We utilize Veeam Backup and Replication version 12 in our organization. We also use Veeam Azure Backup and Recovery. We backup our on premises servers to an onsite storage appliance and Azure cloud. We backup our Azure servers to the Azure cloud. We are planning on purchasing Veeam O365 backup soon.
  • Unified backup solution using one console.
  • Many different restore options.
  • Many different backup options.
  • Console takes some getting used to.
  • SOBR is somewhat complex to set up.
  • Backups take a fair bit of time, but this might be expected.
Personally, I have had an excellent experience with Veeam Data Platform. Immutable backups are an important feature that we use. The ability to restore an on premises server to the cloud is also a great feature. I had some issues getting email notifications to work, but I was able to figure it out.

We use it to back up all of our VMWare Virtual Machines to 3 separate backup repository. This allows up to restore files that have accidentally been deleted. The main business problems the product addresses, though, is disaster recovery and ransomware protection. We have also used Veeam Data Platform to migrate VMs from 1 set of VMWare hosts to another.
  • Ease of recovery with file level restores.
  • Application aware backups for Exchange and SQL servers.
  • Ability to set backup windows and schedule backups based on other backups finishing.
  • Slightly confusing license management.
  • Sometimes has delays when loading file level backups.
  • No ability to update from within the software.
Veeam Data Platform is ideal for doing full virtual machine backups from VMWare to an external repository. It also supports cloud backups. I like that it has the ability to easily backup to external hard drives for air-gapped backups. Natively support using Linux for backup proxies and immutable backups. Also can be used for bare metal backups with additional license.

We use it to create backup images of our virtual servers to a local NAS and restore them (or, more rarely, individual files) should we encounter any trouble.
  • Highly configurable
  • Dependable
  • Backups
  • UI update interval (like charts, copy speed update) is a bit slow.
  • Starting backups takes a while, doesn't really explain what it's doing.
  • Backups fail/warn for a lot of misc reasons, so a lot of time is spent diagnosing these (like the dreaded "Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failed").
I would recommend Veeam to somebody with a similar environment who needs to take backups of their VMs or even physical servers and be able to restore those directly in the event of a server crash.

We use it for backup and backup copy for a Hyper-V environnement.
The free lifetime version is a great opportunity to test it for company with low I.T. budget.
The backup copy functionality is very useful.
The backup explorer is easy to use to restore quickly a simple file.
  • The free community version
  • Backup hyper-V
  • Compress backup
  • Backup copy fonction.
  • adding a group of usb disk easier
  • To have the possibility to back up VmWare workstation player like a Hyper-V!!
  • Have an option to buy Veeam definitely not at month.
Good point:
A good back up software with huge documentation!
Not easy to use the first time without help.
The free community edition, very usefull.

Bad point:
No lifetime licence...
The data limitation when you backup a nas... no comment -_-
No backup up of a wmware workstation player environnement.

Veeam Backup & Replication allows us to backup our data in a secure & logical way, giving us peace of mind that should any files get accidentally deleted, or if there is an issue with a virtual machine, we have the means to restore to when it was last working correctly.

We also link in our backups with Veeam Cloud Connect, for secure, off-site backup, as part of our backup procedure.
  • Provides a comprehensive, yet easy to navigate user interface.
  • Lowers workload with automated backup scheduling.
  • Easy integration with Veeam Cloud Connect for secure, off-site backup.
Veeam Backup & Replication has been tried & tested in the Education sector & I personally recommend it.
Whilst it's slightly more expensive than some of the other backup competitors, it's not the most expensive & I feel you really do get your moneys worth.
Especially with the flexibility of the various add-ons you can integrate with it as a platform.

Newest Version is amazing, cut the time to do our backups in half. we are now confidant in our backups and rarely have to do any checks aside from our quarterly restore. Overall Veeam is a great Solution for almost any company and i would highly recommend it to anyone in the IT field.
  • backups large data very fast
  • easy to use interface
  • compatible with many OS/environments
  • could use a UI Cleanup
  • licensing used to be better
Never have had any real issues with Veeam, and for the small issues support has always been amazing and quick. We use a combination of Physical servers and virtualized. veeam works seamlessly with what we have thrown at it. and we regularly backup 50tb of data each week. Our tape infrastructure had no issue being implemented

I use Veeam to protect my company's Servers and Workstations. I make a daily backup of everything and am able to recover lost data thanks to the incremental copy. I also make a copy of my 365 email with the Veeam utility for Microsoft 365. With some client equipment I have had to recover the entire system image on a new hard drive and everything without problem.
  • backup speed
  • ease configuration
  • successful data recoveries
  • I don't like getting alerts that the copy failed and then seeing that it succeeded
  • I would like it to be translated into Spanish
I have been using the utility for several years and so far, the times I have had to use it to recover a file or even an entire system, they have been satisfactory. Good copy speed.

