Veeam Changed my Life
My license of Veeam [Backup & Replication] is used exclusively in our US office. It is being used by my department only. We use this product to backup all of our Test and Development machines. Since we do a lot of testing and development so it is nice to have Veeam [Backup & Replication] in the picture as mistakes happen and we can quickly restore any of these these Virtual Machines in case of an error that may be to hard to recover from in the development process. It is also an excellent tool to use for Archive. The compression and speed of the backup processes are very exceptional.
- Backup of a Virtual Machine is fast, Restores are fast as well.
- Flexibility of storage Media
- Compression of data is great to minimize backup storage cost
- Product stability and ease of use.
- I do not have anything to complain about.

My Veeam Backup & Replication Review
[Veeam Backup & Replication] is used by the IT department. It provides protection against data loss and business continuity in the event that the main data center fails.
- Reverse incremental backups - means that the most recent backup is always the full one so restores are quicker.
- Replication to 2nd cluster - really easy to setup and arrange. Works every time.
- Backup encryption. Keeps the backups secure in case of intrusion.
- Speed - it is not always the fastest and one slow job can throw out the schedules for all other jobs.
- There's no intelligent scheduling option. I would like to be able to schedule an order and have veeam back up all the vms in that order, taking account of their particular requirements (e.g. exchange aware etc). At the moment you have to create different jobs for each type of backup and "guess" how long it will take.
- Backup is limited in destinations in my experience.

Veeam is essential also in essential licence
We use Veeam Backup & Replication in [our] IT department [to] backup critical data, entire virtual machine infrastructure and some windows server with Veeam's agent.
With Veeam Backup & Replication we are able to backup on tape library for a more [securing] of our [data] backup.
- Backup easily but exhaustively of virtual infrastructure
- Replica of vm to another host
- Backup on tape
- Backup to tape could be improved
- Possibility to use only one tape library with more than one Veeam installation (sharing tape library)
- Adding failover / clustering function

Using Veeam Backup for more then over a decade!
As a started my career as an engineer in 2009, we started using Veeeam Backup version 3! Today, in 2021, we are still using Veeam Backup as our one-and-only backup solution. We have already virtualized our complete backend in 2009. Meanwhile, our backend (>750 Virtual Servers) is protected by a daily backup using the latest version of Veeam Backup and Replication. We are using Dell-EMC Datadomain as a backup target. DDBoost makes it possible to create a 'full' backup every day.
- Veeam Backup was originally created for backing up the virtual environment. This makes Veeam Backup unique compared to other backup competitors.
- Instant Restore is really cool feature that allows you to instantly run a virtual machine from your backup. Restoring the server comes second. Firstly you want to bring the virtual machine back into production.
- The last 10 years they kept developing their product. Their focus is and was build on virtual environments.

Veeam: What else!
Veeam is used for backup of essential VM. Recovery is as easy as boiling an egg. For quick recovery, we use VM copy. It allows us to start a VM to yesterday's state after a crash. Recovery of files in a VM is done with a file explorer like interface. Same for SQL recovery. Simple interface, easy to use.
- Instant VM recovery. If on a disk, VM is restored instantly.
- Explorer like restore makes it easier.
- VM copy to different data stores in different locations in case of disaster.
- VMWare GUI integration.

Veeam just works!
We use Veeam [Backup & Replication] for local backups of DC and File servers. This product works great for being hands off, reliable and trustworthy.
- Easy setup
- Intuitive application
- Reliable software
- Software loads very slow

Whoa! Backup!!!
We use [Veeam] Backup & Replication as a department, but backing up organization data as a whole.
This solves the need to store physical backups. We used to have physical tape drives that we would have to send off to Recall. With the pandemic, going into the office was not allowed.

- Restoring backups are very simple and the GUI is well thought out.
- Great support and user community
- The Scale Out Repository setup could be simplified or more intuitive.

It just works
Use Veeam [Backup & Replication] to backup 2 sites worth of VMs and replicate to DR site which is off site.
Currently all backups are done using Veeam [Backup & Replication] along with all restores.

