Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Backup and recovery for daily, weekly, and monthly
standard backups as well as for our ransomware / air gap server back
ups. We snapshot servers before updating them in case of corruption or if the update fails. The snapshots have bailed us out of many a tight spot.We use replication for migrating servers from blade to blade and for the fail over and fail back.

Pros

  • Snapshots are very helpful
  • Server Replication
  • Easy file back up and restoration
  • ransomware recovery

Cons

  • It isn't cheap, but when you are good, you do not have to be.
  • Some of the setup was pretty time consuming
  • Some features can be slow. Restorations and roll-backs
  • Back up and restore on the fly is very helpful makes us more flexible
  • Snapshots save us a lot of time as well as anxiety. We use snapshots a lot.

If you are a small company with very limited funds and manpower, you may be able to get away with other products or put the funds towards more hardware, but if youa re a company who wants to invest in fewer salaries and letting technology take over, this is your product. The backup and restoration and snapshots can save you a lot of headaches.
