The Backup Solution Of The Future!
We use Veeam Backup & Replication as part of our 3-2-1 backup plan. The ability to have an automated application backup our business's data essentially to any cloud provider or NAS has helped decrease our workload tremendously. Backing up any data, in general, can be a nightmare in the world of IT as you have to double, triple, and quadruple-check sometimes when you're moving files to and from hard drives. Yes, you can back up with Robocopy, but trust me it is not nearly as easy as Veeam Backup & Replication. With Robocopy, you need to set up parameters, check your CPU threads, as well as monitor transfers (like a hawk) for any hiccups/freezes. In Veeam Backup & Replication, you're basically done with a few clicks and it's set on a schedule.
- Office365 Backup for Outlook and Teams has been extremely useful in tracking down old deleted emails.
- Veeam Backup & Replication also does a great job at backing up our file servers remotely.
- It would be great if Veeam Backup & Replication could automate the creation of "Veeam users" for Office365

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

I love Veeam Backup & Replication!
Because we have troubles with manual backups and find it difficult to do manual backups and store copies of them in numerous storage locations, we have decided to use Veeam Backup & Replication. It is possible to schedule backups and configure different storage locations, such as local, network, or cloud storage, using Veeam Backup & Replication. It informs you when a backup is complete, and it's a breeze to manage backups.
- Automated backups of virtual machines at predetermined intervals with email notification of changes.
- The process of restoring a system from a backup is really straightforward.
- On addition to local and network backups, we can also store backups in the cloud.
- Disappointingly difficult to restore the backup on a fresh computer.
- Multiple copies of a backup are created in the same operation.
- Xen Server VM backups are not supported.
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 is the platform we use to back up all servers. We mostly have physical machines, while we have a few virtual Linux machines hosted through libvirtd. Linux virtual hosted environment libvirtd is supported within Veeam virtual servers, so it acts as a Linux physical server. Our environment is a mix of Windows and Linux servers.
- Linux backups.
- Scheduling.
- Rotated external drives.
- Reporting (excluding the separate product Veeam ONE).
- Understanding the backup process - seems overly complicated.
- capacity tier vs performance tier vs backup copy.

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

One of the great and essential piece of software
It is one of the best applications for creating and functionally storing backups. It is easy to use and has a great community behind it that supports everything. we have been using this for a while now and it is the one that has helped us in making sure our backups are in safe hands. support is also great and has helped us through everything with ease.
- Create quick and easy backups
- Recovers data with ease in an event
- Backing up the whole environment helps save a lot of time
- There is a sort of learning curve which can be challenging for new users
- I feel the price is also comparatively expensive
- There could also be some improvements in terms of displaying the data

Veeam a life saviour
We take backups using Veaam Backup and Replication console. Server-side backups as well as tape library backups, we are using this for tape library backups. The scope for my position as I am a database administrator and an SQL server administrator, the application-aware backups are very good as the Recovery point time could be minimized drastically.
- SQL Server Application Aware Backups.
- Sharepoint Backups.
- Mail backups.
- SQL Server backups.

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.

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 offers backup and replication features that fit the small company, as well as the larger installations.
I am the systems administrator for a critical department on campus. We back up our servers on a regular basis, and replicate them off-site. This is done on a daily 30-day retention.
- Scheduling of different functions separately
- Ease of setting up servers to be replicated or backed up
- The ability to live mount SQL databases from the archives or actual machines would be handy.

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.

The world of backups, all at your fingertips.
Veeam was used in replicating vSphere servers from the data center to location and reverse. This tool lets us use schedules after hours to utilize the best performance during the day for users and was very granular with settings we could configure. Though it was a bit manual on the setup at first, once you get it set, it's self-sustaining.
- Granular settings.
- Self sustaining.
- Intuitive portal.
- Training portal.

Out goto backup, recovery and testing solution
Veeam Backup & Replication has become our goto for backup and recovery. it's easy to use and extremely customizable. One of our favorite features is the ability to auto test restores so we can sleep well knowing our infrastrucutre is ready in the event of a bad day even that requires us to restore many of our systems.
- Consistent Daily backups
- Automate copy to offsite
- Immutable backup storage
- requires a little bit of upfront training to take advantage of all features

Average MSP version of Veeam setups
We have a few clients who use Veeam Backup & Replication for their Hyper-V environments. The client in question uses it to backup their primary business and financial information for clients who rely on them to provide accurate tax and accounting information.
- Data is moved to our offsite colocation for quick recovery should it be needed.
- Reporting of issues with backups could be better.
- The ability to see why a backup failed could be improved.

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