Veeam Backup & Replication--it just works!
We utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for all of our customer-focused applications in multiple locations, including two colocations in diverse locations. It has successfully allowed us to build backup and recovery redundancy in order to ensure our apps continue to run and process customer data with appropriate security.
- Windows library structures are easily identified for restoration
- Restores, in general, are easy to do
- Replication of data structures to other servers
- Better method to back up desktop and laptops
- Improvement of deduping methods
- Better error descriptions for troubleshooting
December 30, 2020
Great software, it's flexible to do the Jobs you need.
We use it over the entire company. It is our backup and replication solution. We backup locally and send that to a secondary site. We also replicate VM images to our Recovery cluster. Testing of this has always gone very well and other than some DNS work is flawless. Great product that takes care of what you need for backup and recovery in a disaster.
- restore of individual files
- total restore of Virtual machines
- replication of VM's to secondary site
- integration with AD
- DNS update on the fly
- Machine rename to replace missing machines

Veeam, in my 5 years
We back up our production (primary infrastructure) hive via Veeam BR to a FreeNAS device. Some of these are virtual, done via vceneter tagging, the rest are physical, done via agents. We then copy the backup to another FreaNAS offsite.
- File Level Restoring
- RPO based tag reading across vcenter
- SQL truncation
- Better interoperability with AWS tiers
- Better design for the UI or description - currently too difficult to guess what does what
- Can be very error prone even if a little scheduling conflict takes place
December 25, 2020
Veeam is great!!!
We use [Veeam Backup & Replication] as a backup system for our entire infrastructure. It ensures we have adequate back ups of all major systems.
- Ease of setup and running
- Ease of backup recovery
- Continuing to improve on capability
- Very intuitive interface
- Removing old entries/resources easier
December 23, 2020
Veeam Backup and Recovery is fast, easy, and it just works without much interaction.
We are using Veeam to backup data and also replicate the backups as a copy to our data center and vice versa for disaster recovery. Instant VM recovery and also file explorer based recovery to meet our SLA goal of recovery in minutes or at least less than 24 hours.Backup of Hyper-V VM's and physical backup of some desktops with endpoint backup.
- Application aware backup
- Instant VM recovery
- Fast backup
- DR recovery and replication
- Portable backups that are taken offline for a long period have a hard time to re-sync backup and just fail
December 22, 2020
I would highly recommend Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is used across the entire organization to back up all company data and send it to our DR site.
- Veeam Backup & Replication explorers allow for instant file browsing and recovery
- Integrates seamlessly with vCenter and SAN
- Backups are contained within their own job folder structure
- Error reporting--Warnings should be optionally suppressible; some warnings I would class as more informational than actual warnings (Backup copy jobs exceeding interval times, for example)
- Stopping a job can sometimes take longer than expected
- Removing temporary snapshots can be very slow

Veeam Backup & Replication, still the best after 10+ years
Veeam B&R is being used to back up all virtual machines across all global offices and replicate the data offsite. It's also being used to back up physical workloads. Combined with HPE Storeonce appliances we achieve high levels of deduplication and can have lengthy retention policies without the needs of lots of disk. It's simple to set up and maintain and has all the granular recovery features that we need.
- Consistant fast backups.
- Robust backup files that are portable and don't need the original backup server to restore.
- Simplicity of setup and restoring files.
- Versatility of working with different types and tiers of storage.
- When using HPE catalyst the displayed values of backed up data and transferred data is erroneous.
- Quick restore of changed blocks only doesn't work well on application servers.

Veeam Community Edition Review - Non-profit
It is being used to back up our VMware guest servers by utilizing VeeamZIP Powershell/CLI commands. I have several scripts that I use to run at certain times to backup our VMware guest servers. <br><br>I have two backup jobs setup for our larger servers (file server and an app server), one of which is backed up to a separate NAS device than on the SAN where all the other servers backup to.<br><br>I have to say it's either our environment or the product that sometimes seems to be slow when it comes to initial/first full backup, especially when dealing with 1TB or more of data.<br><br>The online documentation and resources are very well put together, but perhaps more documentation specifically for the Community Edition would be appreciated.<br><br>The business problem it solves is just my own time dealing with the system and any possible issues of restoring user's data or server restore. I entered the role and they were using Dell Appassure and it was an old system and not very good. It was slow, confusing, and outdated. I decided to switch over to Veeam and it is so much easier to use and straight forward, at least for our environment. I have not had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to restore files or servers, just straight forward.
- Intuitive
- Once set up it just works
- Easy use when needing to restore servers/files
- Better interface
- I have some confusion when running updates/upgrades on the Veeam software as the wording is ambiguous
- It may be slow, or it may be our network that is slow, unsure

Veeam B&R for a small company.
I use Veeam to backup our important VM's both on site and off site to VTDs. It gives me that peace of mind knowing that I could spin my environment up on new hardware quickly in the event of a disaster.
- Easily backup and restore VM's.
- Schedule recurring backups with retention policies.
- Integration with AWS and VTD support.
- Auto Ejecting VTD's sometimes gets stuck and requires a manual kick.
- Web UI feature on backup & replication.
- Better remote monitoring.

