Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

As a started my career as an engineer in 2009, we started using Veeeam Backup version 3! Today, in 2021, we are still using Veeam Backup as our one-and-only backup solution. We have already virtualized our complete backend in 2009. Meanwhile, our backend (>750 Virtual Servers) is protected by a daily backup using the latest version of Veeam Backup and Replication. We are using Dell-EMC Datadomain as a backup target. DDBoost makes it possible to create a 'full' backup every day.

Pros

  • Veeam Backup was originally created for backing up the virtual environment. This makes Veeam Backup unique compared to other backup competitors.
  • Instant Restore is really cool feature that allows you to instantly run a virtual machine from your backup. Restoring the server comes second. Firstly you want to bring the virtual machine back into production.
  • The last 10 years they kept developing their product. Their focus is and was build on virtual environments.
  • As we are using Veeam since 2009 we have nailed our ROI. We have upgraded our licenses during the years to Enterprise Plus. Upgrading and receiving more functionality of course cost us some money. However, Veeam is worth the price!
Nowadays Veeam is also capable of creating a backup of physical machines. However, most features are still built on and for virtual environments. If your IT-infrastructure is virtualized for the better part, then Veeam is the way to go. Integration between Veeam and VMware is great. I never figured out why VMware didn't acquire Veeam.
