Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Using Veeam to backup our Microsoft Hyper-V environment of one host with 9 VMs. Had previously used it at another outfit to backup a much larger VMware environment with great success. Veeam is incredibly simple to set up and use.
- Virtualized workloads
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Scheduling of regular backups.
- Recovery from said backups.
- The ease of use from installing to setting up the first backup to recovery. It is intuitive.
- The support from Veeam is amazing. Among the top 3 I have ever dealt with in 20 years of doing IT.
- I am not an advanced Veeam user. For what I use it for it, is an exceptional product, that has a 100% effective support mechanism behind it if you ever need it (which has been rare).

I only have one server at this job that is protected. At my previous work we were backing up 50+ VMs and it was simple and easy.
- The ability to recover data without hassles/issues is amazing.
- I spend 5 hours less a week dealing with backups, Veeam just works.
Prior to Veeam, I had been using Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM). That was almost 40 hours a month to administer. The switch to Veeam, was down to 10 doing the same amount of backups.
We don't use the cloud, yet.
Not protecting a NAS, we are using a NAS to backup data to however and that has worked well.
