Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform Foundation

For a test environment I needed to do backups every day to prevent data loss. The setup was easy to understand and the documentation helped me a lot. With the community edition you can't use the same source workstation twice. And i only wanted to backup two disks and that separately, it didn't work so I backup the whole workstation..
