Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our Server Environment across the entire company. This allows us to have a copy of our environment in case of any major failures, we also are able to process file-level restores for users who delete or otherwise need a file from a previous point in time. Day to day, file-level restores are how we are utilizing the software the most and hope to not need to process a larger failback.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Browser Based Dashboard.
Storage Agnostic.
Multi-Site Replication.

Cons

Limited setup assistance if you did not purchase it.
Retention Policies are Confusing.

Return on Investment

Replaced another software which was failing to perform.
Saves time and there for money when people lose a file.
Have not used in a disaster recovery scenario yet.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are using Veeam Backup & Replication to backup local servers to local storage. I think it does a great job at this and has a ton of flexibility on where you are [storing] your data as well. The ability to connect to any storage container (even USB thumb drives) is huge and I imagine we will take advantage of the multitude of cloud options someday as well. Configuration does take time to perfect but is not [too mind-numbing].
