Veeam Backup for Azure

We have Servers in Azure and we use Veeam Backup for Azure to back them up. Our company has been a customer for a few years and we find the product easy to manage. Azure backup needs a little help and Veeam Backup for Azure fits the bill.

We are using Veeam Backup for Azure daily, becasue we need it for backing up our infrastructure which is located in Azure. We didn´t have any problems with this product. We use it to back up our environment. I recommend it to other clients because of its functionality and ease of operation. Veeam has worked very well with our hybrid infrastructure.

As we began to deploy systems in Azure we knew we needed a backup solution. Since we use Veeam B&R for on-premises systems it was a no brainer to use Veeam for Azure. The policy based backup makes it easy to ensure new systems are automatically captured without needing to adjust backup jobs every time.

We currently use the product initially to back up configurations, In the next few steps we will appli on to virtual machines and then databases.

I’ve been a user/manager of Veeam’s on-premise solution for 7 years or more, and in general have been extremely happy with it. The installation is incredibly easy and intuitive, you can just get on with it. Veeam Backup for Azure is less so. Firstly, we needed external support to get this in place. I am sure we could have worked this out ourselves, but time and resources at our end were constrained and buying in professional services days (it took 2 days) was the path of least resistance. Azure in general is more complex than on-premise so I guess that shouldn’t be entirely unexpected, but it is something to consider, as this isn’t simply a case of installing an application, but standing up a virtual infrastructure for it too. Secondly, this does not support multi-subscription/cross-subscription backups. To be fair to Veeam this is most likely down to how Azure works and limitations placed on you by external forces (i.e. Microsoft), however you’d have thought that by now a solution would have been created to allow this to happen (we’ve been running this for about 2 years now). So, we had a choice of either buying another separate set of licensing for the other subscription using Veeam Backup for Azure or another solution such as Microsoft Azure Backup instead for it. We came down on the side of cost, and in this instance ‘free’ won (again, Microsoft). Veeam Backup for Azure has many more bells and whistles on it than Microsoft Backup, and as such I would recommend it, but there are other players in the market now which can manage and maintain your backups for on-premise and cloud, so it is worth shopping around to see what best fits your situation.

We had a few VMs running in Azure that needed to be backed up and Veeam for Azure was the perfect fit for our needs. The setup was very easy and we had no issues getting the VMs backed up with our specific schedule and retention setings. We also tested restores without any issues.

We use Veeam Backup for Azure to protect our server workloads that we run. We have critical VMs that are protected by this solution. We require the ability to recover our Azure VMs quickly and easily.

We use Veeam Backup to back up our critical systems and data. It provides some assurances that we are able to back up and restore against data corruption, accidental deletion, hardware failure, etc. We have been using and relying on Veeam for our backups ever since I started with the company going on 8 years now and would highly recommend it.

We use Veeam Backup for Azure more for a storage repository. It helps with cost because the cost of storage for a Rack of drives cost more than cloud storage on Azure. It reliable and very quick to recall data as needed. Also, you can get results realtime. This solution seem to be better than the AWS solution. Both were easy to setup.

Veeam Backup for Azure helps us improve our data protection and disaster recovery plans for our Azure workloads, especially our SQL databases on Azure. Now we have a continuous backup log strategy much better than our older backup solution and some scripts that helped us maintain a good backup strategy on Azure.
We use Veeam Backup and Replication on our on-premises data center, so it was easy to integrate and operate Veeam Backup for Azure. There was no learning path for our team. Licensing was not a problem (costs and understanding).

Safe backups before rolling out changes to Servers. Getting old archive files that have been deleted. We have it doing incremental backups during the week with a majot backup on the weekend when the workload on our servers are lower. The software is easy to use and deploy with our limited IT crew.

