Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Because we have troubles with manual backups and find it difficult to do manual backups and store copies of them in numerous storage locations, we have decided to use Veeam Backup & Replication. It is possible to schedule backups and configure different storage locations, such as local, network, or cloud storage, using Veeam Backup & Replication. It informs you when a backup is complete, and it's a breeze to manage backups.

To get things started, we are now replicating and backing up about three extremely important virtual machines. There has not been a problem discovered as of yet. We're going to add additional virtual machines as soon as we get extra storage capacity to store the virtual machines.
- Implementation of a disaster recovery strategy.
- Scheduling automatic backups saves time.
- It's helpful to know if the backup was finished successfully, or if there were any warnings or errors.
We are able to utilize Veeam Backup & Replication thanks to its ability to manage manually performed backups, save data in a variety of storage locations, and generate alerts. Before we started using Veeam Backup & Replication, we had a poor experience since it was challenging to perform backups and restore checks. However, since we started using it, we have had a fantastic experience every time.
There has been no exploration done thus far. However, we will think about it in the future when cloud prices become more competitive.
Yes, and we are utilizing Veeam Backup & Replication to create backups of the most important files and folders that include unstructured data.
