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.
