Rating: 10
Author: Matthew Poulton Poulton

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam to backup a variety of dedicated servers and virtual machines. We originally started using Veeam to replace an on premise backup solution that wasn't providing us with the features we needed. Veeam ended up being the best solution for our company. Right now we use Veeam to backup roughly 90% of our resources.

Pros and Cons

Scheduling Backup Jobs is Easy and Fast
Restoring from Backups is simple and reliable.
Veeam support is top notch, I usually get an agent assigned and my issue resolved in less than a day.

Price is a little high, but worth the cost.
Issues with some vmware hosts not being able to be backed up due to vmware licensing. No issues with HyperV though!

Return on Investment

Helped us replace our legacy backup solution.
Helped us get within compliance (PCI compliance etc).