I worked on various backup technologies like NetBackup, Commvault, Backup Exec, HPDP, Networker, NetVault, Unitrends, and Microsoft DPM. So I want to give my true review of the Veeam. I've been working in Veeam for Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Azure since last year. I recommend Veeam as the best backup solution for virtual machine environments. Its lightweight and user-friendly tool and configuration are very simple and self-explanatory in the console itself. Its capability of doing compression and deduplication at the application and hardware level is best for cost savings. The instance-based license we are using for cloud backup is also used for on-premises VBR backups, as it is a universal license. Restoration steps are as common as others. I can see an advanced feature and option in Veeam called Health Check to test the data integrity of our backups. We recommended Veeam Backup for Azure to our client to backup VM instances, which is the easiest way to create snapshots and retain them with the retention policy rather than doing cloud-native snapshots and restores. Backup to storage tiers like cool, hot, and archive depends on our needs and gives much cost savings. Lastly, Veeam is the best to protect your data more efficiently and securely.

I utilize Veeam Backup for Azure as an offsite backup location that can easily be restored from virtually anywhere. I've tested restoring to on premise locations as well as cloud locations and the application works perfectly to fit our needs. Everyone is worried about not being able to keep their data safe, but you easily can keep your data safe when sending the data to Azure as well as your other backup locations.

We use Veeam to automate snapshots of critical business resources and replicate to recovery hardware. This has contributed to decreased recovery time as well as decreased downtime. The set up and install has been straightforward, the costs have not been astronomical and we are able to backup/replicate to multiple storage arrays on-site as well as the less frequent off-site backups.

Currently, we have an on-premise deployment of Veeam Backup and Replication. My experience with Veeam Backup for Azure has been everything I'd ever want in a backup software. I'm able to seamlessly recover accidentally deleted files, which may come in handy in the future. I've fallen in love with Veeam's modern user interface, and have no intention of using any other software to back up my files.

We used Veeam Backup as a product to help us consolidate our on premise and cloud estate together, we make use of Azure Backup and Veeam Backup for Azure and found the Veeam Backup for Azure was much easier to work out the costing for and much easier to use.

The main pro is that the setup is easy, the app registration is as good as automatic as it can get. The hard truth is that Microsoft isn’t responsible if you lose your data. With Veeam Backup for Azure we’re assured that our data safe. We had the pleasure to do restores from OneDrive/Outlook/SharePoint & Teams sites. For potential buyers be aware, that you will need a license for each user that has an smtp address/mailbox that is known by Azure

We use Veeam Backup for Azure having previously used Veeam Backup & Replication for VMWare. It provides VM-level backup and Disaster Recovery for our IaaS estate within Azure. Being able to back up to a different region from the region the VMs are located in was key for us and reducing the cost of this inter-region transfer was important.

We use Veeam Backup as part of our formal virtual server backup procedure. We have critical infrastructure in the cloud that we can't afford to lose that holds our applications, databases and file storage areas. We use Veeam as our main backup software. It backs up around 20 virtual machines and 2 storage accounts.

Veeam can be used for backing up any service. The feature which is most used would be the Veeam Cloud connect. Having used previous backup technologies Veeam is the simplest of most. With very little training it can be set up, managed and used by all staff. It also ranges to backing up 365 services.

We use it to back up our critical vm workloads and the product is an excellent choice. The dashboard of the Veeam Backup for Azure gives us live updates of the back. We have our DR drill using Veeam Backup for Azure and it has given us excellent results. Veeam Backup for Azure has been a part of our backup policy for 5 years. We would like to have more of local support.

Veeam Backup for Azure is in use to backup our file to azure as secondary off site backup. it was also in use to support our Disaster recovery solution where we perform data backup as replication from our data center to azure where it will then be boot up when ever needed

We currently use Veeam not only for backing up Azure but also for backing up O365. With 90% or our employees working remotely, it is imperative that we have a solid easy-to-use solution for backup and recovery. Veeam has worked very well with our hybrid infrastructure and we feel very confident our data is safe!

With Veeam Backup for Azure, we can easily create, manage, and automate backups of their Azure virtual machines, disks, and files. They can also perform granular file-level recovery and full VM recovery in minutes. The product addresses common business problems related to data protection and disaster recovery in Azure. It is used with a few Azure VMs.
