Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

We use Veeam Backup for AWS for both physical
workstations and virtualized server backups. We have three physical
servers, and a couple of dozen workstations, and run three virtualized servers.
Backup and recovery are critical to our business, as it is for any business
running a database or having other critical data. Veaam Backup helps us
minimize our downtime as backup and restore operations run smoothly and
reliably when needed. With Veeam, any time we need to restore data it is
essentially available at our fingertips, so with a moment's notice we can
restore things at a file level, or even if there were a disaster scenario or if
we were the victims of a crypto lock or similar attack, Veeam Backup for AWS
will be there to get us back up and running in no time. It is a truly indispensable
product for our business. I would highly recommend Veeam Backup for AWS to anyone that is serious about data integrity and disaster recovery.
  • Veeam is great for full volume or even just individual file restores.
  • Veeam works perfectly in the background without using too many resources.
  • Veeam support is great if you ever have issues.
  • I have no suggestions for improvements.
  • Veeam has helped us keep things running smoothly with limited downtime.
  • Limiting downtime helps us focus on our core business.
Veeam Backup has never failed me, whenever we have needed to recover data it has worked flawlessly. It is highly available and I do not know of of a situation where our business has needed Veeam Backup fo AWS and has not been able to access or use it in some way.
I was a former user of Veritas Backup Exec, even before Veritas was acquired by Symantec. At that time, we were only running physical servers and backing up to tape. Things have come a very long way since then, and Veritas has not kept up. The software itself was cumbersome, the backups were not reliable, and the restore operations were a miracle if they worked. That was essentially the worst-case scenario when it comes to reliable backups. Veaam Backup for AWS fixed all of those issues from the first day we started using it; the setup was a breeze, it has worked flawlessly since that first day, and I can always rely on it to perform restore operations.
