Currently I use Veeam to do a daily backup of our EHR server, as well as maintaining replication at 15 minute intervals.
  • Maintaining backups with restore points
  • Consistently performing replication on a set schedule
  • Notification options
  • Need a way to schedule individual days/times to skip backup/replication along as exceptions to the normal schedule
This works great for my needs. Currently using it for one server. Considering using it to manage replication for the rest of my virtual machines.

Veeam provides an all in one backup appliance for Hyper-V and physical servers. Veeam Backup and Replication powered daily, hourly, and CDP backups for all servers within four data centers globally. The ingress of all servers into a single platform with egress to almost limitless destinations is the best feature of the product.
  • Hyper-V Guest Integration
  • Instant Restore
  • WAN Acceleration for offsite backups
  • Better management around second backup location jobs
Any environment which is a mix of virtualized and physical workloads with client devices which are needed to be backed up. Veeam has one of the easiest interfaces to learn and consume the various systems into one easy to use platform. Portability when testing and recovering from backup is also key.

We've used Veeam products for a few years now, and implementing Veeam B&R for some of our VM infrastructure was a natural next step: the interface is familiar, and the features are robust. We brought in a reseller to help with some of the setup (and to help make sure we nailed the best practices), and it's been working seamlessly since then. The biggest thing we're currently waiting on is the ability to seamlessly back up and bare metal restore SMB shares; we've been told that comes out in v12.
  • Simple and methodical VM backups.
  • Stable and well-supported.
  • Robust monitoring.
  • SMB bare metal restores (upcoming feature!)
We've been delighted with Veeam B&R for keeping our virtual infrastructure backups current. It does the job well and gives us a smooth transition when adding to the workload or changing things up on the fly. We're waiting on a few more features in the coming months, but it's been an excellent product.

We use Veeam to back up our two VMware clusters, which allows us to protect our users and infrastructure against user error or malicious actors. Veeam’s ease of use to restore items such as SharePoint elements, tables from a database or simple files makes our job much easier and reassures users in case of an issue we can restore data quickly and efficiently. We also make use of the Veeam tape function with a LTO library for offsite backups. After 5 years of using Veeam to protect our whole on-prem services and Office 365 I can’t recommend this product enough.
  • Speed of backups.
  • The number of applications you can restore data to.
  • Ease of use
  • PostgreSQL application support
  • Licence changes from sockets to VULS
  • More application item restore options
Veeam is an excellent product that is an excellent backup solution for any businesses, I work in the public sector so it’s important to keep as much data on prem as possible, Veeam is the perfect solution to protect our on prem infrastructure. For anyone in the public sector I can recommend Veeam backup replication as an excellent tool to backup and protect your data.

While working in IT/OT industry for 20+ years I have experience working with a number of backup software vendors - Arcserve, BackupExec, Netbackup, etc. I found Veeam Backup & Replication is different from pretty much every perspective (in a good way =). First - customer support is on another. Starting with extensive, constantly updated Knowledgebase and best practice library, followed by huge community and forum 24/7 monitored by Veeam Backup & Replication employees and great, local to you, professional support. If you open the case you can make sure person assigned to the case listen you, trying to understand the problem and even level 1 support can do more then level 3 for some vendors. Second - approach to software releases. Last v12 being polished for longer then a year and I do appreciate it as I can be sure I don't need to wait for half a year after release waiting for all initial issues will be fixed. Last but not least - functionality of the product in most of the cases covering all possible DR scenarios you can imagine.
  • Workload replication
  • Immutable backups
  • SAN integration
  • Windows Failover Cluster backups
  • Flexibility in Tape backups
  • Publish Powershell modules in Powershell Gallery
From my point of view it may suit any scenario - from tiny business with free Community edition to Enterprises with Enterprise Plus version

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our Virtual Server infrastructure on-premises and also use it to back up to the cloud for disaster recovery. We need the ability to be able to restore both files and also application items like SQL databases. We have up to 3 copies of every server in different locations and Veeam Backup & Replication gives us the option to do this easily. We are currently using the cloud backup as strictly a DR option as we have so many failovers on-premesis.
  • Instant recovery option
  • Quickly add and remove VMs
  • Connects to failover infrastructure
  • It doesn't handle running more than 4 tasks at once
  • It is a slow application to use and log into
  • When removing a portable hard drive used for a restore the terminology is a bit confusing
We found Veeam Backup & Replication to be great for backing up virtual servers and that is the only use we have had for it. From what I have seen in my experience, the live restore function doesn't seem to work on a VM more than 4TB in size. It gets to the 4TB and fails every time.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for backing up various servers throughout the company. We currently backup over 15 servers on a continuous schedule multiple times per day. It handles Domain Controllers, File Servers, and numerous application severs. Most are virtual machines but some are also bare-metal. Different servers run on different schedules and number of snapshots is managed by the software to prevent the server from getting too full to work.
  • Snapshot and Backups
  • Backup scheduling
  • Snapshot and Backups mangement (file size and file deletion)
  • Ease of use
  • Takes a long time to open
Veeam backup and Replication is a must have for any computer or server that you need to have copies of. The way it automaticallydeletes excess backups to save disk space is invaluable. It really is "set it and forget it" until you need to restore files or images.Veeam Backup and Replication probably isn't needed for saving a few files or choice folders. It can also be a resource hog so end users need to be mindful when installing it on an environment.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication v11 to back up all of our data in AWS. We store backups in S3 buckets or Glacier for archiving. It was pretty easy to set up and the restoration process so far as gone quickly and without issue. We are not using Veeam to back up any local data at this time. We are only using it for AWS EC2 instances and EBS volumes.
  • Easy to set up and use
  • Easy and straightforward recovery
  • Good customer support
  • Some of their documentation is hard to follow
  • More explanation on advanced features
  • More automation
I have only used Veaam Backup & Replication v11 within AWS and specifically EC2. We have used it for almost a year now (including the trial period) and it has been able to handle what we needed for simple backup and restore. The pricing is surprisingly affordable for licensing. I would recommend it for managing EC2 and EBS backups.

