Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We use Veeam Backup & Replication v11 to back up all of our data in AWS. We store backups in S3 buckets or Glacier for archiving. It was pretty easy to set up and the restoration process so far as gone quickly and without issue. We are not using Veeam to back up any local data at this time. We are only using it for AWS EC2 instances and EBS volumes.

- Veeam has been a very affordable backup solution
- Licensing is cheaper than many competitors
Our organization needed an affordable backup solution for our AWS workloads that was reliable. Veeam seems to be one of the leaders in the industry and it seems to be for good reason. It was also important that the product was easy to set up and use and so far it has met expectations.
We use this product exclusively for AWS workloads in the cloud, including Windows and Linux servers and EBS volumes. So far, the product has done everything it has promised and we have been happy with it. Ease of use is a big selling point in my opinion. Restores have gone great so far.
