Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

It is being used as a data centre backup tool. It backups most of our systems running on VMware, for example, MS Exchange, AD, financial systems, service desk systems, etc. We use the incremental injection feature which ensures the last back is the latest backup version.

Pros

  • Backup of VMware VMs.
  • Forever forward incremental backup.

Cons

  • Veeam upgrade had some software issues and had to reinstall.
  • Saves costs in managing backups and software is very reliable and can repair itself.
  • Its very lighted and not bloated like some other backup software available today.
We have approximately 30 workloads or VMs being protected by Veeam.
Yes, Veeam has backup integrity checks to test the reliability of the backup. We have this feature turned. We have implemented Veeam replication another storage system.
Veeam backup and replication is a very light software and is designed from the ground up for virtualized environments. This software is very reliable and has self-healing capabilities and is therefore highly recommended due to its ease of use and feature-rich capabilities.
It is well suited for any business that runs on a virtualization platform such as Hyper-V or VMware. The maintenance and support are minimal as the software can run automatically and notify you of any issues should they occur.