Veeam is useed on premise for day to day backup operations and also for replicating for DR purposes.
  • Ease of Use
  • Quick recover
  • Cloud backup
  • 365 backup
  • Dated interface
  • Sometimes overly complicated GUI
  • More integration with the cloud outside of Aws etc
This is great for a business that wants to protect itself ! The system is very easy to use and have backups and replications going very quickly. I wouldnt say any scenario would be inappropriate as smaller businesses could use the community edition which again helps with costs, its a vital piece of software and everyone should be encouraged to use it!

The Gold Standard

We currently utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for our system backups for our Virtual Environment, as well as a few physical servers. We utilize both the backup and the replication feature, create immutable copies, and replicate both to a cloud environment as well as a 2nd datacenter. Veeam Backup & Replication allows for regular DR testing, and I've utilized the instant restore feature a couple of times on a corrupted VM - it worked perfectly. Highly recommend this for DR and a backup system.
  • Very Quick CBT snapshot backups
  • Immutable storage backup and replication
  • VERY FAST restores for excellent Business continuity
  • Better help documentation within the program - you need to be an expert BEFORE a disaster strikes.
If you're running a virtual environment, you NEED Veeam Backup & Replication. It's the gold standard. Their agent for physical servers works pretty well as well. You can set your snapshots for backup and replication as tight as your servers can handle (usually 5-15 minutes) and can even do advanced snapshotting for exchange and SQL, provided that you have the IOPS.

Veeam allow us to manage M365 application data in an on-prem and off-prem data center. We found we want greater ability to backup and restore more M365 application data than Microsoft was giving us. Veeam allows the ability to pick certain users to manage rather all Active Directory users which would be much more costly.
  • Manages SharePoint data
  • Manages OneDrive data
  • Manages Teams data
  • Manages Exchange data
  • Greater Exchange data insight
  • Greater Teams data insight

Veeam fits our services stack really well. It manages data where we need it. It works!

We use Veeam Backup & Replication for our on-premise physical servers and our VM infrastructure, including the cloud. Our previous backup software did not have many of the features of Veeam Backup & Replication, including the ease of testing restores thoroughly and effectively. The other important feature is that Veeam Backup & Replication reduced our overall backup time by over 4 hours.
  • The speed in which backups are completed.
  • The detailed information about backup success or failure.
  • The ability to backup SQL databases is very granular and easy to restore.
  • The addition backing up physical hardware servers was an important feature for us.
  • The documentation of the test lab for testing restores should be emphasized more.
  • Because there are so many features, it is important to have help in initial setup.
In the past, when I looked at Veeam Backup & Replication, it did not support physical servers, only VMs. But now that it supports physical servers, we are able to use it. We are using it to send copies of our backups to our cloud for redundancy because it is so fast; our previous backup software was very slow sending backups to the cloud, making it useless for us. The granularity of being able to save SQL backups has really helped us, so we don't have to rely on SQL native backups.

  • Backup VMware virtual machines
  • Backup managed personal computers
  • Backup copy job on external or cloud datastore

I had a problem with one of the HOSTS servers, and it took a long time to restore using Native Windows Backup. When I switched to Veeam Backup & Replication, the speed of recovery surprised me, and also the reliability of the backup caught my attention. Today I use it daily for my VMS backups, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I've used competing for software, but Veeam's simplicity captivated me.
  • VMS backup.
  • Fast backup and restore.
  • Backup retention.
  • The software could be a little lighter on the machines resource uses.
I think it is suitable for everything, thought about information security, use Veeam!

We use Veeam as a VM backup solution. Its application has a relatively low learning curve and the simplicity of how things work is an excellent point. Backup and restore tasks, in addition to data integrity checks, provide the necessary support to the manager in the architecture of his solution and data security plan.
  • VM backup.
  • Data integrity verification.
  • Automated restore.
  • Managing available storage can be complex due to retention policy options.
In general, the user experience is excellent, as the system is very suggestive, which facilitates the architecture of a backup solution. Very good for those who already have experience with backup management and other information security solutions, but also a good choice for those starting out. Among the solutions of the type on the market, I believe that Veeam offers the best and most cost-effective.

Veeam Backup & Replication is a stable backup & recovery solution. The backups are relatively quick, and the restores work successfully. Veeam Backup & Replication is very easy to set up, use and maintain. It was able to successfully backup both a physical Windows Active Directory server and several VMware VM's and successfully restore as well. It works great with Windows Servers and Workstations, both physical and virtual. We were looking for a backup solution that is stable and works consistently. That would work great with VMware and also be installed as a VM.
Veeam Backup & Replication is priced to be comparable with competitive products such as Unitrends.
  • Has the ability to allow us to dive right into the SQL tables that were backed up
  • Has the ability to allow us to extract specific backed up emails
  • Every restore we have tried worked successfully
  • The setup of Veeam Backup & Replication was very easy, and we had it up and running quickly
  • The Deduplication ratio isn't as good as Unitrends. It takes between 20% -30% more than Unitrends backup.
Veeam Backup & Replication is great in a VMware environment as well for physical backups.
It works great with Windows Server & Windows Workstation.
It also works great with backing up NAS File Storage.
We have been very happy with how it works with SQL, Exchange & Active Directory.
We are thrilled that it does not need an appliance and runs as a VM.
Its backups are fast.

Do not expect great deduplication ratios, I'm hoping Veeam Backup & Replication will improve deduplication to reduce storage.
