Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Data Platform in many situations, but it is the primary backup platform for all systems in the Asia region. We have also used Veeam Data Platform to migrate VMs over a high latency, low bandwidth WAN circuit. It is been excellent for us in both scenarios. I highly recommend the platform for backing up VMware workloads on premise and in the cloud.

Pros

  • Backup multiple platforms.
  • Allow for backup to multiple types of targets.
  • Replicate virtual machines from one location to another or into the cloud.

Cons

  • It should recommend the most secure method of backup methods to ensure immutability.
  • It should maximize SnapMirror technology when using a NetApp as a backup target to replicate backups to CVO targets.
  • It should provide a centralized dashboard for backing up all PaaS services in Azure.
  • Positive as we did not require expensive backup devices
  • Positive as we were able to replicate to Azure
  • Positive as we were able to manage the environment remotely.

Veeam Data Platform is best suited in smaller VMware environments with a handful of VMs. It is easy to setup and manage once in place and can do an excellent job of replicating VMs over low bandwidth, high latency WAN circuits. It is also excellent in replicating backups into the cloud. It can become more difficult in large data centers due to the number of proxies.
