Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We work with a large amount of data and its critical that it be backed up with a local copy as well as an offsite copy. Veeam Data Platform allows us to set retention policy’s on our backup jobs without having do much more than click a box and tell how long we want to keep the backups for. We also make use of CDP to an offsite datacenter so in the case of a disaster we can spin up the VM’s there and continue to operate.

Pros

  • CDP
  • Replication
  • Backup Copies
  • Retention

Cons

  • Easier reporting without Veeam one
  • 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
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
27. This is more that what we anticipated. We recently added 10 more licenses to cover new needs.
  • Ease of replicating VM’s across datacenters
  • Ability to roll back a vm quickly in the event of corruption
I have used many backup products in the past that were commercial and free. Veeam Data Platform takes the guessing away and brings everything to a single interface. I am excited for what is coming down the road with Veeam Data Platform with high availability appliances. They are really listening to customers needs going forward.
The previous products I used did the job but not elegantly. Veeam Data Platform made it easy to install and configure. Our backups are tested using sureback and verified daily. I don’t anticipate looking for another product for awhile.
