- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware

We were using Veeam Cloud with a 3rd party Datacenter to backup our VMWare Horizon Environment. When we got off the cloud due to Vendor problems, we switched to this product to keep the design flow going onsite.
Will be adopting a Hybrid Cloud / Onsite solution to maintain Data at both locations for onsite and offsite users.
We do not use it for file-share backups
