Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform Foundation

Veeam provides an all in one backup appliance for Hyper-V and physical servers. Veeam Backup and Replication powered daily, hourly, and CDP backups for all servers within four data centers globally. The ingress of all servers into a single platform with egress to almost limitless destinations is the best feature of the product.

  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • License portability as your environment needs change
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability

  • Speed of recovery testing

Lack of on premise UI from previous solution. All backups were controlled by a web interface which would be lost if internet access to the data center was lost.
We do not utilize the cloud recovery features.
We did not use the NAS backup features.
Any environment which is a mix of virtualized and physical workloads with client devices which are needed to be backed up. Veeam has one of the easiest interfaces to learn and consume the various systems into one easy to use platform. Portability when testing and recovering from backup is also key.
