Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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).
Pros and Cons
  • Reduce storage costs and minimizing the impact on network consuption.
  • Veaam Backup for Azure provides application-aware backups for Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring that our data is backed up and available for recovery correctly.
  • Replication: Veeam Backup for Azure helps us to replicate our workloads to another Azure region or on-premises environment for disaster recovery purposes and compliance needs.
  • Better documentation about permissions on Azure. It was a bit confusing to find a god documentation about it.
  • There are some Azure features that has no support on Veeam Backup for Azure.
  • Make the azure client integrated into Veeam Backup and Replication to use just a simple console to operate.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
