In my organization, NSW Health, Veeam Data Platform is used for data backup, recovery, and protection. It helps prevent data loss, minimize downtime, and ensure data availability across various healthcare-related systems and environments, including virtualized, physical, and cloud-based workloads. This is crucial for maintaining critical healthcare services and safeguarding patient data. Veeam also supports disaster recovery and multi-cloud data management within the scope of NSW Health's IT infrastructure.
  • Efficient Backup and Recovery
  • Cloud Integration
  • Application-Aware Backups
  • Cross-Platform Recovery
  • Monitoring and Reporting
Well-Suited Scenarios:
Virtualized Environments: Veeam excels in VMware and Hyper-V environments, providing efficient backup and recovery with minimal impact on production workloads.
- Hybrid Cloud Environments: Ideal for managing backups across on-premises and cloud infrastructures, Veeam ensures secure, flexible disaster recovery in hybrid settings.
- Large-Scale Enterprises: Veeam’s scalability and centralized management make it perfect for large organizations, streamlining data protection across multiple sites.
- Disaster Recovery Planning: Veeam's instant VM recovery and orchestrated failover are crucial for businesses focused on minimizing downtime during disasters.

Less-Appropriate Scenarios:
- Legacy Tape-Based Backups: Veeam is less suited for organizations reliant on tape storage, as its strengths lie in disk and cloud-based backups.

In our organization, we use Veeam Data Platform to protect our valuable information through data security, data backup, and data freedom. The platform delivers innovative data resiliency built upon three foundational pillars: Data Security, Secure Backup, and Secure Recovery. Veeam gives us confidence in todays risky world of data breaches, malware etc.
  • Recovering Active Directory data in the attribute level
  • Tiered backups to disk, cloud and tape
  • Security inside the product including MFA
I think it is well suited for medium to small business scenarios. Product is easy to use and learn. It has good support for different backup repositories. Product takes security seriosly with builtin MFA, support for immunitabilty of data.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to back up our Virtual Server infrastructure on-premises and also use it to back up to the cloud for disaster recovery. We need the ability to be able to restore both files and also application items like SQL databases. We have up to 3 copies of every server in different locations and Veeam Backup & Replication gives us the option to do this easily. We are currently using the cloud backup as strictly a DR option as we have so many failovers on-premesis.
  • Instant recovery option
  • Quickly add and remove VMs
  • Connects to failover infrastructure
We found Veeam Backup & Replication to be great for backing up virtual servers and that is the only use we have had for it. From what I have seen in my experience, the live restore function doesn't seem to work on a VM more than 4TB in size. It gets to the 4TB and fails every time.

Easiest and most reliable backup product I have ever used.

We are protecting about 100 VMs that have a combined disk capacity of 1 petabyte. Prior to using Veeam, we had difficulty completing file server backups, often running out of time, resulting in us not meeting our SLA. We also had issues with backup repository corruption. This has not been an issue with Veeam.
  • Large volume backups.
  • VM backups.
  • Repository data compression.
Veeam does a great job backing up VMs and provides you with the ability to restore the VMs in a different location. We use it to back up to disk large 50 TB volumes without any issues. We also copy the disk backups tape. The ability to set multiple servers for disk repositories also helps increase network throughput.

We use Veeam Data Platform in many situations, but it is the primary backup platform for all systems in the Asia region. We have also used Veeam Data Platform to migrate VMs over a high latency, low bandwidth WAN circuit. It is been excellent for us in both scenarios. I highly recommend the platform for backing up VMware workloads on premise and in the cloud.
  • Backup multiple platforms.
  • Allow for backup to multiple types of targets.
  • Replicate virtual machines from one location to another or into the cloud.
Veeam Data Platform is best suited in smaller VMware environments with a handful of VMs. It is easy to setup and manage once in place and can do an excellent job of replicating VMs over low bandwidth, high latency WAN circuits. It is also excellent in replicating backups into the cloud. It can become more difficult in large data centers due to the number of proxies.

Veeam can be a complete BDR solution.

Besides normal server backups, one of the most useful aspects of Veeam is the ability to use the prior server as backup hardware. Replication jobs ensure a working copy of the server. This in conjunction with the backup files being off-sited to our location, we have a complete BDR solution.

