Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Over two years ago, we started to use Veeam Backup & Replication for backing up a few virtual VMware servers that were so critical that we wanted to have a second backup besides the Tivoli Storage Manager. After a while, we started to like using Veeam Backup & Replication much better than TSM, and once we bought more storage, we added more and more servers to Veeam Backup & Replication, and the TSM footprint started to shrink. Today we use Veeam Backup & Replication across our organization, for about 90% of our servers and Tivoli is only being used for just a few odd ones.
Pros
- It is very easy to install.
- It is very easy to use.
Cons
- Can you make it more affordable?
- Some of the errors are non-descriptive.
- We were able to start with just the infrastructure and hardware we had on hand and grow from it.
- Flexible pricing, to begin with.
Tivoli Storage Manager performs OK for file-level backups but, try to do a bare-metal restore, and you are sure to run into some issues with it. The GUI console is excellent for a Windows guy, but to achieve its full potential, you need to be a command-line guru
