Veeam Backup & Replication Review

Veeam allowed us to use just one backup solution. It allows us to restore of single objects when the vm is mounted.

What is most valuable?

Deduplication, built-in wan accelerators, advanced monitoring, backup copy and tape drive integration, explorer for MS exchange, and replication feature.

How has it helped my organization?

We used to have many backup solutions for different purposes but Veeam allowed us to use just one backup solution to backup our vms and due to the granularity of the system, it allows us to restore of single objects when the vm is mounted.

Currently VEEAM doesnt back up VMs with physical raw device mappings.

2 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

How was the initial setup?

It was a simple click to install after reading the configuration guide and following it accordingly.

What about the implementation team?

I implemented it in-house.

Overall it is a good investment in that it has saved us the cost of maintaining different backup solutions within our environment.

Highlights
Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure.
Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data.
Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer.
It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues.
It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days.
We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work.
Very flexible, all-in-one solution.
