Scenarios where Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited:Virtual Machine Backup: Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited for organizations that rely on virtual machines (VMs) for their infrastructure. The product provides fast and reliable backup for VMs running in VMware or Hyper-V environments.

Scenarios where Veeam Backup & Replication is less appropriate:
Physical Server Backup: While Veeam Backup & Replication provides support for physical servers, it may not be the best solution for organizations that rely heavily on physical servers. In these cases, an alternative backup solution that specializes in physical server backup may be more appropriate.

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.

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.

In addition, Veeam's scalability ensures that the software will easily be able to meet your data backup requirements today and tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We used this application for the automatic VM snapshots and backups , its really exceptionally well in this area and it has reduced lot of painful job while restoring the manual backup from the application server and also it has reduced the downtime to the server with matter of few clicks you able to restore the virtual machine to the latest state. Automatic Network settings is not supported for non-windows VM, incase of needs then we need to manually specify network mapping settings and public ip rules, so it is hard that you should every time manually does this job if you are encrypt the VM's then replication of encrypted vm's to a cloud host is not supported. For cloud connect replication it does not support dhcp, your replicated VM should have the static IP's

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.
