Veeam Data Platform

Formerly Veeam Backup & Replication

Backup and copy backup jobs of the production systems using the 3-2-1 rule as a beat pracrice

We've used Veeam products for a few years now, and implementing Veeam B&R for some of our VM infrastructure was a natural next step: the interface is familiar, and the features are robust. We brought in a reseller to help with some of the setup (and to help make sure we nailed the best practices), and it's been working seamlessly since then. The biggest thing we're currently waiting on is the ability to seamlessly back up and bare metal restore SMB shares; we've been told that comes out in v12.

We use Veeam to back up our two VMware clusters, which allows us to protect our users and infrastructure against user error or malicious actors. Veeam’s ease of use to restore items such as SharePoint elements, tables from a database or simple files makes our job much easier and reassures users in case of an issue we can restore data quickly and efficiently. We also make use of the Veeam tape function with a LTO library for offsite backups. After 5 years of using Veeam to protect our whole on-prem services and Office 365 I can’t recommend this product enough.

One of the key strengths of Veeam Backup & Replication is its ability to deliver fast and reliable backups for virtual machines (VMs). The product provides multiple options for backup storage, including local storage, cloud storage, and tape, ensuring that organizations can find the right backup solution for their needs. In addition, Veeam Backup & Replication integrates seamlessly with other tools and platforms, making it easy to use and manage.Another strength of the product is its ability to provide flexible disaster recovery options. The product provides the ability to replicate VMs and data to a remote location, helping organizations to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster.Overall, Veeam Backup & Replication is a robust and reliable solution that provides a comprehensive set of features for data protection and disaster recovery. Whether you are working in a virtual, physical, or cloud environment, Veeam Backup & Replication is an excellent choice for protecting your critical data and applications.

While working in IT/OT industry for 20+ years I have experience working with a number of backup software vendors - Arcserve, BackupExec, Netbackup, etc. I found Veeam Backup & Replication is different from pretty much every perspective (in a good way =). First - customer support is on another. Starting with extensive, constantly updated Knowledgebase and best practice library, followed by huge community and forum 24/7 monitored by Veeam Backup & Replication employees and great, local to you, professional support. If you open the case you can make sure person assigned to the case listen you, trying to understand the problem and even level 1 support can do more then level 3 for some vendors. Second - approach to software releases. Last v12 being polished for longer then a year and I do appreciate it as I can be sure I don't need to wait for half a year after release waiting for all initial issues will be fixed. Last but not least - functionality of the product in most of the cases covering all possible DR scenarios you can imagine.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our Virtual Server infrastructure on-premises and also use it to back up to the cloud for disaster recovery. We need the ability to be able to restore both files and also application items like SQL databases. We have up to 3 copies of every server in different locations and Veeam Backup & Replication gives us the option to do this easily. We are currently using the cloud backup as strictly a DR option as we have so many failovers on-premesis.

We use it for backups and replication of new clusters - daily backups, tape backups, and backups of remote sites.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for backing up various servers throughout the company. We currently backup over 15 servers on a continuous schedule multiple times per day. It handles Domain Controllers, File Servers, and numerous application severs. Most are virtual machines but some are also bare-metal. Different servers run on different schedules and number of snapshots is managed by the software to prevent the server from getting too full to work.

Veeam is used to efficiently and effectively back up critical data within the data center

We switched to Veeam from Symantec Backup Exec and have not looked back. The software works great, we use it to backup our ESXi Environment as well as Physical Servers and workstations. It works flawlessly every time i have to do a restore.

I have found Veeam to be the most comprehensive backup & replication system on the market. Whether you want to have a simple backup, running under legacy DR methods, or you want a modern backup scheme that is fully automated -- Veeam can do it all! We have recovered from a complete disaster in very little time thanks to Veeam. I would highly recommend it!

We use Veeam Backup & Replication v11 to back up all of our data in AWS. We store backups in S3 buckets or Glacier for archiving. It was pretty easy to set up and the restoration process so far as gone quickly and without issue. We are not using Veeam to back up any local data at this time. We are only using it for AWS EC2 instances and EBS volumes.

We primary use it to Backup some of our VMs and for testing and laboratory purpose. It's easy to use, simple to configure, very reliable and perfomant. It's used by our admins and males it easy to handle daily work.

Veeam is useed on premise for day to day backup operations and also for replicating for DR purposes.

We currently utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for our system backups for our Virtual Environment, as well as a few physical servers. We utilize both the backup and the replication feature, create immutable copies, and replicate both to a cloud environment as well as a 2nd datacenter. Veeam Backup & Replication allows for regular DR testing, and I've utilized the instant restore feature a couple of times on a corrupted VM - it worked perfectly. Highly recommend this for DR and a backup system.

We use Veeam to backup our on-prem environment and offload backups to AWS S3.

Veeam allow us to manage M365 application data in an on-prem and off-prem data center. We found we want greater ability to backup and restore more M365 application data than Microsoft was giving us. Veeam allows the ability to pick certain users to manage rather all Active Directory users which would be much more costly.

Our company have all our backup and replication through it. From VMs to files to computer backups. We also have replication setup to our 2nd location. We need real scenario DR testing.

Support from Veeam Backup & Replication could improve a little. There are no check on company's usage.

Nightly backup of primary data servers. Weekly backup of application servers. Monthly backup of static data. Cloud replication. Restores.

We use Veeam Backup and recovery for daily, weekly, and monthly standard backups as well as for our ransomware / air gap server back ups. We snapshot servers before updating them in case of corruption or if the update fails. The snapshots have bailed us out of many a tight spot.We use replication for migrating servers from blade to blade and for the fail over and fail back .

We use Veeam Backup & Replication for our on-premise physical servers and our VM infrastructure, including the cloud. Our previous backup software did not have many of the features of Veeam Backup & Replication, including the ease of testing restores thoroughly and effectively. The other important feature is that Veeam Backup & Replication reduced our overall backup time by over 4 hours.

I use Veeam Backup & Replication for local and remote cloud backups for all organization virtual machines, and the same important local machine or pc.

I had a problem with one of the HOSTS servers, and it took a long time to restore using Native Windows Backup. When I switched to Veeam Backup & Replication, the speed of recovery surprised me, and also the reliability of the backup caught my attention. Today I use it daily for my VMS backups, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I've used competing for software, but Veeam's simplicity captivated me.

I was using this product for other companies where they had bunch of virtual machines deployed in the exsi server, so it was proposed to use this software to create automatic backup of all virtual machines hosted in the exsi servers. Earlier to use this software either we have to stop the virtual machine to take the snapshot as per the OEM recommendation of that Virtual machine or need to take full back from the application itself and then build a virtual machine from scratch and restore this back to that new virtual appliance, Veeam software has reduced lot of painful jobs as well as the downtime of that server. So i recommend to use Veeam Backup solution for your backup needs.

We use Veeam as a VM backup solution. Its application has a relatively low learning curve and the simplicity of how things work is an excellent point. Backup and restore tasks, in addition to data integrity checks, provide the necessary support to the manager in the architecture of his solution and data security plan.
