Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS
Veeam Backup is a great software. We started using the server version of Veeam Backup and Replication for our VMware workload in 2016 till date. Before Veeam we tried multiple other backup solution, but the simplicity like Veeam was nowhere available. Similarly the AWS version is simple, easy to use, and does the backup and restore efficiently.
- Option of incremental with a synthetical full backup is a great
- Multiple restore options such as Instant recovery, complete recovery works fine
- Application-aware restore supports many commonly used applications such as active directory, major databases, etc. And helps to recover single application items instead of full EC2.
- I am still unable to take advantage of the replication feature, it's somewhat complicated
- Probably after some training it could be easier
- Otherwise main backup and restore feature are great to use
- Storage costs money hence backup policies should be designed in a way that it doesn't take a lot of storage, increment backup should be used as it takes very less space
- The AWS own snapshots should be stopped when Veeam is ON
- For low severity backups low end storage option should be chosen
