Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Veeam to backup our important VM's both on site and off site to VTDs. It gives me that peace of mind knowing that I could spin my environment up on new hardware quickly in the event of a disaster.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easily backup and restore VM's.
Schedule recurring backups with retention policies.
Integration with AWS and VTD support.

Cons

Auto Ejecting VTD's sometimes gets stuck and requires a manual kick.
Web UI feature on backup & replication.
Better remote monitoring.

Return on Investment

It's been a good experience except for the occasional VTD ejecting issue.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam is my go to for VM backups. It gives me the peace of mind knowing that my on site and off site backups are completing nightly, along with email notifications. This may be the most rudimentary implementation of Veeam, but it does it well and I will continue using the product.
