Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform for production backups, our long-term backups to DR site, and our offload to the cloud. The only real issues that we haven’t brought upon ourselves would be synchronization between on premise and the cloud.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- License portability as your environment needs change
- Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Instant Recovery has many great use cases
- Capacity tier offloads with immutability
- License portability, remove license from protected workload and add back later if needed.
- Support could be stronger on first touch. The need to escalate and wait has been experienced through the years. Reluctance to come “take a look” and the time it takes to gather logs is extensive.

2000 virtual workloads, 10 physical. This is in line with our anticipations.
- 100s of hours saved when moving to a new datacenter, usually in the form of Instant recoveries.
- $1000s of dollars utilizing license portability.
I was not with [...] when they selected Veeam Data Platform so I can only speak on experience with other backup platforms. The option to create back up copy jobs does things that no other vendors offered at the time. The built-in option of offloading back ups to S3 is groundbreaking, and again, started at Veeam Data Platform.
We have greatly benefited from the option to offload to the cloud. When you think of air-gapped backups, and the manual work involved in rotating tapes or physical servers, you can imagine the time savings. No more taking servers off-line for security purposes with the introduction of immutability.
