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.

Pros

  • Rotating USB Hard Drive Backups
  • Backups to network storage
  • Ease of recovery
  • Snapshots in Hyper-V for instant recovery
  • Replication of VMs between physical servers

  • Being able to minimise downtime during disaster recovery situations is a big benefit.
I think with the product offering from Veeam Data Platform. they have a very solid platform for backing up all sorts of workloads. they have products for backup of local data to remote cloud servers, local servers, local storage & network storage. They also have products for the other direction, for backing up data stored on remote cloud services down to local storage. Just because it is in the cloud doesn't mean you shouldn't back it up locally.