The lifecycle goes like this. When a server is replaced with new hardware, the old hardware becomes the backup. Seeing as we HAAS most of our clients hardware, we benefit from much longer hardware lifespans.
  • Offsite backups
  • Onsite replication
If done right, Veeam is a BDR killer.

I use Veeam for Backup and Restore virtual and phisical server, is the best software or plataform on this segment. Veeam is very reliable and trust. They just work and is simple to use on single plane of glass.
They have many options for data restore like full VM, instant VM or file restore. When you use Veeam you can´t go back to other solutions because Veeam is very powerfull and simple to use.
  • Backup, Restore
  • Replication
  • Many plataform are supported for backup and restore
  • Hybrid implementation and scale easly
  • File level restore
  • Instant VM recovery
  • Convert phisical server to virtual using backup and restore metod
Today all Veeam component cant be deploy on full Linux envirioment and Veeam One, Veeam DR Orchestrator only use Microsoft SQL Server database, this is a big limitation because i need buy a sql license to remove the limitation of 10gb database in sql express.
Veeam is very easy to scale and grow, and is the best software for backup and recovery any one can use because is very intuitive. So for a tiny company or a big and multi national enterprise Veeam is the best choice for every scenario.

We use it for backups and replication of new clusters - daily backups, tape backups, and backups of remote sites. We typically use this to restore file level deletions that may happen by accident and that has been our bread and butter for our backup and restore process that has been very helpful to our end users.
  • Recovery!
  • Replication!
  • Usability
  • File Level Restore
  • Ability to make system tunings
Restoring full VMs is excellent. I think in the event of a total disaster - Veeam may not be able to handle running everything but that has yet to be seen. That being said - I think veeam has been able to accomodate almost every scenario we've come across and we are very pleased.

We use Veeam to backup our entire organizations data that cannot be easily retrievable or restored otherwise. This includes shared files and documents, entire VMs of domain controllers and other servers and even a few various full computer images for machines that need to be set up in a very specific way. Not every employee in a non-profit industry such as this is incredibly tech savvy. Couple that with the fact that as a non-profit, we generally cannot afford to keep all of our technology on the cutting edge, sometimes things happen and files get lost, or deleted, or corrupted. Veeam has made it a breeze for me to restore those files, systems or virtual machines with the click of a couple of buttons. This saves potentially weeks or months of work being lost due to a small mistake or a large catastrophic failure. And with the replication feature, it's easy to save multiple copies of the backed up files, as well as keep multiple iterations of the backups going back a specific amount of time. This software has saved my life (and quite possibly my job) dozens of times over the years and I am extremely pleased at having made the decision to move to it when I did.
  • Virtual Machine restores. Whether a full over-write, being moved to a new location, or a live restore, it's quick and easy.
  • Ease of browsing for individual files that may need to be restored due to a minor mistake.
  • Very easy to test restores to make sure everything is still working.
If you need relatively easy to setup and forget backups to go to multiple places, this is the best bet, hands down. If you need to get into things a little more complicated, it can get tricky as you will most likely have to turn to the internet to figure out exactly how something needs to be done.

The use of Veeam Software is mostly for the backup of bare servers and workstations, with the possibility for versioning and the use of deduplication.
It's very simply to use and the most import part is that the recovery works
  • Restoring Capability
  • Deduplication
  • Easy
The Veeam Software is versatility in nature, it could be use standalone, at home, for backup up the personal computer to an external storage device.
And it could be use at very large enterprise with great volume and workload of backups

Veeam has proven to be a fairly intuitive backup software that is much easier to use than some competing products. The software is user-friendly and is incredibly helpful in file recovery situations that require fast resolution. Our company replaced an outdated software with Veeam and are pleased with the results that we have seen even in just a few months we have been using their service. Veeam Back & Replication is our enterprise-wide backup product. We use it to backup all of our production servers, running Windows and Linux. We also use it to backup Oracle and SQL Databases and a number of other applications that are critical to our organization's needs. Both locally and at our remote sites. We have recently implemented Cloud storage in which the ability to do so was included within our current pricing model
  • Quick Backups
  • Easy to configure
  • Good Support & Training modules
Had a number of server failures that we have used Veeam to restore, this has been a simple vm recovery process where downtime had to be kept to the minimum, and restores complete successfully and we were able to get back to production Guest file restore while it is a common use, is easily overshadowed (no pun intended) by shadow copies, an integrated solution into windows file servers with the same features would be interesting too see

