Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for our system backups for our Virtual Environment, as well as a few physical servers. We utilize both the backup and the replication feature, create immutable copies, and replicate both to a cloud environment as well as a 2nd datacenter. Veeam Backup & Replication allows for regular DR testing, and I've utilized the instant restore feature a couple of times on a corrupted VM - it worked perfectly. Highly recommend this for DR and a backup system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Very Quick CBT snapshot backups
Immutable storage backup and replication
VERY FAST restores for excellent Business continuity

Cons

Better help documentation within the program - you need to be an expert BEFORE a disaster strikes.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're running a virtual environment, you NEED Veeam Backup & Replication. It's the gold standard. Their agent for physical servers works pretty well as well. You can set your snapshots for backup and replication as tight as your servers can handle (usually 5-15 minutes) and can even do advanced snapshotting for exchange and SQL, provided that you have the IOPS.
