Veeam Data Platform

Formerly Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam to backup our entire organizations data that cannot be easily retrievable or restored otherwise. This includes shared files and documents, entire VMs of domain controllers and other servers and even a few various full computer images for machines that need to be set up in a very specific way. Not every employee in a non-profit industry such as this is incredibly tech savvy. Couple that with the fact that as a non-profit, we generally cannot afford to keep all of our technology on the cutting edge, sometimes things happen and files get lost, or deleted, or corrupted. Veeam has made it a breeze for me to restore those files, systems or virtual machines with the click of a couple of buttons. This saves potentially weeks or months of work being lost due to a small mistake or a large catastrophic failure. And with the replication feature, it's easy to save multiple copies of the backed up files, as well as keep multiple iterations of the backups going back a specific amount of time. This software has saved my life (and quite possibly my job) dozens of times over the years and I am extremely pleased at having made the decision to move to it when I did.

We use Veeam to backup our clustered hyper-v environment for both the township and the police department. With both instances we are setup to backup locally to the windows Veeam appliance located on-site and the appliance is set to replicate to a linux appliance setup off-site. The windows appliance is setup running hyper-v so that we can do restores for both testing backups, recovery and test updates. the linux appliance is configured with immutable backups for an extra layer of security.

I've used Veeam for over 13 years. I was first introduced to it while working for an MSP to backup all of the virtual machines for ourselves and our customers. I had previously been used to a very popular tape-based backup software and I couldn't believe the difference in technologies. When I moved from an MSP into the role of an IT Manager, the first software I introduced was Veeam for the physical infrastructure and eventually the virtualised infrastructure. It's easy to use and extremely reliable, every update brings better stability a new features as opposed to introducing bugs and issues.

We use Veeam Data Platform for the Backup and Restore and Monitoring and Reporting pieces. We use it for Backups of our entire environment, modeling the 3-2-1 model. We use a Linux hardened repository with Immutability to protect from Ransomware. We have about 220 VMs we protect with our Veeam backup jobs and backup copy jobs. We maintain a 7-year retention. We will be moving the backup copy jobs to the cloud in 2024. We use the Monitoring and Reporting features to troubleshoot alarms and rightsize our systems.

Our organisation uses Veeam Data Platform Backup and Replication as both a local backup solution, and as a Disaster Recovery solution via replication to a Veeam Cloud Service Provider. The solution protects 30 virtual machine hosts, and provides us a comprehensive solution, which is extremely cost effective at this scale.

We recently moved from another product to veeam, as a small company we were looking for an affordable and robust disaster recovery solution. The pricing on our previous solution had become an issue for us. We use the product to protect several windows workstations and 35 hyper-v guests.

We found the initial set up to be very easy and it is simple to test backups to ensure confidence in the product

We are backing up over 240 servers to a EMC Data Domain. We have also used Wasabi as an immutable storage location.

Organization is using Veeam to backup Virtual Machines running on VMWare vSphere environment. Using Veeam do on-site multi-schedule on site backup as well replication of critical Virtual Machines to off-site location.

Veeam was utilized as our primary backup and recovery solution. It was frequently used to recover incorrectly deleted data from server shares. It was also integral to our disaster recovery plan with our laboratory services.

We use it back up all our VMware network. That gives us a full back of every server and VDI desktop. We also have 2 other backup solutions in place. Veeam is mostly use to restore user profiles.

We use Veeam Data Platform to handle all of our backups for our server estate. The product makes backing up so fast and seamless compared to another product we used to use, it offers great flexibility and major scalability with great support from the software vendor if needed. Updating is made a cinch and doesn't require any downtime from our side and the backups just pick right back up where they left off if they hit a snag.

We use Veeam as a backup resolution. Veeam collects backups of our servers, and core switches. I also use Veeam to back up our Lab data to a NAS, mostly we utilize Veeam to create back up Disk rather than in the cloud. We will continue toto use Veeam for our on-prem devices but will transition over to cloud later.

We currently use Veeam Backup & Replication within a supported client environment. This client has roughly 14x total servers, of which 11x are VMs and 3x are host servers. Veeam Backup & Replication is responsible for running nightly backups on all of these servers. We've found that it's an easy-to-manage, out-of-the-box solution for backing up both physical hosts and their associated VMs. We rarely have any issues that require reaching out to the Veeam Support Team and in the few instances that we have engaged their support, we've been impressed with their timely response and ability to assist with the issue at hand. The cost associated with the required Veeam licenses is slightly higher than some of the other backup solutions that we've worked with in the past. Still, we find that we have far fewer issues getting Veeam Backup & Replication to do what we need it to do and the time saved more than makes up for the higher price point that the software itself can carry.

We use it to back up our Virtual Machines. It help us recover either just a single file/folder or the entire virtual machine. It is used daily in our organization.

It helps us secure and replicate our backups. The information being secured is extremely sensitive and requires the upmost protection to prevent any sort of unauthorized access or intrusion. We need to be able to ensure that all replications flare consistent and secure while both in transit and at rest. Making sure that it’s working properly is something we entrust to Veeam Data Platform.

We use it for managing our backup environment for on-prem and cloud. We had an issue with our backup and replication but got it resolved through support.

Veeam is a trusted name in the industry and one we trust with our backups, Their tool makes it easy to go in and get the data you need as well as set up different retention policies for different servers, etc.

Veeam Data Platform serves our need for maintaining backups of our systems and facilitating the recovery of those systems should a Disaster Recovery situation arise. The wide variety of recovery options allows us to recover full systems down to individual files that a user accidentally deletes or becomes corrupted.

I think Veeam Data Platform is awesome for Virtual Server Backups, Physical Server backups and also MS o365 backups. Veeam Data Platform helps us move servers from virtual hosts, restore files, whole Virtual Machines reliably and quickly. Instant Virtual Server restore is a life saver when a windows patch prevents a system booting, or some software upgrade goes very wrong (and you didn't snapshot a vm in VmWare). We also use vCenter essentials, so we do not have live migrations; Veeam Data Platform definitely helps us here by allowing us to move servers around. We also started using Veeam o365 backup for more than just our sharepoint repositories. Now that we finally moved to hosted o365 email we can back that up as well with Veeam Data Platform. We also added in a rotating backup for offline backups as a just in case last resort restore option. It was simple for us to just add the offline rotating backup to our backup plan.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition for testing purposes. We have VMware and Hyper-V servers and create tasks for backing up virtual machines hosted on those servers. We are doing this for 5 VMs and monitor the time it takes to backup, then we restore them and check them to see if the software works as expected; and it does.

It is an easy to configure, simple, and powerful platform for data backup & Disaster Recovery.

We are using it in school for education. We are using it to learn it on a productive system to understand the software better. When we learned enough to take the next step we can try to get e certificate for Veeam too. I really like the software so far.

It is our main backup and recovery system. We backup 17+ VMWare servers in whole every day and they are stored on local disk, copied to a 16-tape autoloading tape system, and then copied to a hosted off-site internet storage vendor. All of it done automatically with minor interaction needed unless there is an issue.

We use Veeam products to protect absolutely all the company's data in all our Sites

We have been using Veeam in the company for many years. We needed a product that would allow us to backup our virtual and physical machines. So Veeam Backup and Replication was evaluated and chosen. It is a very good product, very good. We have integrated it with vmware vsphere. We have full visibility of all the machines and can quickly save them to Veeam Backup and Replication and restore them if needed. We needed a product that would allow us to restore virtual machines quickly, or just restore individual files. Veeam Backup and Replication answered our needs. We have it deployed on two separate sites in our city. Everything works perfectly!
