Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Backup and Recovery mainly for server-level and file-level data protection. Being able to simply mount a backup image in order to recover a file or validate that operating system level backups are working as intended is monumentally important and gives us back valuable time that lesser backup solutions cannot. Veeam also makes it insanely easy to keep copies of backup data offsite at our other locations and the in the cloud with integrated, automated jobs that do all the work for us. I also love the fact that we can backup on one platform and restore to another (like HyperV to VMWare). We plan on using that feature in the future for a migration. Veeam support is top notch as well. Any support tickets I have get addressed by support techs that know the product inside and out.

Pros

  • Immutable backups to protect against ransomware
  • Easily integrate jobs that create copies of your data offsite or in the cloud
  • Explore backed up files from the image
  • Test OS level backups straight from the backup image

Cons

  • I honestly can't think of anything

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • Veeam has given us back time because it is so easy to manage
  • Veeam has given us peace of mind on immutable and offsite backups
  • Veeam has made it easy to pass audits
Veeam is great for proving to auditors that your backup are trust-worthy. When you can start up a virtual server from the backup file running in memory in under 10 minutes, it is pretty darn impressive. We have also used it to take a full take a backup of a production virtual server while it was running in under 5 minutes, so we could restore it (off-network) for testing against production.
