Great for older on-premise Active Directory backups

We currently use Veeam Backup & Replication within our IT Department to backup critical components within our IAM infrastructure, specifically the Active Directory Domain Controllers and related systems. We were previously using the built-in Windows backup for our needs, however, this did not offer much in terms of flexibility, speed, reliability, and practicality. Due to residing on older hardware, backups would fail often and on occasion would become corrupted. After switching to Veeam, we gained much-needed confidence in our backup process and disaster recovery plan as a whole, due to the built-in specialty support for virtual DCs and dedicated recovery tools such as object-level restorations. Overall, the product has proven beneficial in mitigating the risk associated with catastrophic failures from an older infrastructure and has allowed us to defer costly upgrades for the time being.
