Veeam Data Platform is an essential part of our data protection strategy
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform essentials for daily and airgap backups of mission critical data to airgap and scale out file repositories.
The platform is solid to the point of being able to do an annual disaster recovery test rebuild from total disaster loss to getting back online from only a single airgap backup of all physical and virtual machines.

Pros
- Backups/restores of on-prem physical, virual machines, and cloud
- Data conversion between server platforms, particularly esxi ->Hyper-v.
- Ability to do sandbox restores to verify data integrity.
Cons
- Veeam B&R is service based and requires a lot of services to run so pretty long load time initially.
- When using it with best practices, it is sometimes difficult to get to new, never-installed resources.
- some issues backing up Linux servers with application-aware processing.
- You never know how good a backup product is until you actually try to restore something. Veeam Data Platform has been rock solid
- We can back up our virtualized workloads and, on restore, can get embedded files out, which is 90% of what we typically do. We don't have to do separate file-level backups to get this functionality.
- Arcserve Backup, MSP360 Backup and Veritas Backup Exec
Veeam Data Platform was best value, except in the case of MSP360 where it was just a superior product.
