It has successfully allowed us to build backup and recovery redundancy in order to ensure our apps continue to run and process customer data with appropriate security.

We have approximately 26 hosts in multiple locations that are backed up nightly to an SAN and replicated to another site. Additionally, we utilize Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our entire O365 environment to a cloud service provided away from AWS. We have been adding hosts and licenses since first acquiring Veeam Backup & Replication and have not missed a click on provided a good nights sleep.
- As an early adopter of Veeam Backup & Replication, the value provided was critical
- Ease of use, little training, fast restoration, and malware protection is my ROI
We were using three different backup methods, unrelated, unwieldly, and costly with no replication capability. Upon arrival and assessing our business continuity and data protection we felt there was a huge black hole. Some backups when attempting to replicate elsewhere failed and created turmoil. With the Veeam Backup & Replication that has all changed. It just works!
We use Veeam Cloud Connect to back up our O365 environment, including our OneDrive and SharePoint, to iland. Prior to that, nothing. And MS AWS does NOT backup that environment for you. We have had occasion to look for information after an employee has left, and we have that data safely backed up.
Nearly all of our VM data stores are on NAS devices. Veeam Backup & Replication has enabled us to replicate that information to a backup colocation.
