Veeam Backup for Azure

So we are using Veeam specifically for our Azure workloads, it works very well for this but for our on prem backups the solution was not suited for what we were wanting at the time we implemented our SaaS backups solutions. The restores for Azure are lightning fast and well suited for our Azure workload.

We purchased Veeam Backup for Azure for one reason and that was to backup Azure. it was designed for this so we are in good hands. We have never had an issue

Veeam Backup for Azure is perfect for easily create, manage, and automate backups virtual machines, disks, and files. They can also perform granular file-level recovery and full VM recovery in minutes.

For our purposes I can't particularly find any shortcomings of Veeam Backup for Azure. It has been working well for our needs for a few years now. Maybe for someone with a larger cloud footprint or more complex needs, or maybe someone who wants to be able to deploy and configure the appliance using infrastructure as code it may not be as practical.

In our case, we have a hybrid environment and with this tool we have the possibility of making backups using a single tool. For our organization, the tool complies with the ones we use.

If you're already a user of Veeam it's a no brainer really. It'll be familiar to you and your team to use which means you can get up and running reasonably fast with this, It's obviously useful having support and licencing all under one banner too, but the cloud solution does seriously lag behind in functionality compared to it's on-premise solution.

Any VM in Azure is a good option for Veeam backup. It is compatible with most operating systems and the setup and configuration of the backup jobs and schedules is very user friendly. We also use Veeam on-prem to backup VMs in our datacenters but we wanted a solution for the cloud hosted workloads as well.

Quickly allows for setup of backup policies. The restore process sometimes seems like there are a series of steps which I think could be streamlined.

Would highly recommend Veeam's Backup products. Ability to have immutable storage, file-level restores and multiple restore points are all key features Veeam provides.

When migrating from on Prim to AWS then to AZure the process was a little challenging because of some of the way we configured up front but once we went from AWS to Azure it was no looking back. We didn't have the extra storage to move things around like most companies to but it worked out great and we were also able to store more cold backups on Azure due to the low cost of cold storage.

Well-suited scenarios for Veeam Backup for Azure: Organizations that have critical workloads running in Azure and require a fast and reliable backup and recovery solution to minimize downtime in the event of a data loss event. Organizations that need to replicate their Azure-based workloads to another Azure region or on-premises environment for disaster recovery purposes. Organizations that require granular backup policies that are based on their specific needs to reduce storage costs and minimize the impact on network bandwidth. Scenarios where Veeam Backup for Azure may be less appropriate: Organizations that do not have any workloads running in Azure and therefore do not require a cloud-native backup and recovery solution. Organizations that have very complex backup and recovery requirements that cannot be met by Veeam Backup for Azure.

Large organisations but not home use.

I didn't hear till now any other backup technologies doing well in backup of cloud VM resources rather Veeam Backup for Azure. I have implemented this in Azure and AWS as well and its doing its job very smooth and in efficient manner in saving cost.

Veeam Backup for Azure is well suited for disaster recovery and business continuity. Veeam Backup for Azure grants peace of mind knowing that your backups are securely stored in the cloud and can be restored easily. Depending on the storage options you've chosen for Azure, you can have hot, warm, and cold backups setup for archival and retention purposes, as well as immediate restoration needs.

Veeam Backup has allowed us to take incremental backups of VMs and PCs that require significant up time. These backups are a critical part of our disaster recovery plan and also allow us to replicate/spin up recent copies for testing purposes. They are also useful as an additional recovery option on staff machines where users may store data locally instead on networked storage or SharePoint. It is also useful for the migration of a user setup to newer hardware.

I'd say the average company that utilizes virtualization within their work environment should be using this service for their replication needs. Each backup is encrypted, which brings peace of mind for those who need those servers to work every day. Veeam backups act a "security blanket" in case of an attack or breach.

Being able to backup Azure VMs is super simple to setup and hook in to azure, and it "just works". Pricing is simple to understand and can be backed up to multiple locations.

If you have an cluster and using hyper-v make sure the resource has been created by hyper-v and not an other manager like failover cluster manager

As we were already using Veeam B&R it made for an easy transition to Veeam Backup for Azure. We wanted a solution that wasn't tied to Azure to avoid lock-in. On the occasions where we have needed to restore certain files, the File Level Recovery has worked without issue. We also regularly test the full VM-level backups.

If you're looking to backup your Azure estate, then Veeam is a good choice. It works well and does exactly what you'd want it to do. It gets constant improvements with every release.
Azure's built-in Backup process is pretty robust and reliable so that might be enough for you, but if you need more control, better visibility and more features then Veeam is definitely one to check out.

Due to the range of supportability it can be used with almost any tool whether it's physical or virtual.

For backing up critical workloads in a hybrid environment., there is no better product than the Veeam Backup for Azure in the market. The automated backup and restore flexibility works very well without any issues. Snapshots and image level backup is a key feature in the Veeam Backup for Azure which helps us in the It department.

best scenario is when Veeam Backup for Azure is able to automate backup process to ease backup operator in day to day task. Worst scenario is when Veeam Backup for Azure is unable to perform automate checking on backup that has been done to ensure that backup copy is good and can be use.

With 90% of our employees working remotely a complete and dedicated backup and recovery system for our data is essential. Veeam is the perfect solution for us. We not only use it for Azure backups, but we use it for Office 365 as well. Our stored in the cloud is definitely safe with Veeam.
