Veeam is a great backup option
Using Veeam backup and replication addresses the lack of company wide backups including the backing up of important information such as servers that hosts sql databases and the company ERP systems. Veeam is also used at multiple locations and allows me to provide effortless backups to various desktops as well
- Provides backups of physical servers
- Provides protection of ransomware
- Ease of use
- Integrated online backup storage

The many ways our organization benefits from using Veeam
We use Veeam Backup & Replication to backup 15 vitual machines and to then copy those backups to an offsite SAN. These backups are shceduled daily. THe off-site backup runs nightly. This software ensures we aren;t left without options in the event of a Virtual machine failure. It's worked very well for our organization.
- Backup virtual machines
- Remote copies for VM backups
- Licensing is a bit confusing

Small Law Firms Review of Veeam Backup & Replication
We're a law practice with ever-expanding data sets to protect. Veeam Backup & Replication allows us to protect that data at a reasonable cost and complexity. It allows us to meet our RTO and RPO objectives and helps everyone sleep easier at night.
- Protects our data with nightly incremental backups
- Allows for quick restoral of data if needed
- Can create new 'full backups' from data sets without having to perform a full backup
- The interface is a bit clunky...I preferred it before they 'fisher priced' the interface
- Support can be problematic, as it takes a while to get someone to respond to a ticket; that MAY be related to Covid
- The cost has gone up considerably in recent years.
We use Veeam Backup & Replication to keep our company protected from data loss at all levels. Aside from just backing up and versioning, it's great for VM management tasks as well, i.e migrations and upgrades. The licenses for hypervisors to do live migration are very expensive. We use Veeam Backup & Replication in place of these licenses and it does a great job for us. So the savings alone on this aspect of our deployment makes the product a no-cost solution. The licensing for Veeam Backup & Replication is excellent and priced better than the competition in our experience. The universal license model is fair and priced well. I've used several disaster recovery products in the past and Veeam Backup & Replication is by far my favorite one. Veeam Backup & Replication is a little more in-depth to deploy than some other solutions, but the tradeoff is that it is extremely capable, flexible, and configurable for almost any scenario.
- Backup schedules are powerful and very tunable.
- Instant recovery of single files is awesome.
- Licensing model is set it and forget it.
- It should be easier to implement copying the entire backup repo to external storage on a schedule. This should include cloud services.

Great backup software.
I use Veeam Backup and Replication to ensure that there is at all times a secure back up of data within the company. I currently use the Veeam software on multiple servers, and although I have not had to use it yet, I feel I would have no issues restoring the data in a timely manner.
- Excellent customer support.
- Easy to navigate software.
- numerous backup options.
- I would like to see Veeam have its own online backup repository instead of relying on a 3rd party.

New Veeam Customer, Pleased and Impressed So Far.
Veeam has proven to be a fairly intuitive backup software that is much easier to use than some competing products. The software is user-friendly and is incredibly helpful in file recovery situations that require fast resolution. Our company replaced an outdated software with Veeam and are pleased with the results that we have seen even in just a few months we have been using their service.
- User-friendly.
- Fast file backup recovery.
- Dedicated support team.
- Faster support resolutions.

I love Veeam!
Backups are a necessary evil and for SMEs are often overlooked. A decent strategy and the necessary infrastructure are easy to overlook when there are more pressing concerns and are often only missed when it's too late. I've used a variety of backup applications over the years and they've generally been poor experiences causing headaches and frustration. Veeam is the first I've come across that is flexible, powerful, and - dare I say it - a pleasure to use. I use Veeam for a variety of types of backup (VMs, Office 365) on a variety of media (cloud, online, and tape) and even replication and It Just Works. Support, when I've needed it, has been quick, friendly, and efficient with the sense that the team loves their product as much as I do. There, I said it; I love a backup product! A first for me, and it may be for you too - why not try it? It's free - in perpetuity - for the limited use so you've really nothing to lose.
- Day to day backup with no hassle
- Copying online backups to tape
- Replication
- Support
- Copying backup to tape for archive
- Genuinely happy with what I've got!

We never backup alone!
Veeam is the software responsible for our ease of mind, we use it on all our sites for some years now and it is so solid and efficient that is the only infrastructure element that we do not lay a finger on, apart from updates, which we also blindly do due to the fact no issues were presented whatsoever, ever. We use it to backup all our infrastructure both locally and on remote site NASes daily, and in some cases for mission-critical services even every 10 minutes without even a glitch. Restores are a breeze and never had integrity issues. We use file level restore very often in both windows and Linux systems as well as email (exchange) and database level( not very often) The systems were tested in disaster recovery situations in order to restore servers in new hardware and hypervisor without any issues whatsoever. Even the community edition has no features cut (at least for our needs) except the VM number it can process. Overall great software and great support! Thank you VEEAM!
- Reliable and fast backup
- Portability and flexibility or restore options
- Great scalability
- Excelent stability
- Ability to run on the Linux platform

