Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam for backup of virtual and physical devices. Snapshots are taken to disk and then written to tape on a daily basis, covering 3 TB of backups every day.
  • 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
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • Incremental backups.
  • Virtual workload snapshot/backups.
  • Virtual workload test and actual restores.
  • Physical backup (issues post Windows updates needing restarts).
  • Physical test restores (recent improvements).

10, as much as anticipated.
  • We reduced backup times from 14+ hours nightly (sometimes not finishing in time) to just 2 hours by utilizing incremental and parallel to disk, then from there to tape.
We had a daily full backup requirement that could not be met with the existing architecture and design.
We do not leverage cloud services at this time.
We have performed single-file restores using this tech, saving a full virtual machine stand-up.

Star product in the virtual space. Regular and progressive updates to the platform by a company focused on the future. Great support team that takes ownership of any problems. Innovative solutions such as RestoreLabs that solves problems you didn't know you had. Physical backups check the box, and while definitely not the focus of the organization, do get the job done. Ditto for the tape space. Overall a reliable product with good support.
