Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

This is a fantastic product that is yet to fail me. For more than a decade I've used Veeam products for backing up my critical data and this product is more than exceeding those expectations. I've always recommended it to my employers and other clients whenever I'm asked my opinion on whatever backup software they need. I am yet to see a need for something for this software that it cannot fulfill because it doesn't exist yet.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • NAS filers
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Accessing data for data mining or re-use of backup copies via API
  • None of the above
  • Ease of use
  • Backup speed
  • Documentation being clear
  • Backup VM's directly on Trunas
  • no further improvements I can think of

The company I work at relied on the staff maintaining their own backups when I joined. I immediately said that I can guarantee you right now that not a single employee is actually using their assigned flash drives for backup purposes, and when a employee had a laptop with imprtant data stolen, we could not recreate that data quickly enough which cost the company a small fortune.
We backup data that is already on a NAS and uploading it to the cloud.
This sopftware is suited for all scenarios where backing up data is critical to the business and needing to resotre or recover data is important. It's well suited for all companies of all sizes from small one person companies to multi hundreds and is good for backing up every type of file.
