Veeam - A powerful tool so you don't have to be
Here we use Veeam to give us a powerful backup solution. We utilize an on-premises solution and also have Azure backups through Veeam. This product is quite amazing and allows you to have peace of mind within your organization. I have roughly 30 something VM's that are backed up nightly and never have issues with this product. I came from a few other environments where I had hundreds of VM's and multiple locations all with Veeam. It was fun to learn and see how it scales at that size. I'm fairly confident that this product can scale to any size company with great efficiency. I even use it at home in my own lab environment and it works amazing there as well. Granted I have expensive hardware tossed at it, but either way, this is one awesome product. Recommend to everyone in need of a backup solution. If you are broke, they have a community edition you can use for 10 machines at the least! Couldn't ask for a better product.
- Scales to any size environment.
- Works with almost any network or cloud device.
- Allows many levels of automation.
- Gives an organization peace of mind that their stuff works.
- Amazing customer support.
- Crushes every product out there for backups. There IS nothing better.
- Sometimes different backup methods using different tiers can be challenging. Typically have to work with support on that as the documentation is pretty good, but it's also too much at times. I think they'd do better if they did more visual examples. It's their product, they'd benefit.
- Every now and then it doesn't clean snapshots from VMware and then keeps creating them until you can't anymore. I would highly suggest they work right with VMware to fix that. Been a problem for long enough.
- The last area Veeam can improve is being able to cook and clean for me. If Veeam could do that, I surely wouldn't need to waste my money on an expensive wife and kids.. Those things are overrated anyway, all they do is eat your food and complain. Veeam could definitely beat that if it made food, just sayin..

Veeam Backup and Replication - The best tool for Backup of digital infrastructure.
We use Veeam Backup and Replication for the obvious reason of backups. We have a lot of self-hosted virtual machines on an ESXI hypervisor that need to be backed up. Veeam does this job perfectly, and it has never been easier to do a file level restore for the end user or have the ability to restore an entire VM at a glance. The migration feature is extremely handy and made it very easy for us to migrate VMs from an old and outdated ESXI host to a new host. This process is not supported by VMware; a VM migration with Veam Backup and Replication made it extremely easy for us.
- Backup of VMs.
- Replication of VMs.
- FIle Base Restore.
- Migration of VMs.
- There is nothing I do miss in Veeam.
- There might be room for improvement of self-hosted appliances.
- More support for hybrid environments.

Using Veeam on Azure.
We use the Veeam Data Platform for data protection and management of data solutions. We use it for normal processes such as data backup, recovery, and replication along with backup security and data observability. We have never had any issues with the product and use on a weekly basis. It's a little costly but you get what you pay for.
- It is fast.
- Dashboard is easy to use.
- Our outside Helpdesk can log into it and work on it for us.
- Price is a little high.
- We get a lot of email from them.

We love Veeam Data Platform!
We use Veeam Data Platform and the free version of O365 to backup all of our physical and Hyper-V servers. We also replicate between sites for DR. We archive backups at each site for addition gap protections against ransomware etc. Exchange backups are also a part of the deployment.
- Whole server image backups
- Exchange granular backups
- Site repliction for DR
- Make image management a little easier to manage

Veeam, backup and replication made easy
We use Veeam backup and replication as our primary backup method for our on prem vmware cluster, easier to set up and manage. We have had to rely on Veeam several times for DR efforts and have not had an issue yet.
- Backup and restore
- DR replication
- UI
- Ability to run on Linux would be nice

Veeam B&R - Solid all around product.
Veeam provides peace of mind by backing up and solidifying our environment to protect against ransomware, user error, hardware failure, and natural disaster. Veeam takes my data and with the use of hardened repositories/offsite repositories, keeps our environment protected against anything and everything. I also use veeam weekly to restore files from users deleting things they shouldnt have, or did by accident. The product is easy to use and easy to manage.
- Restores made easy
- scalable storage including immutable
- Easy GFS backup options
- Easily manage vmware workloads
- Recommended gfs options to get someone new off the ground

