Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

After attempting to use another backup solution from a SaaS provider and partner, we decided that we needed to explore an option that allowed our team to manage backups, restorations, and data storage ourselves. As a financial institution, we are tasked by our board of directors to self-host as much of our data infrastructure as possible, and the idea of having our data stored in the "cloud" was not appealing to them. We worked with one of our partners to evaluate and deploy Veeam, and we could not be happier with the outcome. We are able to control our backups and data storage, and maintain control of the backup locations. We have implemented immutable storage with another of our partners and would highly recommend Veeam, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux coupled with immutable storage as a long-term solution for storing essential data and ensuring that it is not compromised by a malicious actor attempting to compromise your stored information with ransomware. Installation and deployment was well documented and streamlined, and we are up and running with minimal management and engineering oversight. An excellent product and team, and we could not be happier with the final outcome.

Pros

  • Unattended backups and replication
  • Leveraging snapshots for rapid recovery
  • Working with immutable storage solutions to prevent ransomware.

Cons

  • Backing up over the internet to on-prem servers.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication for our individual workstation and laptop backups and replication. We have also found it to be a valuable tool in restoring servers following incomplete updates or upgrades. The ability to work with multiple virtualization platforms, like Nutanix and Hyper-V gives us the flexibility to deploy to our entire private cloud.
