Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform to backup all of our on premise data from three separate locations. We use Veeam Data Platform to store our data at other sites of ours for redundancy as well as make it immutable from Virus and Ransomware corruption. We will also be testing the Veeam Community Edition to start backing up our cloud data from AWS and Microsoft as well.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
- 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
- Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
- 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
- Automating test restores to validate recoverability
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Ease of use to create backup scheduling
- Ease of use to restore data on the fly when needed
- Immutable storage of data to protect against ransomware
- Built-in functionality to backup cloud resources like 365
- Automatic restore testing for audits
- Backup sets directly to cloud resources like AWS S3 buckets

- Veeam Data Platform has produced a good ROI for our objective as it backs up all of our data
Before, we were backing up data to tape or just using local Windows backup features. Veeam Data Platform allows us to create schedules to backup all of our data on multiple tiers and not have to worry about those backup sets.
We have not benefitted much, as of yet, to protecting our cloud workloads as much of our data was on premise for many years. We are starting to focus more on offshipping our data to the cloud.
Yes, we are using Veeam Data Platform to backup unstructured data on all of our File Servers.
