonials
LiveVaultVeeam Agent for Microsoft Windows
Likelihood to Recommend
Our company was originally with VaultLogix which was taken over by LiveVault. The transition to the new product was not as smooth as expected and presented us with issues especially with a restore. Restore and what files needed to be included in the backup policy were not communicated to us correctly and it was not until a customer's server failed that we found out we couldn't do a restore because we were missing files that were needed for a complete restore.
I don't believe it works very well for backups of virtual servers. Installation of the product is user-friendly.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is an extremely versatile backup software so it can be used in a variety of different ways. We have it running on some user machines that require it as the user deals with sensitive data that cannot be lost and Windows based servers ranging from server 2012 to 2025.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is really straightforward to both deploy and use on a daily basis. the high level of successful restores we have experienced is testament to the quality of the file verification processes and encryption Veeam use within their software. Support is simply excellent should you need to engage them. there is nothing they haven't been able to solve either via phone or email.

Alternatives Considered
LiveVault is the only product we have used. The reason is that we chose it initially was the fact you can restore individual files. Also that the data is transferred offsite to a secure data center and data is backed up again, providing a second offsite copy.

I used Clonezilla several times, and while it's very rock solid since it's Linux-based and works very well, it's not for large deployments, and it's more of a one-time use. (You need to take an image before reinstalling something or such.) With Veeam, you can deploy it organization-wide.

Return on Investment
  • LiveVault has initially cost us more labor time than we anticipated for our IT staff.
  • Installing cloud backup has given us a piece of mind that our data and our customer's data is safe.

  • Allowed us to move from usind two different backup providers to Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows exclusively, improving our costs considerably
  • Verified backups - before there was no checks or verification on the backups
  • Much more cost effective cloud storage than the provider we moved from
