Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

We were/are using VEEAM for our onsite backups of servers so when we started using AWS we wanted a way to back that up as well. Looking at different options we found VEEAM had that capability and since we had the familiarity already we decided that was the best solution. The product addresses backs up company data that we don't want to lose, and offers easy restores should we need them. Currently, we only have a handful of AWS devices running but will be expanding in the future so this solution will be perfect to fit those needs as well.
  • Easily integrated into our current VEEAM backup instance.
  • Fast recovery of data from backups when needed.
  • Fast backups as well it doesn't interfere with our onsite backups.
  • Honestly, we haven't had any issues, setup was easy and backups run as expected.
  • Assured we have backups of crucial company data.
  • Easy restore process when something is needed.
  • Straight forward initial setup of backups.
Being cloud-based and also on-prem I feel secure that our availability is as close to 100% as we can get, that doesn't include paying for a hot site.
Druva was good but we like the features with VEEAM better, plus we already used it for on-site backups so it made sense to go with them.
