Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
The Veeam backup is used in my organization for disaster purpose. The data are about 30TB.
Pros
- Live backup while the system is running
- Easy to restore to original or to other places
- Good reputation
Cons
- Human interface is not intuitive
- License management is not easy
- Technical support is not helpful
- 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
- 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)
- License portability as your environment needs change
About 30 TB of data in virtual and phsical workloads are currently protected by Veeam. It is within my expectation.
- With Veeam, we feel safe
- With Veeam, migration is easier
- Veeam is not good in human machine interface