Veeam is cost effective and simple to manage
Veeam is used to backup our critical production line workstations and both physical and virtual servers. We utilize the application aware processing for multiple Microsoft SQL databases that affords us granular restore ability for row and table data in 5 minute increments. This is vital for us as our production lines are high speed and a disruption that necessitates a restore from hours in the past is not acceptable.
- We have successfully restored table data within Microsoft SQL multiple times. The restores are extremely fast, and our entry-level systems administrators are able to action the requests.
- Veeam application updates and upgrades are very east to apply.
- Backups are efficient and fast, which has lowered our backup time windows.
- The storage tiering can be confusing to setup and maintain. The settings windows for this have not changed in years and seem outdated. An overhaul of the interface would be welcome.

Veeam Data Platform Is A Life Saver
We are using the Veeam Data Platform to provide both bare metal and data backups for all of our mission critical servers. The business problems that are addressed for us is disaster recovery for our servers. Due to the nature of the industry we work in and provide services for, we cannot afford any lengthy amount of downtime rebuilding criticial infrastructure servers should anything happen to them. With the Veeam Data Platform, we are able to quickly restore servers as needed without overly long outages.
- Intuitive UI that's easy to follow
- Efficient backup/restore features
- Notifications of job success/failure
- I'm overall satisfied with the product, can't think of any improvements.
September 12, 2023
Veeam Backup and Restore is all you need.
We use it for backing up Network Data and accounts. We have users that often need Data restored quickly and efficiently and Veeam has been the best software to do it since we have been using it.
- Backup Recovery of exchange
- Backup Recovery of AD
- Backup Recovery of or VM's
- Better compression of the backups
- The backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved

Reliable Backup That Works
Veeam is a great backup solution for our environment. It is used to run used for monthly backups and also for reverse incremental backs throughout the weekdays to allow for quick and easy recovery. With each backup we then put it onto tape and move the data off site for a more secure and long term solution. Veeam allows us to manage all of this in one simple location.
- User friendly
- Automation to save data
- Tape management
- Simple data recovery
- Pricing for cloud backup
September 12, 2023
Veeam is the best!
We use this to backup our virtual servers in vCenter. We also have the backups replicate to the cloud and to external HDD. Veeam has always worked very well for me, it's simple to setup and use yourself. Their support is very good and will get back to you quickly if you have an issue. It's much less expensive than Barracuda and is way more user friendly.
- Low cost, easy renewal
- User friendly
- Upgrades to vCenter tend to mess my backup data and jobs up. The ability to link a VM in the old vCenter to the same VM in the new vCenter.

Veeam Data Platform backups
It has given us an easy to operate and maintain backup system that allows us to backup both virtual machines as well as physical servers. Since it has the ability to be disk based instead of direct to tape it has allowed us to backup our entire infrastructure faster than was possible with just using a tape system. With this speed increase we are also able to provide an hourly backup on some of our critical systems. Also with the "Instant Recovery" it allows us to get a VM with an issue back up and running as fast as possible.
- Instant recovery helped us migrate VM's off VMware to HyperV. We know we can go the other way if needed.
- Instant recovery allows restores of machines faster than previously possible with older versions of Veeam Data Platform.
- Backup to disk allows faster backup times allowing critical systems to also be on an hourly backup schedule.
- Would be nice if the linux bits did not complain as much about wanting to be immutable.
- Would be nice to have a backup method for the main backup server to be able to restore from a data location like any other machine.
- It would be nice if things would be a little more integrated into one client vs. having a client for backup, client for veeam one, enterprise manager, etc.

Veeam Data Platform is great, can't complain

- restoring VMs
- restoring individual files from full VM backups
- restoring AD objects
- overall view of retention
- error details from within the dashboard rather than logs
September 12, 2023

Veeam - the only backup solution your company needs.
We use Veeam as a backup solution for our environment and solves the problem of having to manually backup dozens our servers. Veeam has an intuitive interface and backup is simple and effective.
- Veeam has an intuitive interface and makes backup extremely easy.
- Ransomware protection is excellent.
- Backups are fast and efficient.
- Licensing could be done differently. We preferred the perpetual license as it allows for one time purchase instead of annual payments.

