Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Veeam is our go-to for backup and disaster recovery. Veeam Backup and Recovery allows us to maintain data availability and aid us in achieving mandated recovery metrics outlined in our Business Impact Assessment.
  • 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
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • 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)
  • Veeam integrates with VMWare for seamless data backup and recovery operations
  • Veeam is easy to use and intuitive for our system administrators
  • Veeam supports hardware level snapshots on our SAN
  • Veeam supports AES encryption which is FIPS compliant
  • Veeam replication across sites is complicated and so far we haven't been able to implement it.

Our virtual workloads have been steadily increasing over the past 10 years. Some policy restrictions have prevented us from migrating to the cloud and leveraging Veeam there.
  • We are non profit so it is hard to gauge ROI
  • Veeam has been helpful with a few recoveries that have taken place
  • Knowing our data is encrypted at rest gives us the peice of mind that our data is secure
We were compelled to move to Veeam because our previous backup and disaster recovery solution was completely tape based. This compounded efforts to meet RTO and RPO requirements. Moving to the 3-2-1 rule with Veeam has provided us with a high degree of assurance assurance that our data availability is maintained.
We are not currently leveraging any cloud solutions in conjunction with Veeam.
Our file servers are all backed up and Veeam allows indexed retrievability for files and folders.
Supports encryption, integrates with VMWare/Vcenter. Ideal for VMware shops.
Veeam supports many well known hardware vendors for SAN and tape backup.
Offsite replication has been a challenge to implement and we are considering alternate solutions.
While relatively costly we feel that safeguarding data availability it is worth the expense.
