AWS Backup vs. Veeam on IBM Cloud

There is a cost involved with data retrieval. AWS Backup is truly that, a backup. If you need to access this data on a regular basis, there are better options out there. For long term, just in case incremental backups, AWS [Backup] checks all the boxes. Just set it up, start your backups, and rest assured your data is safe.

The Veeam on IBM Cloud functions [is] easy to set on the first time to use the platform and the effective capability on predictive disaster, easy to backup the most important data through the Veeam on IBM Cloud functionalities. The features [have] multiple different responsibilities like copy data management, effective data restore functions among many more.

• Centralized management - single pane of glass to manage backups for multiple AWS services.
• Encryption - integrates with KMS to encrypt backup data at rest and in transit.
• Cross Account management - manage backups across multiple AWS accounts with AWS organizations.

• The program installation is straight forward and uncomplicated.
• Once running it does not put a drain on system resources. After the initial backup subsequent backups are quick.
• It does what it is deigned to do and they have kept it simple for a reason.

• Restoring the compute nodes of the cluster should be done always
• Having the default Roles all the necessary permission, you have to add some depending on your configurations
• Being able to see the Jobs status in a centralize account more graphically

• The reporting could use some work. If you have a client who has some serious audit controls in place, you may find yourself creating the report versus depending on the system do that piece for you.
• My complaint would be with the notification emails. They are not configurable and come out regardless of whether a backup set completed or is still running.
• The scheduling is a little clunky. It would be much nicer if the backup could be "continuous" anytime it's connected to the Internet (similar to Carbonite).

Overall because I can sell it white labeled and use my white labeled software like CloudBerry and the native backup apps on my synology NAS servers to store things in real time and do duplication and disaster recovery directly to it was game changing for my client in the advertising world they are never down now.

Veeam is very easy to use once fully on-boarded and trained. Part of the reason we can respond to a critical situation swiftly is that it is so easy to use. We did take 2 years to be fully comfortable with the product as we tested it with others, but once we committed to Veeam, there was no question about it.

Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.

At the moment I cannot say anything bad about the overall provided services. It's holding me back to put the mark even higher as other cloud solutions have their advantages as well, so I can't rate this one higher than competitor ones. However the experience is really positive to the moment and it has delivered always.

I've tried a lot of different products. Backblaze, at least from a birds-eye view is significantly cheaper than AWS/the rest. Backblaze is a little more simpler, but it's well worth it. Linode also provides backup options, however I'm only familiar with their backup on their VPS's (however you make that plural), which never gave me a problem.

Veeam BLOWS AWAY Veritas in terms of reliability, recoverability, and Especially PRICE! Veritas is literally thousands of dollar more than comparable Veeam Software. Veritas's support is virtually non-existent. I believe the only reason Veritas is even still in business is because of their reputation as the ONLY backup software a decade or more ago. If you use Veritas, I HIGHLY recommend throwing it away and trying out Veeam - You will NOT go back to Veritas!

• The cost can't be best.
• Pay only for what you use. No need to pay for extra data that you don't need.
• No minimums

• We solved a problem where we needed a backup for some remote clients and paying the cost for local backup was not feasible.
• allows us to put a solid backup and recovery solution in a client with very little monthly cost.
• Business backup and recovery, disaster recovery, hybrid data protection (onsite and cloud), server and workstation backup.