Why we use VEEAM Backup & Replication
We run a couple of Hyper-V machines and use VEEAM Backup & Replication Enterprise to do the Backups to disc and then to tape. We had s lot of machines with different desires, and we wanted a solution, that can handle them all at once. Now we moved some machines into the cloud and Veeam can also help here.
- Backup of Hyper-V machines
- Restore of single files from a VM
- Restore of a whole VM
- Not at the moment

Veeam Backup and Replication Review
We are backing up two VMware clusters (Linux and Windows) as well as a handful of standalone servers (Windows). We plan to add some important workstations with the remaining licenses, but that was not what prompted the purchase. The Veeam backups protect our servers and data with custom retention periods, backup jobs writing to multiple locations, and encryption protection.
- Easy to configure
- Good compression and use of storage space
- Strong support and documentation
- Reliable backups
- Licensing has changed to a subscription model instead of a purchase model
- Expensive
- Large downloads for updates

Veeam so you can sleep at night
This product solved a backup reliability issue for our company. The previous product was decent but prone to backups that would have "issues" and failures fairly often. This was increasingly frustrating and led to our shopping for something new. As we already use Veeam for backing up Microsoft 365, it made sense to evaluate and ultimately purchase the product.
- Reliable backups and restores
- Very fast speed
- File server backups don't replicate to the cloud without workarounds
Our primary vSphere/ESXi VM backup solution. Used to take daily snapshots of on-premises virtual machines via a dedicated server offsite. Backups are then copied to a service provider in another city. It covers our daily core system backup requirements and is configured in such a way that it can meet requirements for physical separation of the primary production infrastructure to the main backup repository, while still being performant. It's integration with 3rd parties via Cloud Connect also meets requirements for an additional tier of backups that is geographically separated from our home area. A new upcoming requirement is to cover virtual machines hosted in the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, which Veeam also supports.
- Virtual machine backup
- Application-specific item recovery
- Integration with MSPs
- Broad support for different backup targets
- AHV backup functionality is not equivalent to ESXi. It uses a different distinct console and is not compatible with some advanced features such as SureBackup.
- License renewal experience in the conversion between the legacy model and the new universal license has been very poor. We were forced to pay a significant fee to allow backups of AHV targets, but other than the change in hypervisor there was no improvement in functionality. In fact we have less since SureBackup is not supported with AHV workloads.
- Added tools to assist in hardening the server and isolating it from inside threats would be nice to have. Most of this needs to be manually worked through to ensure an internal compromise does not also impact your backups.

Veeam: Foundation of all Backup Plans
Veeam Backup & Replication is versatile, reliable, and robust. I wanted something that even the least experienced technician in our department could maintain and use if necessary, especially during the age of COVID-19, and Veeam fit the bill. Veeam Backup & Replication works with everything, is easy to set up, and has plenty of education and documentation material. It's the standard for a reason.
- Backup
- Recovery
- Replication
- Ease of Use
- Easy to Learn
- Better onboarding for new users
Veeam is used to back up my virtual machines running under VMware. I back up my entire enterprise with it and use it for backup and as a simple DR solution. I maintain local backups and offload them to Microsoft Azure as a cloud storage platform for the backups. I honestly do not face any challenges with the product, and it fully meets my needs and expectations.
- Backs up VM's quickly and efficiently.
- Excellent deduplication to reduce storage needs.
- Ability to automatically have local backups upload to the cloud automatically.
- Veeam really needs a single console/dashboard for Backup & Replication & M365 backup products.
- Better notification of updates/patches for Backup & replication.
Daily & Weekly VM backup to local and also replication to our DR site. We are also using Veeam to backup to tape certain jobs. The flexibility of Veeam to accomplish all of these tasks makes it a great product for us. We have appreciated being able to use one product for so many different functions. We've recently added server configs to a physical box, then Veeam backs those up to tape.
- Fast & easy recovery of files from local backups.
- Solid performance for local & replication to DR site.
- Great support from Veeam tech support.
- Calculating digest process is very time consuming on VM changes.
- Sometimes struggles with very large VM's.
- Cleanup of deleted VM's requires a few extra steps.

Veeam Backup & Replication - Exceptional backup
In our company, we use the Veeam Backup & Replication solution to backup all our production VMs. The Veeam Backup & Replication solution came to meet an open gap in terms of backup, which the company was outdated and with backups in an unsafe way, and it works. With Veeam Backup & Replication, we can backup VMs extremely quickly, with a centralized management console where we can quickly restore specific files, entire VMs, just volumes, etc., with robust control of stored backup versions.
- Incremental backup of Hyper-V VM's
- Restoring individual files from any existing restore point
- Replication of Hyper-V VMs between servers
- Possibility to replicate jobs and restore points to another Veeam console
- Possibility to add google drive as external repository

