Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We use Veeam to back up our virtual machine, as well as the Hyper-V host. Veeam has been an invaluable tool in retrieving data and ensuring data is being backed up. It truly provides peace of mind for our organization.

We have five Hyper V VMS that is currently being backed up by Veeam, including] our Hyper V host. It was not anticipated that we had the amount of VMs because we were still building them at the time Veeam was implemented. However, I am very pleased with how Veeam has handled this many backups.
  • Ability to recover valuable user data from file share that was being backed up with Veeam
  • Back up of essential security camera footage
Veeam was already in place when I arrived at my current job, but just not being implanted correctly. I still saw the potential, and how we could improve the infrastructure and processes for backups.
We do not currently use cloud workloads or cloud backups.
Our camera system and footage are stored on a rack-mounted NAS. Veeam takes care of the backups flawlessly.

Due to other improvement projects in our environment, we decided to re-evaluate our backup solution which led us to Veeam Backup & Replication. Our experience with our backup solution has improved tremendously since we have implemented Veeam Backup & Replication.
