Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

It is a very powerful tool to back up all of your infra i.e. virtual, physical, and cloud servers. It's very easily customizable and works like a charm with our on-prem and cloud infrastructure. The admin console is very easy to use and understand, and it just works! I have used others and always chose Veeam over all others.
  • Easy to backup NAS.
  • Recovery for Hyper V machines.
  • The most charming part about Veeam Backup is that it works on windows servers and our Oracle Cloud Server.
  • I wish there were a Veeam application that can be installed on a desktop that isn't as heavy as the one you would install on the server.
  • There could be support for more than 10 virtual machines in the free version.
  • Veeam charge extra per TB licensing fees to backup unstructured data.
  • It's relatively inexpensive and storage agnostic.
  • Easy for all to use and perform various restoration work.
Well, the best scenario to use this is providing the real-time sync status of replication of media; it shows the health of the media so the admin can plan a backup accordingly. Instant recovery is the best in case of a loss of a VM. I like the fact that you can use multiple proxies to backup data through WAN. Setting up scheduling is easy once you know what you are doing.
We had some incidents with Hyper-V environments. When we scheduled a backup, they had to open up Check Point before they took a backup. Yet, due to some issues. The price is a little high considering some backup software is free, but it does have some great features that make it worth the money.

Veeam backup to AWS S3 and restore directly Cloud platforms(AWS) simple clicks make it easier for beginners. Veeam Powershell script made automated our disaster recovery without additional tools. Also saved a lot of money and vendor limitations. When a problem arises it is not always intuitive to get to the issue. While the system has a nice and detailed reporting module, it could be integrated in a better way to make it more natural to use.
