Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

We are protecting 85 servers. We have had well over 100 at times, but I think that we knew going in that the number would go down. Now, we are seeing the numbers go back up. Being that we can adjust the resources of servers and set a back-up rotation that suits our needs, we are more prone to stand up servers if we need them.
- Back up and restore on the fly is very helpful makes us more flexible
- Snapshots save us a lot of time as well as anxiety. We use snapshots a lot.
We used tapes and bacupexec before Veeam. We had a lot more hardware before Veeam. We are thrilled that we are no longer on tape. We are also pretty happy that the hard disk costs have gone down as well as the development of solid state drives. Veeam handles solid state drives well.
We are not moving to the cloud just yet. Not in any major way.
We have not.
