Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication is being used by the IT Department. It's used to back up the company's virtual environment. The solution helped in fast and instant recovrey of the production env(ERP) in cases of system issues. Veeam Backup & Replication helped to resolve a problem with our exchange server where other solutions could not make a backup, so using Veeam allowed us to make a full backup and truncus log files.
  • High compression when making backups
  • Very fast instant VM recovery
  • Low bandwidth consumption
  • Interface is very well designed
  • Convert physical server to VM
  • Gained time
  • Satisfied manager
Currently, we are protecting 6 Hyper-V VMs, where 5 of them are in a cluster and one physical server. This is just a few servers of our infra and we anticipate adding more servers, cloud sites, and other resources that will be used to ensure disaster recovery.
Not for the moment, but we are anticipating having a cloud site where servers will be backed up to.
Actually, we are not using this feature.
Veeam Backup & Replication is fast and simple to use over other solutions.
Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited for a virtual enviromment with application aware technology like in cases when backing up a VM with SQL server application. We either can restore the entire VM or specific objects related to SQL.
Veeam Backup & Replication is very appropriate for buisnisses with high network bandwith use. We used it in such a situation and the speed of backup & restore was really improved.
