Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used for saving the data from the whole family and our company. We make backups from our onedrive accounts, as well as from the local NAS. We put the backups to a DLT-tapedrive and to a second NAS. Up to now there were no problems. It took a while configuring it the first time, but now it will replace the former backup solution from another company.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Works without hassle.
Clear and easy user interface when you have got it.

Cons

More intuitive first time installation.
Backup to ftp server.

Return on Investment

Works a lot better as expected.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for backing up data to tape, but lacks a tape use strategy like "towers of hanoi" or similar. Restore of files is not as intuitive as it could be at the first sight. You have to use it frequently to get used to the user interface. It is not really simple to give it to a normal user.
