Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We have been using Veeam across the whole organization to support the backup of virtual machines and prepare the Disaster Recovery scenario with the Veeam ability to send the backups to the cloud. We have prepared a Disaster Recovery in Microsoft Azure using our daily backups, send then to the Azure and use the backups to restore the VMware virtual machines in Azure virtual machines. Works like we expected and now we are using it for the backup for C-level users' desktops and laptops.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Easy to deploy and to use.
- File Level Restore is super fast and easy to use.
- The ability to send our backups to the cloud and use then to Disaster Recovery.
- Easy to recovery desktops and laptops for key users super fast.
- Integration with VMware and Azure is very good.
- A virtual appliance with pre-configured options will be good.
- Protection for MacOS.
Right now we have nearly 50 server machines protected and send to the Microsoft Azure. For workstations and laptops we have about 10 machines. It's more then we expected because the use for machines and laptops was not our main purpose, but after the tests was a good idea to do a next level of protection for our C-Level employees.
- Now we have a strong Disaster Recovery plan.
- We now that our most important employees are protected.
Without any doubt, the ability to do the backups and send them to the Microsoft Azure was a key feature to decide to change to Veeam Backup & Replication. Before Veeam we have relied on scripts to this and most of the times we had problems. Veeam brings to us the easy deployment and the confidence that our strategy works.
The integration with Microsoft Azure was a key topic to us to decide by Veeam. We've been using Azure for a few years now and it's important to us to store our backups in the cloud too. So, the possibility to do that in unique tool was great to us.
I'm not using this feature right now.
