Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We backup our mail server with it and it runs jobs every 6 hours. It works flawlessly and was a breeze to set up. We run the jobs to two different storage locations one of which is remotely accessed. Both backup jobs are always operating fine as Veeam Backup & Replication will retry if for some reason the mail machine is not accessible to the system. I love it and won't look back since using Veeam Backup & Replication!

I want more! I wanted it for one machine and now I have two vim's running in a job. It did not occur to me at first, but Veeam Backup & Replication made me realize that this second backup was very useful and time-saving in case of a disaster. So I do not have a lot of machines, but it saves me so much trouble in case of issues.
- We feel more secure
- Backups have been restored on new hosts with ease
- No financial impact
In my day job, I work with Veeam Backup & Replication and it has impressed me for years now. From brick and level restores, to full machines. Open source stuff has disappointed me before, so the community edition is perfect and just works!
No, we do not use it. We store everything in our hardware, so I have no experience in this.
Yes, we store a lot on the drives in Synology Nas, on which a set of backups are stored. It's easy to use and performs great! We set it up with SMB.