Veeam Can Help!
We have an infrastructure that is mostly virtualized on-premise with some AWS and Azure cloud with onsite and offsite backups including a mix of various Windows OS as well as Linux. We backup offsite to AWS and Backblaze and have to Azure as well in the past with great success.
- Ability to restore file level easily and quickly
- Vast knowledgebase to help with common errors or situations
- Very reliable backup solution
- Great support options
- Ability to call into support from all support tiers
- Scale computing support
- Cost is high
- Provide training videos to learn the product better
We use Veeam Backup & Replication to ensure our virtualized systems are backed up properly. In addition, we also provide 30-60 days of recovery storage in the event of loss, data theft, or the inevitable threat of actor apprehension of data or systems. Every business must decide what is most important when it comes to data, and ensure solutions are able to resolve any issues which could arise. Our specific use case involves multi-layer protection against threat actors, and Veeam Backup & Replication ensures we are able to recover in the event of ransomware or any other data loss within a 24-hour period of time.
- Process flow for backup or recovery of jobs
- Capability to easily configure history and retention models
- Security of backups using encryption, and data protection made easy
- Replication between datacenters using the same IP topology
- all in one licensing for backup & recovery, Office 365 and replication strategies

Veeam Backup & Replication better than you expect
We utilize Veeam Backup & Replication at our data center to take nightly backups of our servers without significant impact on the performance of the environment. We are able to take backups at our primary data center. We also securely send a copy to our DR site should we need to spin that up. All of this while being able to encrypt the backups. I also use the Veeam community edition to backup my personal devices with the same confidence and similar interface I am used to in our enterprise. Veeam Backup & Replication allows us to easily back up multiple TBs of data in less than our allowable window. With the built-in snapshotting feature, we don't have to be concerned with referencial integrity.
- GFS implementation
- Reporting
- Encryption
- Speed
- Referential integrity through snapshotting VMs
- Meet RTO
- Meet RPO
- Reliability
- Ease of file level restore
- File level restore to alternate location
- Realtime backup
We presently use Veeam Backup and Replication as our core backup solution for all servers including our Hyper-V environments. Previously the backup solutions in place were either poor or unreliable. Veeam Backup and Replication has easily filled this gap with an easy to implement and use system that is very reliable - not only for small restorations, but through to complete virtual environment restorations.
- Restorations are extremely easy and work first go.
- Adding in additional systems for backup with extremely easy.
- Implementation is a piece of cake!
- It is somewhat resource hungry so requires more hardware to get up and running.
- It is a bit clunky on slower systems - in that some windows appear slowly, etc.
- Further explanation of things within the software would be beneficial.

Pawel
We use Veeam Backup & Replication as our main backup solution for the virtualization environment. Even though the community edition comes with only 10 free licenses, we "extend" it using the VeemZip technology combined with PowerShell to support 16 VM or more.
- Easy configuration and maintenance
- Combine VeeamZip with Powershell to extend funcionality
- Easy integration with backup repositories
- Encryption of backup
- Possibility to send backup to secondary backup repository
- Possibility to install on open source OS, ie. Linux.
- Maintenance through web interface.

Veeam Backup and Replication solved all my problems.
Our business had a horrible backup solution in place. As we are a multinational company and many resources are located at the main office, the storage and network could not experience considerable slowdowns during large backups. Due to this, we were forced to choose a smaller subset of data to back up. With VEEAM, incremental takes minutes and the full backups do not even get noticed. The recovery options, retention options, Scale-Out options to automatically upload to offsite sources ... everything is top-notch.
- Non intrusive backups.
- Great retention/scale-out options.
- Simple and fast recovery, from full VM to single files.
- More details and direction in any error messages.
- A more stern warning when shutting down that a backup is in progress.

Veeam Backup & Replication is worth it!
Veeam Backup & Replication is being used to backup all the virtual servers in the organization. It allows us to get a full image of the server, meaning we can restore the entire server in a few hours if needed.
- Image Backups. Veeam is more reliable than all our previous vendors that supported image backups.
- Copy to Cloud. Veeam has a built-in ability to copy backups to the cloud and it works really well.
- Restoring files. Restoring files is really easy, and it also has the ability to automatically spin up VMs from their backups and test to make sure they boot successfully.
- Copy to USB/Offsite. It works differently than all other programs in that it keeps a specific number of restore points instead of just copying the current backup files and is basically a new chain of backup files.
- SQL Authentication. It works well, but only allows specifying 1 account for authentication even though SQL servers may have multiple databases each with separate authentication.

Veeam could save my day and yours!!
The business unable to afford long downtime when there an outage happens to the server. To have offsite vm replica with multiple copies. In order to have server up and running in a very short period, we implement Veaam Backup & Replication to ensure the vm can be powered on in less time when the issue occurs on the original vm.
- Replicate vm to offsite
- Keep vm with retention period of each vm snapshot
- Send alert for success and fail replicate job
- The use of proxy seems not smart enough
- Vm restore can be more intuitive
- Vm replicate fail if no repository
