I manage the infrastructure for a multi-location construction company. We use the Veeam Data Platform Backup and Replication software to backup our onsite point of sale and file share servers and high importance user machines to a centralized data server at our main office. The backed up data is then backed up again to an offsite server. We prefer to have an onsite solution and access to our backups for instances where the internet is not available. It can also be quicker to access this data locally than it would be to download it all from a cloud repository. When it comes to restoring a machine, Veeam Data Platform makes it easy and saves my department a ton of time. Also, the ability to pull only selected files is incredible, especially when users accidentally change, move, or delete files on the public file share.

We have been using Veeam Data Platform as part of our backup strategy. In our Datacenter, we have physical and virtual environments where our main applications running are hosted. We use Veeam Backup and Replication as our main backup solution for those environments and we also use it to backup our Microsoft O365 data .

We use Veeam for both on-site and off-site backups of our entire in-house VMWare environment data center. We have Veeam scheduled to back up our database servers every 10 minutes and several of our more important VMs every 2 hours. We also have a "daily backup" that gets all VMs each night. On top of these, we have a continuous backup running to an off-site location through a site-to-site VPN tunnel. Veeam support was fantastic in helping with some of the issues we encountered when setting things up initially. By using Veeam, we have saved dramatically on our IT spend: 1) After replacing our datacenter SAN and hosts, we were able to add some drives to re-use our old hosts as both on-site and off-site backup servers. 2) Doing this with Veeam allowed us to eliminate managed service and cloud hosting costs we had paid for years and instead implement our own off-site storage 3) I am now able to manage and prioritize backups, expedite restoring files or VMs when needed, and have greatly improved visibility into our backup environment.

We currently use Veeam as our back-up software. With the continuing updates, this software has allowed us to make direct connections to various cloud storage vendors, hence, allowing us the security of off-site backups. We feel that with the automation and granularity of this software we can create various types of backups and schedule them oat various times. The restoration process is also very simple to follow. Lastly, the customer support is fantastic. With the embedded ability to create log files and push them to support, resolutions are performed very quickly.

The primary use of Veeam is to back up our entire domain infrastructure. We encountered one minor issue with the Sure Backup feature. The implementation and configuration were not set properly. As for the recovery application, this product is amazing. The ability to back up VM and restore as a File Level Restore (FLR) was awesome. Made recovery and restore processes very quick and simple.

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.

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.

Veeam is used to back up all our VMs and physical hosts; we also use it for replication, offsite backups, and DR testing. Before, it would require lots of manual work, but Veeam is fully automated and has very little user input. We also use Veeam to move VMs between data stores and hosts etc., without the need to have additional licensing with VMware.

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.

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.

We needed a backup solution that we could trust to do the basics well. We needed SQL databases backed up consistently. We needed AD and other services, mainly file services, backed up as well. And we needed servers which are running the company applications to be backed up as one might expect.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
