The ability to perform exchange restores.
Veeam Backup & Replication ReviewI retired Backup Exec, and added Veeam in place of it. This increased the backup scope and reduced tape usage.
Valuable Features
Improvements to My Organization
Surebackup allows verification of the backup. This provides a higher level of confidence.
Use of Solution
I've used it for two years.
Deployment Issues
No issues encountered.
Stability Issues
If there is a communication interruption (ping drops) between the proxy and the Veeam server, the backup fails.
Scalability Issues
No issues encountered.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer Service:
It's excellent.
Technical Support:It's just below excellent.
Previous Solutions
We previously used Backup Exec and ArcServe. These companies are too big to care even for their own products.
Initial Setup
It depends on the organizations structure and level of optimization.
Implementation Team
It was an in-house implementation.
ROI
Just recently, I retired Backup Exec, and added Veeam v8. This increased the backup scope by 30% and reduced tape usage by 70%
Other Solutions Considered
No, but the pricing was key.
Other Advice
Try it. Spend maybe one hour a week on the phone with their engineer to tweak things before buying. The product practically sells itself.

Not sure why your backups fail with the Proxies but I have never had that issue. We have a physical Veeam server and 1 Proxy per host which works great for SAN based backups. Check with Support on that.
