Veeam Backup & Replication Benefits

It allows us to perform instant recovery for SIM machines. This means that we can quickly install the configuration and check whether the machine is operational or not. This efficient process allows us to assess the status and decide to proceed or make necessary adjustments. Unlike traditional methods that may take up to two hours for restoration, our instant recovery feature enables us to recover in as little as five minutes, providing a prompt evaluation of the machine's functionality.
In terms of backup installation and business continuity, VM has been invaluable. There was a time when we had an issue with one of our systems, and Veeam became unavailable. This particular Azure machine is utilized in about six or seven countries. All I had to do was log into my Veeam account in that location, activate the Continuity and Recovery (CR) feature, and everyone could resume working. It involved changing the IP address or the capabilities of the application server since the assessment is based on the application server's availability in another location. The IP addresses would vary.
So, I informed the application department to make the necessary modifications, and they immediately restarted the system for use.

Veeam Backup & Replication has most definitely improved our organization because it saves the IT a lot of headache.
I used to work for a company that provided Backup/DR as a service to its clients we had to look at various backup and recovery tools to quickly and easily bring back customers data. Before Veeam introduced the backup to tape and WAN acceleration features we were using 3 different products across a number of our clients to provide the required services. After those feature releases, we just used one tool through a single console (the infamous single-pane-of-glass) which reduced the complexity and management overheads within our solutions but also provided our customers with a far greater level of service and reliability.

Previously, we had to manage the tapes and backups locally. When we needed to restore data, we needed to ask for people in the branch offices to insert the tapes and manage everything manually. When we deployed this solution, we no longer had to contact people on-site, to make these actions happen.

It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery.
It also has helped them as it plugs into just about any cloud. They can not only have backup and recovery but have a disaster recovery plan as well. It really just takes the heavy burden of backup and recovery disaster recovery off of customers and streamlines it.

It has decreased downtime issues. By using replication, we decreased our downtime for crashed servers and having other service/system issues.
It is very simple and fast to power-on a replicated server, making it come online again.
To us the ability to restore an entire VM for Development and User Acceptance Testing is invaluable the need to Develop continues to grow and Veeam supplies us the ability to manage this seamlessly. Utilizing the de-duplication and compression built into Veeam we are able to keep backup longer and have the ability to perform more frequent backups.

It has improved my organization by 90%. Now we can restore a single box with all of its folder contents. We could install one email, one folder or one lead and it could have still one email. This has helped us a lot. Before we used to store the entire database and then we would go to the single mailbox we need to use and we could restore it. Now we could do it instantly whereas it used to take three to four days.

Veeam Backup & Replication is far more dynamic as far as being able to generate backup jobs. We used to use a product called NetWorker, and at the time the version of NetWorker we had would not back up to the cloud. I think it does now, but we're not using it anymore. But at the time, NetWorker was fairly new and it was just a tape backing up the disc. So Veeam is far better dealing with virtual environments and the cloud as targets. The capability with Veeam is just there.

By using the “Instant VM Recovery”, we test new patches or features on a VM, which is the same as our production environment.
View full review »Veeam does its job well. However, there are more than a dozen commonsense items which should have been built into the software, such as being able to sort the column of server names while in a backup job and being able to see what VMs are already in a job when you add a new server.

In Feb of 2014 in Columbus, Ohio there was a major Power Failure downtown that was the result of a gas explosion of the corner of our Data Center. Entire Data Center was offline for a week. (Catastrophic Event could be classified as a Disaster). With a proper configuration of this product we were able to restore the Hyper-V Infrastructure to our 2nd Data Center and restore functionality to about 20 Hospitals and Imaging centers around the state of Ohio.

Veeam has saved us many hours retrieving deleted files as well as testing backups. Our old backup solution was getting to the point where we could not go more than a couple of days without backups failing. With Veeam we have not had any time where backups did not run. We also have been able to run since January 2014 with no “failed” backups.

Since we completely control the backup environment, we’re able to have onsite backups, offsite backup copies, an archive, and even replication all through one interface.

Today’s rapid pace of technological innovation is forcing your digital and physical worlds to collide – and it’s also transforming the way you operate, regardless of your industry. This digital transformation can either make or break your business. Because, in the digital world, your customers expect 24/7/365 Availability.
For today’s enterprises, this means that expectations for SLAs for data and application uptime can be revolutionized. You no longer need to be constrained by the RTPOs of hours or days of legacy solutions – you can think in minutes or seconds instead – for all applications, data, and workloads on-premises or in the cloud.
Veeam Backup & Replication provides an improvement in this framework
View full review »It ensures the security of the stored data. It saves time for recovery and disk space.
View full review »There’s not much a backup software can do to the organization but its features enable us to have an inexpensive data recovery solution that ultimately plays a factor when choosing to move applications and services to the cloud.

With the multiple facets of potential data compromise (ie: Virus, Ransomware, employee mistake, etc., etc.) and or destruction, educating our customers on the inexpensive options that can provide quick remediation to inevitable outages that could be extremely detrimental to business continuity.

- We use copies struck to one server by Veeam and make it replication-to-replication.
- We use Veeam for replication-to-replication virtual machines.
With Veeam Backup & Replication, data is secure and strongly stored to replication machines. If we consider the IT systems and infrastructure, then Veeam is making us environmentally friendly.
We are not taking more human resources to take manual back-up systems. With Veeam, we are not taking manual copies to offline or online backup. This is not necessary.
Also, we are reducing the maintenance cost for hardware because of not deploying more than required for our infrastructure.
Veeam helps us on data confidentiality using a simple file transfer. The set of file systems in our data is open, but when we use Veeam, we just make an image, a compact file. Nobody can open it and no one can keep it.
The ransomware and other exploits cannot attack this file. Veeam optimizes our cost for recovering files and data. In this way, Veeam Backup & Replication is a help to our company.

This makes life easier for all IT professionals by ensuring a reliable and hassle-free backup and replication solution, and thus it is reliable business IT.

In term of cost saving, it does reflect the justification made to the management to invest on Veeam B&R rather than build a redundant high availability in either Virtualize or physical environment which is costly to manage and maintain. With IVR, you can also improve your recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) by bringing up the VM within a short period of time, thus minimizing the troubleshooting duration.

We specifically chose to partner with Veeam for a number of technical and commercial reasons. These include its rich feature set coupled with ease-of-use, strong roadmap, roadmap delivery history, simple and predictable licensing model, channel model, and deep integration with NetApp Integrated Data Protection features.
