Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
In my opinion and experience, the setup is very confusing. There are too many steps, locations, etc., to enter simple data such as an Azure storage account. Backup from one storage account to another is not supported. Entra ID backup does not restore the Object ID, leaving orphaned Object IDs when someone is assigned permissions to an object in Azure. Veeam performs backups, but it isn't very clear to set up and requires two virtual machines to back up Azure, versus having an online cloud platform.
Pros
- Backup once setup is completed.
Cons
- Provide a cloud option for cloud only organizations.
- Backup all metadata with Entra ID so object ID can be restored.
- Make setup and maintenance less confusing.
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- None of the above
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
2 storage accounts. It is less than expected, but due to the complex setup.
We used Azure's backup, but switched to Veeam for the audit logs.
Yes, to an extent, but Veeam cannot back up one storage account to another.
