Perfect immutable backup solution for a small school

I needed something to replace the Server Backup
program which comes with Windows Server. The native Microsoft Tool works,
but is basic and does not provide alerts if a
backup job fails or succeeds. I also experienced other issues to do with the
software such as fairly common errors with VSS Writers which would cause backup
jobs to fail. It was frustrating having to manually check the backup system twice a day to ensure it was actually
working. Cue Veeam. After a fair bit of research, Veeam was the
company which came up the most often as being recommended and in use. Even
better than other platforms such as AOMEI, Macrium, Acronis etc there was a community version with a lot
of features and although it is limited to 10 workloads - it is full product and
not a time trial. I found that there was a lot of supporting information
and tutorials on the internet. I first installed it
as a VM to test it's functionality and I am very happy to say it didn't
disappoint. It is very quick, includes encryption and alerts me whether backup
jobs are successful or whether they fail - it isn't often they fail. I have
recently moved from the test VM to a physical device for the Veeam backup
server and implemented it. This particular backup is used to save encrypted
data onto a removeable device, which is my immutable backup. 10 stars!
