We use Veeam Data Platform to backup a number of on-premise devices, including VMWare VM's and physical hosts. We leverage storage we provide both on premise and in the cloud to ensure all mission critical data is backed up reliably and recoverable quickly. In today's IT world, ransomware is a when, not an if anymore, so having current backups you can trust is crucial.

We use Veeam Data Platform to meet our regulatory compliance and business continuity requirements. We encapsulate all of our infrastructure using Veeam Backup and Recovery. This best of breed solution gives us assurance that our implementation will stand up to the challenge when called on. Having used other, lets say more user hostile products in the past, it's hard to think of moving away from this product.

I backup both VM and physical servers in our DCS environment, totaling 30. The mixed environment made managing backups difficult, whereas VEEAM made this easy and efficient. Being able to manage backups from one location, as well as create one-offs on servers too old / incompatible with networked solutions made this the best choice.

In the organization, Veeam Data Platform plays a crucial role in ensuring data availability and business continuity. Given the complexity of our IT infrastructure, which includes a blend of physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud resources, we needed a comprehensive backup and recovery solution that could integrate seamlessly with our existing systems and our ERP. Veeam Data Platform addresses these requirements effectively, offering backup solutions for both on-premises and cloud data storage.

We are using Veeam Data Platform for our data protection. Our data is our Intelectual Property and Veeam Data Platform helps us create trustworthy backkups which we can test on functionality and which gives us the confidence that we can restore our data when needed. Although the Veeam Data Platform is very stable and reliable it is also good to know that in case of issues the support is fast and good.

I have been using Veeam B&amp;R for about 5 years and it works well. They improve its capabilities with every release and keep up-to-date with the platforms it backs up and runs on. The software is dependable and at a good price point. In the rare cases I've had to call tech support, my issues have been solved quickly. Overall a great piece of software with ever-expanding capabilities.<br>

We use VEEAM Data platform as a backup tool for our production and system virtual machines. Some of the business problems that the product addresses are: the prevention of data loss from accidental file deletion, always-on data availability and reliability, ensuring compliance with data retention and security policies. The scope really depends on the specific needs and objectives of our business such as the type and amount of data to be backed up, how frequent and the duration of backup operations, the location and format of backup storage, the recovery point objective and recovery time objective for data recovery and the level of automation and testing for backup and recovery processes.

Veeam Data Platform provides an easy-to-use and very streamlined approach to performing server and workstation backups. I have found the product to be a lifesaver when it comes to protecting critical servers and their data. Veeam Data Platform not only provides highly detailed and easy-to-follow instructions and guides, but their support infrastructure is fantastic. I think Veeam Data Platform is offered at a reasonable price considering the comprehensive amount of tools provided in the software. I highly recommend checking out the Veeam Data Platform software for any business - large or small.

We use Veeam Data Platform to backup all of our on premise data from three separate locations. We use Veeam Data Platform to store our data at other sites of ours for redundancy as well as make it immutable from Virus and Ransomware corruption. We will also be testing the Veeam Community Edition to start backing up our cloud data from AWS and Microsoft as well.

I needed something to replace the Server Backup program which comes with Windows Server. The native Microsoft Tool works, but is basic and does not provide alerts if a backup job fails or succeeds. I also experienced other issues to do with the software such as fairly common errors with VSS Writers which would cause backup jobs to fail. It was frustrating having to manually check the backup system twice a day to ensure it was actually working. Cue Veeam. After a fair bit of research, Veeam was the company which came up the most often as being recommended and in use. Even better than other platforms such as AOMEI, Macrium, Acronis etc there was a community version with a lot of features and although it is limited to 10 workloads - it is full product and not a time trial. I found that there was a lot of supporting information and tutorials on the internet. I first installed it as a VM to test it's functionality and I am very happy to say it didn't disappoint. It is very quick, includes encryption and alerts me whether backup jobs are successful or whether they fail - it isn't often they fail. I have recently moved from the test VM to a physical device for the Veeam backup server and implemented it. This particular backup is used to save encrypted data onto a removeable device, which is my immutable backup. 10 stars!

I have been using Veeam Data Platform for years and it only continues to get better, Veeam Data Platform is very dependable and quick when backing up and restoring files and VM's. The interface is easy to understand, and has a ton of options. Software updates are frequently released to keep up with any bug fixes or newer platforms that it supports. I think it's a solid product for protecting VM's and Windows Servers/clients.

We use Veeam Data Platform to backup our software we sell to customers. It has given us a very reliable way to project our data. We replicate and copy to multiple data stores across our primary data center as well as our secondary data center.

Prior to Veeam Data Platform we used VM scripts to backup our servers, but that was very inefficient and timely. Veeam Data Platform greatly redunced the cost and complexity.

We are protecting about 100 VMs that have a combined disk capacity of 1 petabyte. Prior to using Veeam, we had difficulty completing file server backups, often running out of time, resulting in us not meeting our SLA. We also had issues with backup repository corruption. This has not been an issue with Veeam.

Simple to set up and use. We currently back up our Hyper-V environment, three hypervisors, and about 30 VMs. Separate from the VM jobs, we back up about 10 TB of file servers. We utilize Replication on two mission-critical VMs for failover. We follow the 3-1-1 rule: three copies, one media type, and one off-site backup copy. This is accomplished alongside the GFS retention policy. Automatic weekly reports of job history helps keep everything in line, along with immediate notification of failures.

We used to have a very fragmented data backup situation. Our desktops were not being backed up regularly, and our servers would use Backup Exec to a tape library. We weren't sure if our backups even succeeded with Backup Exec, and the cost to store large amounts of data with Backup Exec were high. We have an old install of Veaam for backing up certain VMs, but it had been neglected and the version was very old.<br><br>We decided to turn off Backup Exec completely, and invest in a subscription to Veeam so we could upgrade to the latest version. We now have all desktops and server backing up daily, and have integrated our tape library backups with Veeam, which are also automated now. We also have monitoring going with VeaamOne so we know when backups fail and can't react.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
