Needs Assesment

Needs Assesment

The cloud based backup we had - failed to recover a LOT of data on a physical server where we had a RAID die. I was tasked with replacing it with something that would work.

Cloud Capabilities

We aren't currently utilizing cloud workloads (only backup storage), but it is something I'm looking into for 2023 or 2024. I'm glad that the solution we have already supports it.

Needs Assesment

Veeam has always been my go-to backup solution. I have used this so long that other solution seems antiquated. Cost for Veeam has seem to be the best suited for my company.

Cloud Capabilities

In my 13 years of using Veeam, I still have not found cloud backup has been feasible. The cost of cloud backup and replication has not been high on a cost perspective.

NAS Backup

We are currently have a 3rd back up of our VMs and file to a NAS. It just gives us a better comfort level that our environment is backed up.

We have more than 15 virtual servers and more than 70PCs protected by Veeam Backup. It's lot more than I anticipated when I acquired the product.

Needs Assesment

We are protecting 85 servers. We have had well over 100 at times, but I think that we knew going in that the number would go down. Now, we are seeing the numbers go back up. Being that we can adjust the resources of servers and set a back-up rotation that suits our needs, we are more prone to …

Needs Assesment

We used tapes and bacupexec before Veeam. We had a lot more hardware before Veeam. We are thrilled that we are no longer on tape. We are also pretty happy that the hard disk costs have gone down as well as the development of solid state drives. Veeam handles solid state drives well.

Before Veeam Backup & Replication, it took a long time to find and resolve issues related to backups.

Cloud Capabilities

We have not used many of the cloud backup facilities of the software, but we are planning to utilise them in the future with Azure VM.
We did plan to implement Office 365 backup back in the day, but I am unsure if that was completed.
Overall I do believe when the company moves over to Cloud VMs, …

The interface is counter-intuitive and clunky. Once things are setup, however, it's pretty decent.

Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.

If you are familiar with most Windows software UIs, there should be no issue learning Veeam. Even better if you're already familiar with backup strategies, &c., since all of that is integrated and possible. I doubt my grandmother could use it, but she's not the target audience. If you've been in IT for a bit, this is very usable.
