Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform Foundation

Used for doing backup, replication, and offsite storage of virtual machines. Using both the Hyper-V and VMWare platforms. We have a virtual machine running the Veeam management, then keep local backups on a NAS attached via iSCSI. Those backups are copied to both an offsite location as well as to AWS storage.

Pros

  • Ease of installation/configuration
  • Reliability of backups
  • Integrations into cloud storage providers

Cons

  • Better ability to read logs when there is an error

  • No realized impact to ROI good or bad
Veeam works very well for virtualized workloads on their supported platforms - only really used VMWare and Hyper-V. When a physical machine needs to be protected, it works well and integrates into the backup console.
Not sure how much I would use it to back up a NAS, as the licensing is quite expensive.
Veeam might not be great for companies with VMs running really old (unsupported) operating systems....but there is probably something else going on outside of Veeam!
