Veeam Backup & Replication currently backs up 3 host systems and 18 virtual machines daily. The backups run quickly and efficiently. We also look after several customer systems with many different server systems. Linux servers can also be easily backed up with Veeam Backup and Replication. In the future, we will secure more and more systems with this software.

The main reason to use Veeam Backup & Replication is that the software is very flexible. At a reasonable price (or free) you can plan and set up a fully comprehensive professional backup strategy that is also freely scalable. In addition, Backup & Replication offers a very simple way to manage a tape infrastructure.
Unfortunately, we cannot describe this function because we do not use cloud backup. Not even with our customers whom we look after. The function itself is very interesting and worth a look at due to the high availability. Even if the backups are encrypted, it is more important for us to keep the backups local. Depending on the scenario, the cloud environment may not be tangible and we want to prevent that.
Unfortunately, we cannot describe this function as we do not use it. Not even with our customers whom we look after. The function itself is very interesting and worth a look at due to the high availability. Please excuse. We are currently testing this function and we can imagine using it in the future.
