Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam is utilized as one of the backup options for my clients. It is software-based (versus a BDR appliance) and is very efficient for backing up servers internally or offsite. The software is used for the entire organization's systems and data and solves the problem of backing up data and infrastructure.
- Create initial image level and agent based backups of servers.
- Efficiently and reliably manage backup jobs.
- Effortlessly synchronize data offsite with minimal labor and monitoring.
- It is only software based, one must supply their own BDR and/or storage location.
- While flexible, the software needs to run on a Windows-based appliance, bring your own appliance/OS license.
- Superb backup system and very reliable
- Minimal effort to setup and monitor.
- Easy to spec out licensing and purchase.
Veeam is the best of software-only solutions. Carbonite and Mozy may have more economical pricing but require constant monitoring and maintenance to work well. Veeam is extremely reliable and easy to use. Barracuda Backup and Unitrends are primarily BDR appliances, while Unitrends is not great at image backups, both solutions are an all-in-one solution whereas Veeam requires you bring your own host.
