Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We utilize Veeam to create nightly backups of all of our server infrastructure as part of our layered approach to backing up our data. First we utilize a different product to create real time replication between our datacenters. Then we utilize Veeam to create nighttime full/incremental backups and copy them down to a local storage device in an immutable state. From there Veeam allows us to replicate those backups up to another storage device in the office where the IT staff are based out of so we can copy those files to offline disks. We then rotate those offline disks in order to airgap them and store them in safes offsite. Veeam is an essential component in our data backup strategy because it allows us to create immutable backups locally and then airgap our offline backups so that no matter what type of incident happens we have a way to fully recover our data and server infrastructure and getting running again as quickly as possible.
