When deploying Veeam, be sure you have your environment right-sized. While it is not a big deal to increase capacity later, it will make a difference if you are trying to run Veeam on instances/VMs that are not appropriately sized on CPU and Memory requirements.

The initial backups took FOREVER. We also can't do synthetic full, because they take a week or more.

Make sure you know the amount of data you want to backup. Depending on this you can estimate the storage required. Also make sure to know how frequently you want to backup the data.

The implementation of Veeam Backup & Replication solution was successful in the company. If we had to do it all over again, I would recommend to rely on 3rd party services at the beginning of the project, so they can act as a guidance towards the rest of the implementation.

(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform")

Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).
