Pros
- Reliable and easy-to-use core backup and recovery functions.
- Comprehensive application-centric recovery and instant recovery.
- Robust immutable storage for ransomware protection.
Cons
- Deficiencies in reporting and logging capabilities, especially for compliance.
- Complexity of initial setup, installation, and overall learning curve.
- Concerns regarding licensing costs and year-over-year price increases.
Veeam works well and is a value for our company.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Veeam to back up VMware and stand-alone clients. We need to have our business-critical devices back online within an hour (RTO) and to have no more than 15 minutes of our past processes lost (RPO). Veeam also allows us to test code by restoring production servers into a test environment and to apply changes without risking our production servers. This is invaluable for accurate and timely fixes and improvements.
Pros
- The ease of use in creating jobs and adding clients enables our new and less skilled administrators to work efficiently, quickly, and accurately.
- The same ease of use is essential for junior admins as well. Backups are quickly and accurately restored, allowing our networking team to bring clients back to production within expected times.
- The ability to create a restore for testing and to remove it quickly has proven to be an excellent asset for our production and DB teams.
Cons
- They could simplify the On-demand Sandbox capabilities. The current setup seems overly complicated and is not very performant.
- I would like to see more documentation on how to use Veeam with Proxmox, as that is the platform we are moving to.
- I would like the ability to see more detail in the failure logs, as the reports from the Veeam Backup and Restore client aren't very helpful. Some way to easily access the log in a parsed format would help with the (few) difficulties we've had.
Return on Investment
- A day's outage can cost us over $100,000 in our production facility. Our ability to bring devices online quickly can save us tens of thousands of dollars.
- I cannot quantify the losses we'd incur if we were to lose our ability to ship our product. Still, our reputation would undoubtedly take a hit these days of immediate ratings and commenting.
