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.

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.
