Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam for backing up all of our on site servers. The biggest reason for these backups is to have a fail safe from possible attacks or potential hardware failure. We also utilize Wasabi as a cloud based backup solution in case something were to happen with our backups saved on site.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • NAS filers
  • Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware

Pros

  • Immutable Storage for on site Backups
  • Easy integration with Cloud based storage such as Wasabi
  • Test Restores to ensure the backup process is working.

Cons

  • Veeam could have their own cloud backup solution.

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

We have between between 75 and 100 servers across 4 companies. We do backup our servers primarily because they are most important and our endpoints would be too much storage and aren't as important to backup, in case of an attack.
  • Positive Backup Solution
  • Helps with CMMC NIST/171 compliance requirements
  • Gives us confidence should we get attacked.
I was not around when our Information Technology team decided to move forward with Veeam but after using it myself I would most definitely choose Veeam again in the future.
We use Wasabi as an offsite cloud storage so that we have a secondary location for our backups, should we have issues onsite.
We backup our NAS using Veeam which allows us to use this capability. We haven't had to use it fortunately but we are confident that should something happen, we are able to go back to our data.
Veeam is a great solution if you are looking for data retention within your company or if you need a backup solution that you don't need to worry about failing due to the application itself. Veeam gives us immutable backups with is highly desired in a tech world where attacks are common and encryption is necessary.
