Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication is versatile, reliable, and robust. I wanted something that even the least experienced technician in our department could maintain and use if necessary, especially during the age of COVID-19, and Veeam fit the bill. Veeam Backup & Replication works with everything, is easy to set up, and has plenty of education and documentation material. It's the standard for a reason.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • Backup
  • Recovery
  • Replication
  • Ease of Use
  • Easy to Learn
  • Better onboarding for new users

11. This is more, because I didn't realize how important it was to backup Microsoft Exchange Online accounts.
  • Better HIPAA Compliance
  • Less labor hours spent on recovering data
  • Less effort in upgrading file servers, because I can copy files shares with Veeam rather than by hand.
Veeam Backup and Replication supports our older Windows systems, modern systems, and is capable of supporting any cutting edge technology that we choose to implement.
Our planning for the cloud is much easier now because VBR answers the question: How do we back it up?
Our entire systems are being backed up by Veeam, but we also backup the file shares for quick recovery. We also use this functionality to migrate from old to new servers. It's so easy that even our most inexperienced technicians can use it without excessive risk.
Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited for virtualized, physical, and mixed environments. It fits in well with the relatively new kid on the block of cloud IaaS. I would like to see VBR continue to improve and add features for backing up Microsoft 365, including backups of OneNote, Forms, and Power Automate Workflows.

Evaluating Veeam Backup & Replication and Competitors

Yes - Datto and Quest Rapid Recovery. Datto was too expensive, and Quest did not have the features we needed.
