Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Data Platform to backup our in-house servers, corporate desktops and laptops, and virtualization guests. Veeam Data Platform is also connected to S3-compatible storage where we can replicate on-site backups to immutable cloud storage. The routine backups and notifications have been a huge "life saver" more than once and the backup and restore notifications mean I'm not constantly checking the software interface to see what's happening.

Pros

  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Simple recovery process
  • Restore to bare-metal or VM

Cons

  • "Slimmed down" version for SMBs
  • Better automation for self-updates
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
We're currently protecting around 150 workloads, including both virtual and physical servers and desktops. Our internal infrastructure has remained moderately consistent since acquiring Veeam Data Platform, and the workload is what I expected when implementing Veeam Data Platform's backup solutions.
  • Minimized down-time to a matter of minutes for deleted or damaged files
Our previous backup provider was unable to handle the dynamic workloads of a changing number of endpoints along with the variety of remote and off-site devices. Veeam Data Platform has been an incredible change for the positive compared to our old backup solution.
We are using Veeam Data Platform to keep some backups in immutable cloud storage for ransomware recovery scenarios. We are not using the fully functionality of backing up private cloud infrastructure from services like Google, AWS, and Microsoft.

We've had some trouble backing up remote devices and laptops that need to connect over the internet, but the overall experience has been positive. In the few cases where we've needed to contact support, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable.
