Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

Veeam Backup for AWS allows us to centrally back up all of our remote sites in one central location, allowing for the cheaper and easier management of all our disaster recovery images from all sites. The different levels of storage offered in AWS means we can manage our costs and store backs away we don't need, they also allow for offline isolation to prevent ransomware threats from encrypting all of our backups, rather than have to manually move them to another Nas or external hard drive. We are testing and implementing the ability to back up users' Vpcs this will give us another level of data protection and recovery. Pairing Veeam AWS and Veeam Back up and Replication has now given us an exceptional level of backup Protection and redundancies, rather than having to maintain and rely on a central storage location in the house, we can now move some of those backups to multiple cloud locations, in the case of complete loss of all data on-site we would be able to get back and operational very fast and efficiently.
  • Offline Cloud storage
  • Vpc backups
  • Multi-level storage options
  • Can be slow to start
  • Centralised management of backups is huge time saver
  • Different tiered storage make for a better ROI
  • Being able to back up directly from remote sites saved costings
We performed DR testing and were impressed about the recovery time and ability to effectively manage this process
Other products required multiple programss and vendors to work correctly. To be able to operate everything from one program makes management, training, and recovery so much easier

Veeam for AWS is excellent for meeting our data retention needs and ransom ware protection plan. The ability to be able to store data and backup offline in the cloud makes management a breeze. We have don't DR testing and running from AWS can be slow, but slow is better than nothing at all in the case of total system failure
