Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is being used by our organization to do file-level backups, mailbox backups, as well as Virtual Machine Replication for Disaster Recovery. As we are based in Florida, having a solution where we can flip a switch and have our clients' servers up and running is important.

Our company currently utilizes Veeam with most of our clients that purchase Workstation Backups. I believe this to be around 1000 workstations. This is about on par for what we expected when we purchased this product.
- Replication of servers is key for where we are located.
- Being able to restore deleted email
We changed over to Veeam as our primary backup solution mostly for the replication service. As part of our Disaster Recovery plan, we needed a way to keep our customers online as long as possible during a potential hurricane. Since its implementation, we have had to use it a couple of times and it has been reliable.
Our organization has benefited from the capabilities of disaster recovery by replicating our clients' VMs to another data center location. If/when our primary data center has lost power or connectivity, we have spun up the VMs at the secondary location and connection was down for a minimal amount of time.
Our company benefits from the NAS backup solution. The primary way is restoring folders or files that get moved or deleted by users so they can continue their work.
