Veeam Backup & Replication is used to backup our office 365 environment including OneDrive. Far as virtual work load 75 virtual servers are being backup. IT anticipated les work load when first installed and implemented. At the time of purchasing there was no feature to backup Office365 applications like there is today.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication has paid for itself many times over.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication has save users time recovering files that did not need to be recreated.
My experience is the Veeam Backup & Replication agent works well on most types of servers. In the past I have dealt with other backup server agents that seem to have issues at times. Another, deciding factor is the recovery process is simple and quick.
Our organization does not leverage cloud backup storage. We our fortunate to have a great datacenter with backup storage.
Our organization uses Veeam Backup & Replication to backup and replicate a remote NAS located at other facilities. This was a huge advantage for us to have local storage at our remote sites. Further more we are able to backup those local storage NAS to our corporate datacenter.
Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited in a virtual environment and not so good for bare metal servers.
