Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

This solution is primarily utilized to create secure backups of our various system-critical Hyper-V virtual machines, ensuring that all essential data, configurations, and system states are preserved. This backup process is crucial for safeguarding against potential data loss, system failures, or any unforeseen disruptions that could impact the functionality and availability of our virtualized infrastructure.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Integrates well with other vendors

Cons

  • More indepth error reporting
  • Issues that do arrise can be more easily solvable within software.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • 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
  • NAS filers
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
We have three different dedicated Hyper-V servers that we primarily use the tool to backup.
  • Product has functioned as expected in scenarios where hardware has failed
  • Good peace of mind. Able to implement good backup strategy.
Needing a more robust backup solution that would be supported long term.
We currently backup to Wasabi for our cloud backups and have at least once needed to restore from long term storage. This has worked as intended.
We have not used this particular capability.
I prefer Veeams compatibility and featureset. I find the interface more intiutive.
