Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform as our primary backup solution for our physical and virtual infrastructure, after a long history of using various backup products my advice is Veeam Data Platform should always be in consideration for any company implementing or replacing their current back up strategy. The product is so efficient on storage space and features like replication and copy backup help implement a great DR strategy too.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
- Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
- NAS filers
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Automating test restores to validate recoverability
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Instant Recovery
- Never had a corrupt restore
- Storage Efficiency
- GUI Navigation

60 Virtual appliances and 30 physical instances are protected, as the estate grows we are simply adding to the inventory. It is the easiest addition to the back-up strategy I have encountered.
- Cost Effective
- Confidence in recovery
- Supplier is known company wide
The hybrid platforms our infrastructure runs meant Veeam Data Platform fit all criteria when switching from our old provider. Our old solution was excellent for our physical tin, but as our virtualisation platform grew we knew we needed another product.
Offsite backups to the cloud - Direct to Object storage has been a game changer for us in V12, and our AWS estate is covered by 2 points (just as an option against the AWS internal solution should it fail!).
It allows for a cost effective, copy back-up repository to in-expensive infrastructure in my experience.
