Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
Veeam is leveraged as a disaster recovery tool primarily for VMWare. I've also used Veeam to recover lost files and folders.
Pros
- Veeam file/folder instant recovery.
- On-prem Disaster Recovery of VMWare server instances.
- Veeam also helps with Off-Prem backups.
Cons
- At this time the platform performs everything I need in my environment.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- NAS filers
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
- Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- Automating test restores to validate recoverability
- Integration with cyber-security tools for SecureRestore
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- Accessing data for data mining or re-use of backup copies via API
- Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
I don't want to disclose how many we have, but suffice it to say that what we are backing up is protected well via Veeam.
- On numerous occasions, the backup has helped me restore files quickly and efficiently.
- The product has helped me tabletop DR processes from local backups.
- The product has helped me tabletop DR processes from remote backups.
Being hired and bringing my experiences gained at the 2023 Miami, FL, Veeam conference to the agency was the triggering event that allowed me to reorganize and deploy Veeam in an improved way.
We are a Federal Agency and are only now starting to explore the Cloud environment for our data.
I have leveraged Veeam and Synology for local and replicated off-prem locations across the Pacific Region.
I'm a Veeam guy. The best and only VMWare backup tools I've used have been Veeam products.