We use Veeam Backup and Recovery mainly for server-level and file-level data protection. Being able to simply mount a backup image in order to recover a file or validate that operating system level backups are working as intended is monumentally important and gives us back valuable time that lesser backup solutions cannot. Veeam also makes it insanely easy to keep copies of backup data offsite at our other locations and the in the cloud with integrated, automated jobs that do all the work for us. I also love the fact that we can backup on one platform and restore to another (like HyperV to VMWare). We plan on using that feature in the future for a migration. Veeam support is top notch as well. Any support tickets I have get addressed by support techs that know the product inside and out.
  • Immutable backups to protect against ransomware
  • Easily integrate jobs that create copies of your data offsite or in the cloud
  • Explore backed up files from the image
  • Test OS level backups straight from the backup image
  • I honestly can't think of anything
Veeam is great for proving to auditors that your backup are trust-worthy. When you can start up a virtual server from the backup file running in memory in under 10 minutes, it is pretty darn impressive. We have also used it to take a full take a backup of a production virtual server while it was running in under 5 minutes, so we could restore it (off-network) for testing against production.

We are backing up our whole virtual infrastructure around the world. With Veeam we can use several other devices to save our backups, like tape or external ransomware-proofed storage devices. Even saving backup in the cloud via "Veeam Cloud Connector" is possible and not bad. You can just create real backup jobs to certain devices and then copy the backup over to another media without touching your live infrastructure again.
  • Application-based restores are great & quick.
  • I like the idea of having several states of backups on different devices.
  • Copying existing backups to different types of media without touching the actual infrastructure is great.
  • Creating different types of jobs sometimes gives you a headache.
  • The way of creating a retention policy is very hard to understand at the beginning.
I have used some other backup products in the past (like Symantec BackupExec, DELL vRanger, Acronis...) but none of them is as good as veeam is. The guys from Veeam are really doing a great job developing more and more features everytime they release a new major update. So I really like the product and its features (even when its harder to understand as with some other products, because you have way more features here), but I dont like the support. Luckily we have a great IT regional supplier who is helping us everytime we're having issues using Veeam, but every now and then they can't solve issues, so we have to open cases with Veeam. Unfortunately I cant tell one single case which was solved by them... Bottom line: 1. the product is great 2. get a training when starting to use it 3. most important: get a great IT supplier having Veeam experience or even better being a Veeam partner.

We use Veeam Data Platform to backup our entire VM environment. We have several Windows servers, and several Linux servers that are essential to keeping our business operating and our customers happy. We have several users who use Veeam Data Platform, all with different levels of experience. The restoration process is simple and easy to figure out.
  • Easy file level recovery.
  • Easy to maintain which servers are backed up.
  • Licensing has been strange in the past. Per Core/CPU? Why?
We have a fairly simple infrastructure, Veeam Data Platform works very well for our needs. I know there are a lot of higher end, more advanced features that we do not use. I like Veeam Data Platform because while it can do so much, it also works for the smaller, more simple use cases like ours.

Currently I utilize Veeam Data Platform as a redundant backup system for all physical servers in our environment, and am in the process of shifting our VMWare environment over to it as well. In total, it'll end up handling around 125 servers.

Primarily I'm leveraging it to fill the gaps in our backup systems; previously there was another platform in place, but it was long since defunct by the time I was hired, plus our current VM backup system is going away at the start of the next year.

Ultimately, once the VMs are transitioned, I want to use the redundant server to round out our DR setup.
  • File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used
  • Replication is extremely simple to configure and test
  • Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple
  • Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented
  • My main gripe with Veeam Data Platform was resolved with the release of 12, which was cloud backup repository addition being extremely restricted in 11
I primarily have experience with Veeam Data Platform at a medium scale, so midsize businesses and MSPs. I feel like Veeam Data Platform is extremely well-suited for creating a local backup or DR system for a smaller business that can't necessarily afford to host everything in the cloud, but can also potentially support onsite storage with a cloud repository to better make things immutable and resilient.

