Helps me sleep at night

We use VDP to back up all of our virtual and physical servers at our main corporate datacenter and also at 12 regional facilities. We also replicate critical workloads between datacenters for quick disaster recovery. VeeamOne and Veeam Enterprise Manager are important tools to help us manage all of these backups and provide reporting.

We are backing up around 375 workloads. It's a bit less than we anticipated because we had somewhat of a lack of visibility in our international datacenters prior to unifying our global backup strategy under Veeam. We just had a hodge podge of different backup systems set up by our regional IT staff. Now everything is centrally managed.

Fortunately, our company did not have any disaster event that triggered our interest in Veeam. I think it was a growing frustration with dealing with the expense and complication of dealing with a massive library of tapes and their rotation offsite, and a lack of confidence that the correct tapes would be able to get retrieved quickly in a disaster situation. Now we backup to local immutable storage and offload to cloud storage. It is a breeze in comparison to juggling tapes, and I can sleep better at night.

We protect our workloads by backing up immediately to cloud so that we get a copy of our data offsite. Cloud backups are immutable for a set number of days. We also solved a data retention issue for our compliance team by archiving backups to cloud for 5 years.

We are not currently using these features but only because we don't have any data on NAS to back up. Everything is on Windows VM file shares, which we back up directly.
