Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

I decided it was time to look for a replacement for a backups solutions which we had been using for many years (BackupExec). Additionally I wanted to find something that would better support our virtual environment and potentially be available as a purpose built hardware solution. Veeam can support this from what I have read to date. Additionally I needed to try it before making a decision to move forward. The community edition has allowed me to do this and works well.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • None of the above
  • None of the above
  • Backup VMs with compression
  • Restore the VM and re-register with vCenter - perfectly each time.
  • The interface can be confusing for those of us who dont like to read manuals

  • So far no impact as we are reviewing
We are looking to move to something that is integrated, or can be, with a hardware solution that will support our current on prem and future cloud environments.
We have not yet, but we are looking for these options moving forward.
We are not utilizing this option.
Based on the level of effort which was required to install and configure Veeam I am going to look at migrating our backup strategy to include Veeam as a solution. The setup is very easy and operationally it is extremely simple to set up the backups. I am anxious to try the replication and instant recovery options as well.
