its exactly what was planned
  • backups not consistent as DNS problems occurr
there was no client backup solution in place
cloud not implemented
only for testng
automatic testing formerly done backups are very well - way too complicated implementation of workstation backup.

Veeam Backup & Replication Support

no good experiences and no real help ; do this do that , i need this , i need that - until sth is not reproducable ...takes too long to get a solution.
ProsCons
Kept well informed
No escalation required
Less knowledgeable
Difficult to get immediate help
Need to explain problems multiple times
Slow Initial Response
no - didnt know about it.
Yes - no - the support never gets my point

Using Veeam Backup & Replication

its main scope its covering very well (backing up VMs)
but as a client backup solution this is often not working out good
ProsCons
Relatively simple
Easy to use
Well integrated
Feel nervous using
Lots to learn
  • setting up your environment
  • providing connections to needed components
  • adding accounts being used
  • its awfull that u have to do the hostscan all the time

Veeam Backup & Replication Reliability

6 for clients
10 for VMS

on the whole a 8 as it is easy extensible and scalable
backups of clients often do not work or are mixed up - vms are mostly totally perfect
no bad experiences at all

Relationship with Veeam Software

communication was not easy - I wished i was asked better questions being a rookie
talking is hard as lines are quite bad - writing lasts to long and mostly only is no real help but a link to a KB
