Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
It uses Veeam B&R for backup of all virtual servers. After the nightly backups are made I use a Veeam copy job to send them to our DR site. If we ever have an issue with a VM we would use Veem B&R to restore it back to its original config. The best part about it is the instant recovery feature which saves time in restoring a VM. What it does is mount the VM to Vcenter via the backup itself, when ready you can do a live migration that doesn't impact the end-user.
- backup
- replication
- recovery
- Newest version seems buggy, it works but I get more retrys then normal on jobs.
- Surebackup could be improved.
- New version seems to give lots of warnings about snapshot removal also.
- It is expensive but worth every penny
I have had much trouble from the surebackup part of the software
