Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for backing up various servers throughout the company. We currently backup over 15 servers on a continuous schedule multiple times per day. It handles Domain Controllers, File Servers, and numerous application severs. Most are virtual machines but some are also bare-metal. Different servers run on different schedules and number of snapshots is managed by the software to prevent the server from getting too full to work.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam backup and Replication is a must have for any computer or server that you need to have copies of. The way it automaticallydeletes excess backups to save disk space is invaluable. It really is "set it and forget it" until you need to restore files or images.Veeam Backup and Replication probably isn't needed for saving a few files or choice folders. It can also be a resource hog so end users need to be mindful when installing it on an environment.
