Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our Virtual Server infrastructure on-premises and also use it to back up to the cloud for disaster recovery. We need the ability to be able to restore both files and also application items like SQL databases. We have up to 3 copies of every server in different locations and Veeam Backup & Replication gives us the option to do this easily. We are currently using the cloud backup as strictly a DR option as we have so many failovers on-premesis.
Pros
- Instant recovery option
- Quickly add and remove VMs
- Connects to failover infrastructure
Cons
- It doesn't handle running more than 4 tasks at once
- It is a slow application to use and log into
- When removing a portable hard drive used for a restore the terminology is a bit confusing
- It gives us the security that we can have business continuity if something fails
- It is hard to quantify the ROI but I am sure it is reasonable
We use Datto to backup our Microsoft 365 data for about 6 months but they proved to be not suitable for us. We have since switched to KeepIt Cloud Backup and have no complaints about its operation. We have had to do several restaores and it was very simple to perform
