Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

It’s our main backup tool for all our servers we’re hosting within four data center. Additionally we started to us it for M365 data backups. My main responsibility is the usage of transactional-consistent backups for our main databases SAP HANA (Backint interface) and Oracle (RMAN interface). For both of these we’re using the Veeam plugin.

Pros

  • Performance

Cons

  • Stability
  • High-Availability
  • Maintenance without downtime
  • Linux instead of Windows for the VBR

Backups are failing far too often including the maintenance of the Veeam is not possible without downtime, which is not acceptable for such a main backup environment.