We currently use Veeam Data Platform for full VM backups. Our last product was a file level recovery product with no means of recovering a VM or server without installing an OS first. Veeam Data Platform has resolved that issue exceedingly well. We can recover full VMs within only a few minutes. We were also tasked with encrypting our backups, which was an easy task for Veeam Data Platform. We currently have another product for replicating VMs to an offsite datacenter, and plan to start testing the CDP and Replication parts of Veeam Data Platform to see if they can compete with our other product soon. Small test suggest that Veeam Data Platform does an excellent job with CDP and Replication, but maybe not quite as organized as our current product.
  • Uses custom storage and is not tied to any particular storage vendor.
  • Veeam Data Platform has the ability to dedupe and encrypt backups on custom storage, including ZFS.
  • Backup and recovery of entire VMs is very convenient.
  • Backing up VMs on multiple vCenters across multiple sites is seamless with Backup Enterprise Manager
  • The scalability on Veeam Data Platform is great. You can run everything on one server/VM in a small environment, or scale out more VMs to manage the workload the larger your environment is.
  • The Veeam Data Platform documentation on their website is very comprehensive. Sometimes overwhelming, but most things you need to know can be found there.
  • Veeam Data Platform could use a web interface for the Backup and Recovery product without having to install a separate application (Backup Enterprise Manager)
  • Being able to see some stats without the VeeamONE product, such as how much storage an individual VM is using.
  • The documentation is well done, but it is still difficult to discern which roles do which job. Such as the Veeam Proxies connect directly to the Hypervisor, and the Veeam Gateways mount the repositories if they are network shares.
  • Continuation from the last point, allowing individual ports through firewalls requires quite a lot of planning, the larger your environment is. If you have a small environment with only one Veeam Data Platform server, this is not an issue.
  • Getting an agent installed on semi supported versions of Linux for our bare metal servers can end up being a one by one process. Our Windows bare metal servers installed seamlessly. The different flavors of Linux has been a challenge.
  • Hopefully they are adding more granular ACLs for the VM Recovery. Currently, if someone needs to recovery an entire VM, they have to be given access to everything on the Virtual Backup and Replication server. If they need file level recovery, they can leverage the web applcation if you have installed Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and they have local admin/root access to the machine they want to recover to.
  • Veeam Data Platform could use a proper High Availability for its own management servers. The current method to replace any of the Veeam Data Platform management servers is to create a new VM/server and restore the backup of the internal database (that you better keep up with). This is probably my biggest concern with the product. We are using the competing 3rd party product to replicate the Veeam Data Platform management servers to our HA and DR sites.
  • Veeam Data Platform works great for recovering full VMs within minutes. If it was a little faster, it could replace VM snapshots entirely. It is very easy to add/remove VMs to and from backups.
  • We use vmware tags that are assigned to a Veeam Data Platform job. Each schedule, Veeam Data Platform checks these tags and add/removes them from the job. VeeamONE has reports that have changes made in case a tag is accidently ran, as well as the job throwing a warning if a VM was backed up and is no longer backed up.
  • Veeam Data Platform was our best option for backing up to custom storage. We demoed many products, and we ranged from no support at all to they couldn't dedupe unless we used their storage appliance.
  • Using a Backup Copy job has been very useful for us. We run a Backup Copy job to copy our current backup changes to our DR site after each job is complete.
  • If you have a complicate High Availability and/or DR setup, managing the Veeam Backup and Replication server, along with VeeamONE and the Veeam Enterprise Manager server can be less than ideal in my opinion. I would prefer a more Active/Active or even Active/Passive approach that keep in sync with each other vs having to manually recreate the server in a

We can do several things with Veeam Data Platform, from daily cloud full, incremental or differential backups, to an instant recovery of full systems. This product is reliable in case of disaster and has a broad protection to automate across virtual enviroment, cloud, physical and NAS. You can scale it with ease and build your disaster recovery plan and testing.
  • backups / snapshots
  • replication
  • cloud DR
  • instant recovery, they can do it faster.
  • more friendly GUI
  • provide training
a scenario where Veeam Data Platform is well suited for is in case of ramsomware because of the trusted immutability, you can recover exactly the stuff that you need anywhere safely, backups are unable to changed or delete, its integrity stays intact. Nowadays is critical having an immutable solution for the backups because ransomware attacks are rising.

