Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to backup our servers and virtual machines. With VMWare, if you want to use replication, you have to buy 2 expensive licenses, one for each server in the replication cluster. With Veeam Backup & Replication you can use the free VMWare license, as long as you don't exceed the amount of machines allowed. For smb this will usually suffice.

Pros

  • replication, meaning keeping a VM synced with a copy on another server so that you can easily swap between them when one crashed
  • backup, that obviously includes differential and incremental
  • file based restore

Cons

  • I wish that the program would be able to troubleshoot errors on its own and fix them.
  • Maybe, prepare a cup of coffee :)

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • Firstly the is obviously the security, knowing that you can recover quickly when something goes wrong
  • The main ROI you get when you actually recover from a disaster, but even restoring files which were deleted by mistake is also a nice return
  • Don't wait till you have a disaster from which you can't recover before implementing backups. Don't make me say "I told you so" when it's to late
Veeam Backup & Replication will give you security that your data will remain accessible no matter what, as long as you set it up properly. Don't rely on a single backup locally, rather take an additional backup home with you, or store it in the cloud.If you're looking for a backup solution that plainly copies the data over to a second location then there is no need to use Veeam Backup & Replication. Just run a simple copy paste job with the task scheduler. Veeam Backup & Replication is for advanced backup and for streamlining the process.
