About 70 servers when you combine physical and virtual. It's what we expected. We still back up our test servers with Microsoft DPM to save money.

I want to rely on my backup solution and that was worth paying for. What caused us to switch to Veeam Data Platform was that Microsoft DPM kept breaking and even had to be reinstalled.

Our previous backup appliance had a HUGE learning curve, a fair bit of manual processing, and was very expensive to maintain. The old appliance/software was so bad that we eventually stopped using it completely. We swapped to Veeam Data Platform to replace it for ease of use, more automatic …

We archive some of our backups periodically to an off-site NAS. We do not use a special solution. We just have another archival job on the Veeam Data Platform Backup and Replication software specially for this.

We're right around two dozen virtual servers now that Veeam protects for us and we didn't ever expect to have this many. New services have driven our virtual server count up from what we started at, we never envisioned Veeam would be helping us maintain so many servers and services.

We were bare metal until around 2013, backups and restoes to servers/services were painful and slow. We tried other virtualization backup software and weren't really happy. We made the swap to Veeam due to a suggestion from a friendly customer and haven't looked back since. Veeam has been able to …

Our group in particular does not use Veeam for cloud backup at this time but it is something that we have in our sights. We have a friendly entity that is using Veeam for immutable storage with a cloud provider and they are feeding us good vibes about the process.

Verified User

Non-profit Organization Management Company, 201-500 employees
- It gives me peace of mind because it is reliable whereas DPM was always breaking which was very stressful.
- I love the primary backup destination being a Linux hardened server.
- I love sending disk backups to another location for secondary backups and to the cloud for even more redundancy.

Honest review of our transition to Veeam Data Platform
Verified User
Employee in Information Technology
Higher Education Company, 5001-10,000 employees
- The ability to recover entire VMs from scratch, even if deleted as been great. It has allowed us the "courage" to move forward with VM OS upgrades and use Veeam Data Platform to recovery back if the upgrade goes sideways. Which has happened quite a few times.
- VeeamONE has allowed us to gather reports and billing information on how much storage we are using per VM and can be broken down by week, month, year.
- We also keep ransomware in mind, and Veeam Data Platform's constant improvements to battling ransomware is one of the major selling points to upper management.
- The dedupe feature is something that we didn't have in our last product. Deduping alone is saving us a tremendous amount of storage. With our current retention period, our total storage usage is hovering around 150% of each VM. Multiple times less than our previous product. To note, this is using our custom storage that is not deduplicating on its own.

Reliable backups with some weak points in cross-site management
Verified User
Engineer in Information Technology
Retail Company, 1001-5000 employees
- Confidence before starting riskier maintenance windows is a large component of what veeam is able to offer for us
- Some of the segmentation between different backup servers across our data enters causes unnecessary delays or backups that are duplicated unnecessarily
- Lack of certain storage vendors being natively supported requires hacky workarounds not fit for a production environment