We utilize Veeam to create nightly backups of all of our server infrastructure as part of our layered approach to backing up our data. First we utilize a different product to create real time replication between our datacenters. Then we utilize Veeam to create nighttime full/incremental backups and copy them down to a local storage device in an immutable state. From there Veeam allows us to replicate those backups up to another storage device in the office where the IT staff are based out of so we can copy those files to offline disks. We then rotate those offline disks in order to airgap them and store them in safes offsite. Veeam is an essential component in our data backup strategy because it allows us to create immutable backups locally and then airgap our offline backups so that no matter what type of incident happens we have a way to fully recover our data and server infrastructure and getting running again as quickly as possible.
  • Backups of virtualized infrastructure.
  • Creating replication of backups between datacenters.
  • Creating immutable backups for data protection.
  • Incorporating in physical server backups alongside virtualized server backups.
  • Haven't been a fan of recent licensing model changes
My experience with Veeam has been in a more traditional role where we back up our virtualized infrastructure and select physical servers and store them in central repositories. This is Veeam's bread and butter in my opinion and I haven't found a better product to do this role. I recommend Veeam for anyone who need to traditionally backup their servers and data and store it offsite or at another datacenter. Their options around immutable backups and replication to other datacenters have been solid value adds over the years.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication to backup our VMware environment. We had long backup windows with our old backup software and need a solution that narrowed that windows. Veeam delivered on that. Our backup times have drastically shortened and restoring a VM is almost instant. I am very happy with this backup software and really don't have any complaints.
  • Restoring a VM to production
  • options to view/restore application based backups Exchange and SQL
  • ability to turn on a VM from a backup in a test environment to test the backup or troubleshoot without affecting production.
  • the licensing model that requires you to keep paying every year to use the software is my only complaint about the software
In our environment Veeam has been really well suited for us. It integrates well with our VMware environment and allowing us to do storage snapshots on our Dell enterprise SAN's. It also allow for tape backup. We have compliance requirements that still need us to use tape backup and Veeam was one of the few venders that still offered that.

Veeam Backup & Recovery makes it easy for us to do both onsite and offsite backups of our VM infrastructure. As an added bonus, Veeam makes it easy to cover the ransomware angle through its support for immutable backups. Veeam is highly flexible and reliable. I would easily recommend it to any company that wants backups that they can rely on.
  • Reliable backups
  • Immutable backups
  • Various backup destinations
  • Support could stand to improve by a bit. The level of support has seemingly lessened over the years I've been using it.
  • It needs to be able to report backup repository statistics better when XFS and ReFS are in use.
  • It could be a little better about cleaning up after itself (old logs, etc.).
Veeam Backup and Recovery is well suited for backing up any virtualized infrastructure, be it VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, etc. The product does great at offering many different backup options. With its hardened linux repositories, you can be confident your backups are safe and secure locally, but you can still do those ever-important offsite backups/replications through Veeam Cloud Connect as well. Veeam is very versatile.

We use it to primarily handle backups and VM cloning for our vmware infrastructure and certain core physical servers. Our scope is approximately 75 to 150 VMs overall and this is expected to increase shortly. One other use case for our veeam internally is to replicate or migrate VMs across different regions where this would have previously not been possible.
  • Handles backing up and reliable replicating virtualized VMWARE infrastructure
  • Having a reliable working copy to rely on before beginning a maintenance window
  • Integration with HPE Nimble and our other NAS' is pretty solid, though netgear's readynas doesn't seem to be available as one of the supported providers.
  • Better reporting with more options
  • Additional focus on moving to a centralized model instead of requiring each instance to be installed and managed primarily through different backup servers across our locations
  • Pre-run estimations and warnings if there is insufficient space on a given datastore would be very helpful
VMWARE backup infrastructure and cloud connect. I would not really recommend veeam for SaaS platform providers and in cases where a wide range of NAS' must be made available as a destination, it falls short by not supporting netgear's products or QNAP alongside several other popular vendors. Physical backups are also pretty consistently reliable.

We use Veeam for server backups. Having global offices, backup without over reliance on the cloud is difficult, however Veeam enabled us to have both on-site back up and have back ups replicated to different countries to ensure we have a resilient IT infrastructure. We currently use it to make backups of virtual servers on site, then replicate those backups to a central location in our head offices.
  • Backup replication
  • Site failover
  • File and folder recovery
  • Console UI
Being one of the leaders in back up and disaster recovery, it's no surprise that Veeam excels in its field. In a traditional on-premise environment, its capability is second to none for backup, site failover, file and folder recovery, and restoration abilities. The specific version of veeam we use is however less suited for SaaS like 365.

  • Sometimes if there is an error solutions take a fair bit of research.
It is well suited as a server backup. We have used it for both physical servers as well as virtual servers. It saved us a ton of money over VSAN in our new environment. My only concern is that the Backup solutions like Synology will hurt Veeam as they are more of a one time cost for the life of the device.
