Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform Foundation

I was using this product for other companies where they had bunch of virtual machines deployed in the exsi server, so it was proposed to use this software to create automatic backup of all virtual machines hosted in the exsi servers. Earlier to use this software either we have to stop the virtual machine to take the snapshot as per the OEM recommendation of that Virtual machine or need to take full back from the application itself and then build a virtual machine from scratch and restore this back to that new virtual appliance, Veeam software has reduced lot of painful jobs as well as the downtime of that server. So i recommend to use Veeam Backup solution for your backup needs.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • License portability as your environment needs change
  • Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
  • Integration with cyber-security tools for SecureRestore
  • Accessing data for data mining or re-use of backup copies via API
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
  • Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
  • We are having difficulty in taking virtual machine snapshot because it corrupted the running virtual machine, so as per the OEM recommendation we need to stop the application server it was the painful job for the system administrators to do it manually but this has been easily achieved in the Veeam Backup software
  • This takes the automatic backup in case of any issues in our virtual machine we had to deploy the VM from scratch and restore the backup it is time consuming painful job but using this machine we can restore the virtual as the latest one in the some of few clicks
  • This drastically reduces the downtime in our ESXI environment and very cost effective solution comparatively other vendors in the market
  • Automatic Network settings is not supported for non-windows VM, incase of needs then we need to manually specify network mapping settings and public ip rules, so it is hard that you should every time manually does this job
  • if you are encrypt the VM's then replication of encrypted vm's to a cloud host is not supported
  • For cloud connect replication it does not support dhcp, your replicated VM should have the static IP's

We used this application for the automatic VM snapshots and backups , its really exceptionally well in this area and it has reduced lot of painful job while restoring the manual backup from the application server and also it has reduced the downtime to the server with matter of few clicks you able to restore the virtual machine to the latest state. Automatic Network settings is not supported for non-windows VM, incase of needs then we need to manually specify network mapping settings and public ip rules, so it is hard that you should every time manually does this job if you are encrypt the VM's then replication of encrypted vm's to a cloud host is not supported. For cloud connect replication it does not support dhcp, your replicated VM should have the static IP's
