Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam to backup all our virtual servers to a NAS located in another building away from our ESXi hosts. It backs up main servers daily, while non-mission critical servers are backed up once a week.
  • Incremental backups of VM's
  • Easily restore files/backups
  • Easy to use, good tech support if you need to call with an issue
  • Backing up physical devices can be done but not as easily.
  • Annual renewal pricing is not bad but still annoying for just minor updates. Prefer just to purchase once and be done with it.
  • Great peace of mind to know essential systems are backed up
  • Much lower cost than other options
We have not used any cloud platforms, just local NAS at a different building and physical ESXi hosts for VMware.
We verified backups, did not try sandbox testing. Anytime I had to actually restore files/data it worked flawlessly.
Veeam works the best if you are backing up virtual machines. Especially with VMware.
If you have virtual machines to back up, Veeam is the gold standard.
