Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We are worried about ransomware. While we do have a cloud backup, we knew that it would take over 3 days to restore the data via the internet and 1-3 days to get a physical drive from the cloud provider with the data on it. Veeam backup allows me to have a system not included in the domain that backs up the data locally. If we do get hit, I should be able to immediately have an onsite backup copy.
Pros
- Easy installation.
- Doesn't need to be part of the domain.
Cons
- Ability to restore partial backups.
- More intuitive backup and restore.
- Gives us the ability of a quick restore.
- Peace of mind.
- Code42 (formerly CrashPlan)
The Code42 product is easier to set-up and doesn't require onsite hardware. Restoring files is a bit more intuitive. However, access to the data is limited by my internet connection so the first backup and a full restore would take a LONG time. Having the Veeam product in house allows me to have a full backup very quickly.