Vetted Review
Verified User
We implemented Veeam B&R to replace several disparate backup solutions. Veeam is able to back up virtual servers (image level), files, and application-level (SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle) plus perform DR replication to a secondary site with a single product and is saving us $40,000 per year on software maintenance.
- User interface is very good. Coming from Tivoli Storage Manager, this is a huge upgrade.
- Scalability (proxy servers) and integration with deduplication appliances. Adding proxy servers for performance is a snap and requires no additional licensing.
- Ease of restores of application data (SQL, SharePoint and Exchange). Very intuitive (except SharePoint, which is not intuitive anyway...).
- It would be awesome if B&R could combine with the O365 product for a single management point.

Veeam is dead simple, super fast, and makes our lives easier
We began using Veeam shortly after our existing backup software was due for renewal. Our network team was having some issues with the existing software that affected product backups, restores, and replication. So since we were moving mostly to VM's we decided to look at Veeam's VM backup solution.
- Easy to use for admins and helpdesk techs alike.
- Great solution for quickly restoring file share files.
- Speedier backups and restores than before.
- Cost is high but you get a premium product.
- Easier patching process/upgrades.
- More advanced admin options.

Perfect backup tool for most VM customers!
Our entire information technology stack uses Veeam Backup & Replication for a variety of uses. Mainly for backups of course, but also for its fast and simple replication process. This basically gives us a copy of our data center at a remote location. We do also use it for restores and testing them.
- Great and solid product and features
- Easy to use all around
- Faster than competing tools
- Could use more detailed setup instructions
- Faster response from support
- Less downtime when patching certain pieces

Blew us away with its easy interface and fast performance.
Wherever we can possibly replace a current or older backup product in our environment we do so with Veeam. It has a plethora of features and we intend to use all that we can. Mostly because it just works, and works fast, but also because we bought the premium license and want to get our money's worth!
- Very cybersecurity focused
- Large feature set (backups, cloud, restores, file share)
- Easy group of people to work with during setup
- More low-level backup access would be great.
- Easy to find answers without having to call support
- More backup data tier levels available
We have been using Veeam across the whole organization to support the backup of virtual machines and prepare the Disaster Recovery scenario with the Veeam ability to send the backups to the cloud. We have prepared a Disaster Recovery in Microsoft Azure using our daily backups, send then to the Azure and use the backups to restore the VMware virtual machines in Azure virtual machines. Works like we expected and now we are using it for the backup for C-level users' desktops and laptops.
- Easy to deploy and to use.
- File Level Restore is super fast and easy to use.
- The ability to send our backups to the cloud and use then to Disaster Recovery.
- Easy to recovery desktops and laptops for key users super fast.
- Integration with VMware and Azure is very good.
- A virtual appliance with pre-configured options will be good.
- Protection for MacOS.

Speed, security, and features are all stand out areas with Veeam
After having a terrible time demoing a handful of new backup solutions we ended up taking a suggestion from a rep to test our Veeam Backup and Replication. After just a couple weeks we knew it was the one. It addresses our need for a new solution after our existing solution was out of support and needing to be updated.
- The replication component is much faster than our old system.
- Backups are quick, secure, and easily tested against.
- Specific app explorer reads backups easily.
- A great value, but a higher end price tag.
- More frequent feature updates.
- More advanced features.

Fantastic and solid solution for all your backup needs
Veeam Backup & Replication is being used by our organization as a way to keep our VMs, physical, and cloud servers safe and sound. It solves many problems including back or failed backups, slow backups, and tough restore resting. All that is no longer a problem for us and backups are running smoothly.
- Amazing automated testing of backups
- Fast VM restores
- Easier to use than competing products
- A bit costlier than expected
- Support case response time
- More regular feature updates
