Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
Besides normal server backups, one of the most useful aspects of Veeam is the ability to use the prior server as backup hardware. Replication jobs ensure a working copy of the server. This in conjunction with the backup files being off-sited to our location, we have a complete BDR solution.
The lifecycle goes like this. When a server is replaced with new hardware, the old hardware becomes the backup. Seeing as we HAAS most of our clients hardware, we benefit from much longer hardware lifespans.

- Onsite replication
- A Vmware linux appliance preloaded with Veeam B&R would alleviate Windows issues.
