Veeam is a great all around backup and replication solution!

We use Veeam to backup our entire organizations data that cannot be easily retrievable or restored otherwise. This includes shared files and documents, entire VMs of domain controllers and other servers and even a few various full computer images for machines that need to be set up in a very specific way. Not every employee in a non-profit industry such as this is incredibly tech savvy. Couple that with the fact that as a non-profit, we generally cannot afford to keep all of our technology on the cutting edge, sometimes things happen and files get lost, or deleted, or corrupted. Veeam has made it a breeze for me to restore those files, systems or virtual machines with the click of a couple of buttons. This saves potentially weeks or months of work being lost due to a small mistake or a large catastrophic failure. And with the replication feature, it's easy to save multiple copies of the backed up files, as well as keep multiple iterations of the backups going back a specific amount of time. This software has saved my life (and quite possibly my job) dozens of times over the years and I am extremely pleased at having made the decision to move to it when I did.

3 Virtual, 2 physical. A little more than when it was first purchased, but we've expanded since then and added new systems that needed to be backed up more securely than they were initially, such as a new parking gate server and endpoint, a new baremetal hypervisor server, and others.

Several years ago, when we switched from separate baremetal servers to hosting multiple VMs on a single physical machines, Veeam became the best choice for backup in that situation over the software we were using before. This is also when we added multiple backup points to create redundancy for security purposes.

We have not yet begun to implement cloud backup services, as the cost of them is not conducive to the business we have. We do have regular replication to a location offsite to help mitigate this, and we will eventually take advantage of the cloud features when it becomes more neccessary and cost effective.

We have a large internal file share that gets backed up consistently to prevent the loss of any work. Veeam has allowed me to instantly restore any data that was lost or corrupted due to end user mistakes or crashing systems, etc. It has saved hours and days of work.
