Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We utilize Veeam Backup & Replication at our data center to take nightly backups of our servers without significant impact on the performance of the environment. We are able to take backups at our primary data center. We also securely send a copy to our DR site should we need to spin that up. All of this while being able to encrypt the backups. I also use the Veeam community edition to backup my personal devices with the same confidence and similar interface I am used to in our enterprise. Veeam Backup & Replication allows us to easily back up multiple TBs of data in less than our allowable window. With the built-in snapshotting feature, we don't have to be concerned with referencial integrity.

Pros

  • GFS implementation
  • Reporting
  • Encryption
  • Speed
  • Referential integrity through snapshotting VMs
  • Meet RTO
  • Meet RPO

Cons

  • Reliability
  • Ease of file level restore
  • File level restore to alternate location
  • Realtime backup

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • We easily meet our backup window with time to spare, even with full encryption and over WAN.
  • We are unable to meet our RTO due to the time Veeam Backup & Replication takes to restore our environment.
Virtualized private cloud deployment. Where uptime and speed are critical to applications' success. Work from home laptop and desktops. We are able to achieve our RPO of 24hrs max and RTO of 8 hrs to a secondary site. We are adding another solution for real-time replication of our data to a tertiary site. This will give us a lower RPO while leveraging off Veeam Backup & Replication for an immutable copy to protect with data recovery of data loss that otherwise would be replicated.
