Veeam is a great data protection platform for Offline/Immutable Backups

We utilize Veeam to create nightly backups of all of our server infrastructure as part of our layered approach to backing up our data. First we utilize a different product to create real time replication between our datacenters. Then we utilize Veeam to create nighttime full/incremental backups and copy them down to a local storage device in an immutable state. From there Veeam allows us to replicate those backups up to another storage device in the office where the IT staff are based out of so we can copy those files to offline disks. We then rotate those offline disks in order to airgap them and store them in safes offsite. Veeam is an essential component in our data backup strategy because it allows us to create immutable backups locally and then airgap our offline backups so that no matter what type of incident happens we have a way to fully recover our data and server infrastructure and getting running again as quickly as possible.

We protect about 70 virtual workloads and 2 physical workloads currently in our infrastructure. We have gradually grown in our needs for workload protection over the years and adding additional licensing has been pretty easy and straightforward when the need has arisen.

We utilized a different backup product before that had poor reliability and was difficult to use. We demoed Veeam as we were investigating alternatives to the previous product and we quickly came to like how easy it was to use and to setup. We were able to stand up and test the backup process within the same day and we quickly decided that Veeam was the product that would best suit our needs.

We do not currently have cloud infrastructure beyond SaaS so we don't utilize Veeam's cloud backup capabilities.

We do not currently utilize this feature within Veeam.
