Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Backup & Replication is in use at the 3 schools I support to backup the Hyper-V servers on a rolling basis. The ability to specify multiple backup targets, both local rotating USB hard drives and to a network attached storage device (NAS) gives us a sense of trust and reliability in the backup process. Having daily emails notifying of backup success/failure keeps me on top of everything even when i'm not on-site. I have had to use the recovery process several times after a failed Windows Update (print nightmare anyone?) or when there is an accidentally deleted employee/student files. The recovery process is very pain free and easy to use whether you are recoving a single file or an entire Virtual Machine. I have no bad things to say about the product, it's rock solid and the community edition is a free offering. If I was in a large enterprise with many servers, I would rollout the same backup solution without a second thought.
