Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is used at our office, as well as many of clients' CO's. We typically implement Veeam to manage server infrastructure backups, as well as replication to disaster recovery sites. A typical use case would be replication between two hosts onsite, and backup to either a NAS or Tape, as well as an offsite backup. These jobs typically run nightly.
- Replication between two hosts is perfect.
- Backups to offsite locations on an automatic schedule with email alerts work very well.
- Ease of use.
- Backup to tape doesn't always work intuitively.
- Adding the same resource to the inventory when it is already considered an active piece when managed by vSphere would be nice to have.
- Veeam saves time with automation, and generally works well. It has been valuable restoring from backups but it has not been needed in terms of disaster.
We have multiple clients where Veeam has been implemented. An estimate of 20-30 hosts with approximately 200-300 VM's are being protected. It is neither more or less than anticipated because workloads at each client differ.
