Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
I use Veeam to backup our important VM's both on site and off site to VTDs. It gives me that peace of mind knowing that I could spin my environment up on new hardware quickly in the event of a disaster.
- Virtualized workloads
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- NAS filers
- Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
- Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
- Easily backup and restore VM's.
- Schedule recurring backups with retention policies.
- Integration with AWS and VTD support.
- Auto Ejecting VTD's sometimes gets stuck and requires a manual kick.
- Web UI feature on backup & replication.
- Better remote monitoring.
I backup 8 workloads. This is about spot on with what I anticipated when the product was deployed because we knew exactly what we needed to run our environment.
- It's been a good experience except for the occasional VTD ejecting issue.
We had no reliable backup policy in place before we acquired Veeam. I needed some kind of backup solution and based on what I was reading, Veeam was the obvious candidate. Before we purchased Veeam, we had a very poor backup policy that was slow and not flexible. It would've taken a long time recover in the event of a failure.
We don't really use much cloud anything as all our servers are on prem or at a colo. The only offsite feature I use is AWS VTD backups which gives me the peace of mind knowing that if our storage array failed, I have VM backups easily accessible up in the cloud.
I have not used this feature.
