Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use VEEAM Data platform as a backup tool for our production and system virtual machines. Some of the business problems that the product addresses are: the prevention of data loss from accidental file deletion, always-on data availability and reliability, ensuring compliance with data retention and security policies. The scope really depends on the specific needs and objectives of our business such as the type and amount of data to be backed up, how frequent and the duration of backup operations, the location and format of backup storage, the recovery point objective and recovery time objective for data recovery and the level of automation and testing for backup and recovery processes.
