Veeam Data Platform backups

Score 10 out of 10

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.

We use Veeam for our backup software for our credit union. This ensures we have data recovery and redundancy in our backups for our domain controller, file server, and overall network including all staff data.

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.

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 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>

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.

We had Tivoli backup solution prior to veeam which was completed tape based solution and once we started using veeam administrators task has been reduced a lot. We are using Nas devices to take backups and syncing it to different locations for fail over.So far the experience has been fab compare with Tivoli

We use Veeam Data Platform. We have a hybrid environment and Veeam allows us to own our infrastructure and be able to access it anywhere. This allows us to recover what we need and protect our environment.

We use Veeam to backup our entire organizations data that cannot be easily retrievable or restored otherwise. This includes shared files and documents, entire VMs of domain controllers and other servers and even a few various full computer images for machines that need to be set up in a very specific way. Not every employee in a non-profit industry such as this is incredibly tech savvy. Couple that with the fact that as a non-profit, we generally cannot afford to keep all of our technology on the cutting edge, sometimes things happen and files get lost, or deleted, or corrupted. Veeam has made it a breeze for me to restore those files, systems or virtual machines with the click of a couple of buttons. This saves potentially weeks or months of work being lost due to a small mistake or a large catastrophic failure. And with the replication feature, it's easy to save multiple copies of the backed up files, as well as keep multiple iterations of the backups going back a specific amount of time. This software has saved my life (and quite possibly my job) dozens of times over the years and I am extremely pleased at having made the decision to move to it when I did.

We use Veeam to backup our clustered hyper-v environment for both the township and the police department. With both instances we are setup to backup locally to the windows Veeam appliance located on-site and the appliance is set to replicate to a linux appliance setup off-site. The windows appliance is setup running hyper-v so that we can do restores for both testing backups, recovery and test updates. the linux appliance is configured with immutable backups for an extra layer of security.

A properly deployed Veeam environment is incredibly powerful. We use Veeam for backup, backup verification/testing (SureBackup), replication, and archival of our physical and virtual server workloads (as well as select critical workstations).
Veeam’s “bring your own hardware” approach allowed us to repurpose existing hardware during our transition to the product, and it’s wide range of supported hardware allowed us to gain features like direct-san without becoming vendor locked.

I've used Veeam for over 13 years. I was first introduced to it while working for an MSP to backup all of the virtual machines for ourselves and our customers. I had previously been used to a very popular tape-based backup software and I couldn't believe the difference in technologies. When I moved from an MSP into the role of an IT Manager, the first software I introduced was Veeam for the physical infrastructure and eventually the virtualised infrastructure. It's easy to use and extremely reliable, every update brings better stability a new features as opposed to introducing bugs and issues.

We use Veeam Data Platform for the Backup and Restore and Monitoring and Reporting pieces. We use it for Backups of our entire environment, modeling the 3-2-1 model. We use a Linux hardened repository with Immutability to protect from Ransomware. We have about 220 VMs we protect with our Veeam backup jobs and backup copy jobs. We maintain a 7-year retention. We will be moving the backup copy jobs to the cloud in 2024. We use the Monitoring and Reporting features to troubleshoot alarms and rightsize our systems.
