Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We use [Veeam] Backup & Replication as a department, but backing up organization data as a whole.
This solves the need to store physical backups. We used to have physical tape drives that we would have to send off to Recall. With the pandemic, going into the office was not allowed.

- 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
- Restoring backups are very simple and the GUI is well thought out.
- Great support and user community
- The Scale Out Repository setup could be simplified or more intuitive.
We started out only backing up necessary data. Since using the product we have now licensed all our hosts to backup everything.
- Sense of security
- Reliability
- Ease of access
COVID made us change our backup solution. As well as the need for evolving technology.
It absolutely has. We can now restore to any point in time from our cloud backups without the need for getting tapes out of recall, waiting for them to be delivered, etc. We can now deliver faster restores for the company.
We currently don't use this feature.