Veeam is a great backup solution
Veeam is used to back up all of our Physical and Virtual Servers both to removable disk and cloud storage.
- Unattended backup of both Physical and Virtual machines on a full - incremental schedule
- Copied backups to cloud storage
- Easy to restore whole machines and individual files.
- Sometimes old restore points don't automatically delete so disk space can run low

Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Veeam Backup is very stable and reliable. Veeam provides information about updates, innovations, training courses, etc., and the support is fast and effective. I didn't have any problems with updates, if an update brought a performance loss, this was fixed very quickly with a patch (from v11 to v12). The tape support works without any problems, I never had a problem with test restore from tape, the restored files are always error-free. The performance when writing and reading is top. The condition is intuitive and requires little training. For backing up computers outside the domain, I use “Veeam Agent for Windows” with USB hard drives, which I also recommend for private computers. In general, I am very satisfied with Veeam, use it in the systems I administer and am happy to recommend it.
- Full backup, backup to tape.
- Recover deleted files.
- Recovery of SQL or Exchange objects.
- Possibility to hide unused options.
We use Veeam as one component of our backup and disaster recovery strategy. Veeam is used to perform daily (and sometimes, depending on the application, hourly) backups of our Virtual Machines as well as several bare-metal servers. We transitioned over from BackupExec as we moved to a more virtualized environment with more data. Veeam allows us to have our data ready to spin up at a moment's notice, as well as provide the ability to store backups on another form of media which we can take offsite, in addition to the live backups. We experienced a ransomware attack several years ago, and Veeam helped us get back to business quickly and without too many headaches. The product works as advertised and doesn't require specialized hardware, although specialized hardware is able to run it. We currently only back up Windows VMs and bare-metal servers, but is also expandable to backup everything from Salesforce to Microsoft 365.
- Veeam effectively and successfully backs up and restores VMs and physical servers
- The Veeam interface is extremely easy to use and understand
- Rolling out Veeam to virtualized and bare-metal servers is easy to accomplish
- Restores of files or entire VMs is easy to accomplish
- Immutable Storage / Hardened Repository helps protect against ransomware
- More options for cloud storage providers

- Let me know when issues are detected so I can verify the issues.

Veeam Data Platform for better data protection and management
Veeam provides the following interesting features that every IT professional faces:<br>1. Disk and tape Backup for both physical and virtual environment.<br>It provides image or application awareness level backup. We use both of Veeam for daily and full synthetic monthly disk backup(GFS) in StoreOne and then save to monthly tape backup. Data size is about 50TB with GFS to save lots of storage space. It is quick and safe. However, physical server backup costs lot because each 500GB disk space will consume one Veeam license. So it is really good for virtualization environment. <br>2. Quick migration during data center relocation.<br>We used to migrate 100TB of virtual machines between data centers without any issues. Suggest to have more Veeam servers for better performance. <br>3. Replication data if you don't use SAN block level replication.<br>3PAR StoreServ storages were used for remote copy group replication. So Veeam replication did not use for our bank but it worked. <br>
- Seven-year data retention
- GFS backup to save space
- Encryption backup
- Quick restore
- It does not protect as many apps as other does
- Agentless for physical server as physical backup is not working well
- Higher price
- After 2020, Technical support response time gets slower
- Clone function is plus

Survey Review of Veeam
We use Veeam for backing up all of our on site servers. The biggest reason for these backups is to have a fail safe from possible attacks or potential hardware failure. We also utilize Wasabi as a cloud based backup solution in case something were to happen with our backups saved on site.
- Immutable Storage for on site Backups
- Easy integration with Cloud based storage such as Wasabi
- Test Restores to ensure the backup process is working.
- Veeam could have their own cloud backup solution.
