It is very easy to work with.
You want to ensure that the capability to perform restores is available, and we were able to restore with the Linux agent without any issues.
We used the agent to perform backups that were written directly to tape, bypassing the disk, and we were able to retrieve the data directly from the tape or perform local restores.
The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.
With Veeam, end-users can even perform their own recoveries, but we did not have that feature enabled, as all backups and restores were handled by the IT operations team.

The ASM backup features are the most valuable. Some other backup solutions take ASM, and when you restore it, sometimes there are some missing files.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console. It enables us to manage Veeam Agent. It is quite easy to use if we use the solution directly on the Linux system.

The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days. Here in Saudi Arabia, the market mentality is a bit different. Many customers are still running physical environments. They do not have virtual environments and they're not really keen towards going towards the virtual environment.
They always want to back up their systems every day. In the event of a disaster, they want to be able to restore in less than an hour, which is impossible on a physical environment, due to a lot of constraints, such as networking and other issues. However, Windows gives a feature that if you have a Hyper-V environment, for example, added to the Veeam backup infrastructure, you can choose to restore a backup of a physical server instantly into Hyper-V. The way that works is that they mount the backup to the Hyper-V as storage and just boot it up directly from the backup. That is an amazing feature, and it actually was useful for one customer, whose IT manager was pretty old. He didn't want to migrate his infrastructure to VMware or any virtualized platforms. He was looking for a way to backup these physical servers and at the event, he has a disaster, he'll be able to restore in time.
So that feature doesn't just help with restoring that server in no time inside a Hyper-V server or cluster. It also helps migration for customers who are trying to migrate from physical to virtual or from physical to cloud. The good part is that you can actually restore any backup to Microsoft Azure as well, or to Amazon AWS, almost instantaneously. As long as your bandwidth is sufficient enough, you can restore your workloads to the cloud or to a virtual environment.
That is not to mention the flexibility provided, as it gives you the ability to perform the three to one rule, which is the really necessary part of any backup solution. Being able to have a solution that will help you achieve the three to one rule. The rule basically means having three different backup copies of your data, inside two different mediums. For example, one disc-based storage and one tape or cloud, keeping one copy offsite. I prefer offline because offline backups are the latest backups in terms of a cyber attack, ransomware, or advanced malware attack.

Generally, Veeam is very robust. It's completely compatible with Linux. The most valuable feature in Veeam is its compatibility with VMware. The solution provides a lot of features, including backing up of images. You can restore VM itself. You can also restore a single file. There's a feature called instant recovery. You can run VMware in the background without restoring it. It's a very valuable backup solution.

The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine. Once you start working with the physical Linux machine, it's not compatible, and it doesn't work. Don't even try it.
