Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
Veeam provides the following interesting features that every IT professional faces:
1. Disk and tape Backup for both physical and virtual environment.
It provides image or application awareness level backup. We use both of Veeam for daily and full synthetic monthly disk backup(GFS) in StoreOne and then save to monthly tape backup. Data size is about 50TB with GFS to save lots of storage space. It is quick and safe. However, physical server backup costs lot because each 500GB disk space will consume one Veeam license. So it is really good for virtualization environment.
2. Quick migration during data center relocation.
We used to migrate 100TB of virtual machines between data centers without any issues. Suggest to have more Veeam servers for better performance.
3. Replication data if you don't use SAN block level replication.
3PAR StoreServ storages were used for remote copy group replication. So Veeam replication did not use for our bank but it worked.

- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- NAS filers
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Integration with cyber-security tools for SecureRestore
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Seven-year data retention
- GFS backup to save space
- Encryption backup
- Quick restore
- It does not protect as many apps as other does
- Agentless for physical server as physical backup is not working well
- Higher price
- After 2020, Technical support response time gets slower
- Clone function is plus

Yes
- Slower performance
- Higher price
No plan to replace Veeam in the next two years if we don't change our environment architecture. When we have more work load, we may reconsider backup solution.
Bank does not use public cloud.
