Veeam Data Platform

Formerly Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam Data Platform in many situations, but it is the primary backup platform for all systems in the Asia region. We have also used Veeam Data Platform to migrate VMs over a high latency, low bandwidth WAN circuit. It is been excellent for us in both scenarios. I highly recommend the platform for backing up VMware workloads on premise and in the cloud.

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.

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.

In my organization, NSW Health, Veeam Data Platform is used for data backup, recovery, and protection. It helps prevent data loss, minimize downtime, and ensure data availability across various healthcare-related systems and environments, including virtualized, physical, and cloud-based workloads. This is crucial for maintaining critical healthcare services and safeguarding patient data. Veeam also supports disaster recovery and multi-cloud data management within the scope of NSW Health's IT infrastructure.

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.
