Veeam Backup & Replication Review

Instant recovery of an entire VM, as there are times when I need to do it.

We no longer use tapes. The restoration of files, email and entire servers have been reduced to mere minutes instead of hours or days, which it was at times.

Support for physical servers. Although we are continuing to virtualize all of our servers; there are, at this time, a few physical servers in our organization. They must be backed up as well. Currently, we have to use another vendor to backup these servers.

I’ve been using Veeam Backup and Replication for about two years now.

No issues encountered.

None so far and I don’t expect to have any issues with stability in the future.

For our organization, it has scaled exceptionally well.

They have taken care of our needs, and been there each step of the way for us, so I would rate it as exceptional.

We have not had to place many calls with technical support. You could say this fact says a lot about the stability and ease of deployment. There have been a few times we have called and each time our issue was resolved in a very reasonable time frame. The engineers are very knowledgeable, not only of their product, but also of the platform & hypervisor that we use in our datacenter.

Yes we did. Agents and licensing were getting too cumbersome and performance was not where we felt it should be.

It was straightforward,

We did it in-house.

Lets just say that Veeam B&R met or exceeded what the competition provided.

Do your homework. Run a demo of the software. And for any backup solutions remember the three “P’s”. Plan, Plan and Plan
