Our prior solution was retiring and moving to a new platform, which was costly and didn't have the original feature sets we were looking for.
We do not use Veeam's cloud capabilities.
File level restores and rollbacks for file-shares are very easy, and we use this feature all the time. However, it is disappointing that Veeam charges extra for these backups.
