Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
I use this product with many clients to backup their servers' VMs and I think it is a valid software even in the free Community Edition because of its versatility and features. I've tested it with Hyper-V and using the application-aware feature that lets me recover even a single email from the on-premise Exchange Servers and it's also useful when I have to recover a single file.

- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux

- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
