Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication (Veeam) is used to backup production systems in the IT department. The biggest problem it solves is financial--in that Veeam is free of charge. It solves the other issue of being easy to use, which is always a bonus. Backup programs either are difficult to use or extremely slow at retrieving a good copy. Veeam's file-level restore is heaven on earth for busy sysadmins.
- It is very fast. Disk-to-disk backup is extremely fast.
- Veeam is easy to use. Even someone who hasn't used it before can figure out how to restore a file in a few minutes.
- It uses a standard filesystem style hierarchy for file retrieval, which makes it very efficient when searching for a single file to restore.
- I would like some sort of manifest of backed up files to search through before attempting to find the file through the interface.
- Rather than selecting the backup to restore from, I'd like to select the file, see all of its versions, and then decide which version to restore.
- Being free of charge, it has saved us thousands on backup software.
- It has saved a lot of time in that it is quick and easy to use for file-level restore.
- It is an enterprise-level application that works on physical and virtual systems.
Veeam B&R compares very well with other backup and restore (BUR) utilities, but the fact that it is free, easy to use, and hassle-free (set it and forget it) made it an easy choice. It does everything we need it to do and it does it without any compatibility issues, licensing fees, or other constraints.
