- License portability as your environment needs change
- Automating test restores to validate recoverability
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery

I have architected multiple SAP customers with VEEAM Backup and Replication solutions. It has great integration capabilities with SAP and HANA DB workload. It is also very easy to restore and create copy of SAP systems for QA purposes or sandbox purposes. The replication features can be used for SAP workloads on any Hyperscaler. Overall customer is happy with VEEAM products.
- We don't need full time backup operator.
- Very easy for restoration and create QA and sandbox systems.
- Good for DR purpose.
Customer wants easily deployed backup and replication solutions. Veeam is very easily implemented and works well across different Hyperscaler AWS AZURE and GCP. Very easy to do DR Drills with VEEAM solutions. For SAP solutions, all the Veeam products are SAP and HANA certified and easily integrated. SAP Application servers can be replicated while being offline on DR side.
Veeam Backup and Replication solutions provide end-to-end DR capabilities across Hyperscaler like AWS AZURE and GCP. It can also be used in hybrid scenarios where some of the workloads are on-premise. Customer can easily do DR drills with Primary online. In actual DR the low RPO RTO can be achieved by having scripts ready end to end.
I have solutioned multiple customers with VEEAM solutions for NAS and fileshare capabilities. NAS file share can be easily backed up and restored using Veeam. Its deduplication and compression features benefit storage optimization. Customers can achieve good protection and also reduce their overall TCO for their data center or on hyperscaler.
