Veeam Data Platform serves our need for maintaining backups of our systems and facilitating the recovery of those systems should a Disaster Recovery situation arise. The wide variety of recovery options allows us to recover full systems down to individual files that a user accidentally deletes or becomes corrupted.

I think Veeam Data Platform is awesome for Virtual Server Backups, Physical Server backups and also MS o365 backups. Veeam Data Platform helps us move servers from virtual hosts, restore files, whole Virtual Machines reliably and quickly. Instant Virtual Server restore is a life saver when a windows patch prevents a system booting, or some software upgrade goes very wrong (and you didn't snapshot a vm in VmWare). We also use vCenter essentials, so we do not have live migrations; Veeam Data Platform definitely helps us here by allowing us to move servers around. We also started using Veeam o365 backup for more than just our sharepoint repositories. Now that we finally moved to hosted o365 email we can back that up as well with Veeam Data Platform. We also added in a rotating backup for offline backups as a just in case last resort restore option. It was simple for us to just add the offline rotating backup to our backup plan.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition for testing purposes. We have VMware and Hyper-V servers and create tasks for backing up virtual machines hosted on those servers. We are doing this for 5 VMs and monitor the time it takes to backup, then we restore them and check them to see if the software works as expected; and it does.

The use of Veeam Software is mostly for the backup of bare servers and workstations, with the possibility for versioning and the use of deduplication.
It's very simply to use and the most import part is that the recovery works

We use Veeam Data Platform to help us with our backup and security strategies. With recent updates and new features like immutability backups, Veeam Data Platform is not just a backup application. Still, it is a security application that helps us maintain our data and infrastructure safe against threats and malicious agents.

Besides normal server backups, one of the most useful aspects of Veeam is the ability to use the prior server as backup hardware. Replication jobs ensure a working copy of the server. This in conjunction with the backup files being off-sited to our location, we have a complete BDR solution.

The lifecycle goes like this. When a server is replaced with new hardware, the old hardware becomes the backup. Seeing as we HAAS most of our clients hardware, we benefit from much longer hardware lifespans.

We are using it in school for education. We are using it to learn it on a productive system to understand the software better. When we learned enough to take the next step we can try to get e certificate for Veeam too. I really like the software so far.

It is our main backup and recovery system. We backup 17+ VMWare servers in whole every day and they are stored on local disk, copied to a 16-tape autoloading tape system, and then copied to a hosted off-site internet storage vendor. All of it done automatically with minor interaction needed unless there is an issue.

I am used to backup 10 Virtual Machines on Hyper V to an external HDD. Backup runs each afternoon. Very easy to set up and configure. The only downside is the RAM requirements using MS SQL Server. For just 10 VMs, I'd have thought a more straightforward file-based database would have been sufficient. Before upgrading the server recently, I had a scheduled task to start and stop the services as needed.

We have been using Veeam in the company for many years. We needed a product that would allow us to backup our virtual and physical machines. So Veeam Backup and Replication was evaluated and chosen. It is a very good product, very good. We have integrated it with vmware vsphere. We have full visibility of all the machines and can quickly save them to Veeam Backup and Replication and restore them if needed. We needed a product that would allow us to restore virtual machines quickly, or just restore individual files. Veeam Backup and Replication answered our needs. We have it deployed on two separate sites in our city. Everything works perfectly!

Used for doing backup, replication, and offsite storage of virtual machines. Using both the Hyper-V and VMWare platforms. We have a virtual machine running the Veeam management, then keep local backups on a NAS attached via iSCSI. Those backups are copied to both an offsite location as well as to AWS storage.

Veeam provides an all in one backup appliance for Hyper-V and physical servers. Veeam Backup and Replication powered daily, hourly, and CDP backups for all servers within four data centers globally. The ingress of all servers into a single platform with egress to almost limitless destinations is the best feature of the product.

We currently use Veeam Backup and Replication to perform daily backups and replication of our critical production servers. In 2018, we moved to the Veeam platform after a fatal server crash that Barracuda failed to remedy and the loss of 30 days of transactions that had to be manually re-entered when the Barracuda appliance yielded inconsistent backups that prevented us from a speedy and successful recovery. Unfortunately, Barracuda support blamed an incompatibility with the Microsoft VSS Writers that their team acknowledged a known issue with their backup agent that they did not have a solution for. Luckily we were able to fix this ourselves otherwise the data loss would have been much more critical that it already was. We provided them with the steps in how we were able to correct the incompatibility in hopes that they would provide that to their other clients that were less fortunate.

in our company Veeam is used for backup of all our servers in virtual and non-virtual environments. We have Servers with different types of Operating Systems and to date we have never had any problems with our backups and restores. The backups are done in an immutable environment so as to preserve the data from any malware
