Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam Backup and Replication to back up our virtual server environment. We back up roughly 40 servers every night in case of failure and keep one air gapped backup each week in case of malware. It has saved us a few times in my four years here where the OS failed for one reason or another and the time and resources having a backup saved us has far outweighed the cost of the product. The product is one of my more reliable platforms, a set it and forget it type of software.

Pros

  • Ease of use
  • Reliable
  • Simple upgrade process

Cons

  • For those using VMWare the ID number can change for various reasons and any time this happens those resources have to be re-added to your Veeam job. Mostly a quirk on the part of VMWare, but it would be nice to figure out a workaround.
  • Restoring backups for failed systems has saved us countless man hours in the past
By going with an on premise server and this software we have saved thousands of dollars over what other cloud alternatives are running.
Other than testing our backups to make sure that everything still recovers we are not participating in any of these opportunities. We don't have the time or staffing to do any of this.
We have not evaluated any other solutions, we get a good rate for Veeam and have always been happy. There is no reason to jump ship.
We are using this software for disaster recovery and it is perfectly suited for that. I get emails frequently about using it to back up our workstations and in an education environment where budget is a problem and we have thousands of PCs that is just never going to work.
