Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to back up virtual servers at my client's sites. It is used for migration and nearline backups. Veeam Backup & Replication enables us to restore servers to a recent exact working copy. Veeam also greatly simplifies physical hardware upgrades and migrations. I'm not sure how we would live without Veeam.
  • Migration to new virtual hosts
  • Quick and easy backups
  • Reliable restores
  • Fail safe replications
  • User interface could be improved.
  • The IA behind organizing the interface could also be improved.
  • Some basic wizards for first-time users could help.
  • Huge ROI on virtualized servers
  • Saved the day once with a manual migration that failed
  • Provides near line backups and fail safes
4 Physical and 8 Virtual workloads are currently protected with Veeam Backup & Replication. This is less than first estimated as Veeam has allowed for easy migration and upgrades.
We have not yet used cloud backup. Currently only using local storage.
We have used migration to test server deployments and upgrades that we then pushed to the live servers.
Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited for SMB to large virtualized HyperV environments. It also can help with offline large data transfers via removable disks.