Veeam Data Platform serves our need for maintaining backups of our systems and facilitating the recovery of those systems should a Disaster Recovery situation arise. The wide variety of recovery options allows us to recover full systems down to individual files that a user accidentally deletes or becomes corrupted.
  • Elastic recovery to recover only what is needed whether it's a single file or a full system/servers
  • Allow for immutable storage
  • Integration with virtual platforms and some SAN providers directly
I think Veeam Data Platform is a great platform for almost all businesses. The only businesses that I would not recommend it for are small businesses that may not have an IT staff to manage the solution or don't have enough infrastructure to justify the expense of an Enterprise grade solution. In those cases I would recommend either a managed solution or a simple backup solution.

We use Veeam to backup our physical storage/website servers and planning to expand it also to VMs. Being able to create bootable media for the restore process is a big plus in case of hardware failure and using Veeam Backup & Replication will help also to restore physical servers into VMs. The Managementment application allows it with a very easy-to-use interface to manage backup jobs and monitor their progress and failures. In addition to the "on-demand" monitoring, we also integrated the Veeam job results into our check_mk based monitoring to have instant notifications in case a backup job didn't complete successfully. With the ongoing development of Veeam, they also rolled out a lot of interesting features with the latest V11 to backup databases (Oracle / MS SQL).
  • Easy to use front end to manage Backup jobs efficiently and review problems during job execution
  • Restore capabilities of physical servers to VMs or other physical machines with ease (including bootable media)
  • Snapshot support and restoring them with just a couple of mouse clicks
We like the restore options from physical servers to VM's which saves a lot of time to replace legacy hardware with future-proof VMs. Driver and legacy boot issues are easily resolved with the tools Veeam provides. Not so good is the support of non-natively supported DBMS like MariaDB (MySQL natively supported). If more DBMS would be supported it would make it easier for customers with not so mainstream databases.

I use Veeam Data Platform to backup multiple VMs on multiple servers to a NAS and then out to a cloud repository for another level of protection. Veeam Data Platform is very easy to setup and to administer. They also have very good technical support. To say the least, I am very happy with Veeam Data Platform. It would have been nice if I had found them (or they found me) years ago but I am glad we are partnered now.
  • Backs up VMs
  • Moves backed up VMs from NAS to cloud backup partner
  • Monitoring / reporting of successes and failures of all actions
I do not know about less appropriate but as far as well suited, Veeam Data Platform does an outstanding job with VM backup and restoration. Early on I had need to rebuild a server with four VMs and I was relying on Veeam Data Platform to come through and oh boy did it! Restoration was only a few clicks and quicker than I could have ever hoped for. If I had Veeam Data Platform / this version anyway some years ago, it would have paid for itself tenfold. My message to anyone with VMs: Get Veeam Data Platform!

We use VEEAM for backing up our virtual machines as well as physical machines using VEEAM Agent. We also make use of the "Backup copy" to get the opportunity to take air-gapped backups. Additionally we suffer from a small bandwith compared to the machine sizes. VEEAM does do a good job compressing backups.
  • Central platform for all device backups.
  • Possibilities to perform a fast restore of data and machines.
  • Create a test environment out of a production environment easily on demand.
  • Data compression
  • Postgres database
  • Easy migration between servers
Even for small companies VEEAM offers a great all in one solution for most of our scenarios, e.g. getting some machines backed up over an internet connection with 100 MBit/s without blocking the whole connection. The restore of a specific data file is well implemented even a restore of files based on a linux system are possible on windows. Now using a postgres database you have a database with a smaller footprint compared to MSSQL.

We use Veeam Data Platform for Microsoft Windows as our backup solution for our Windows servers. It is extremely stress free to setup and we check the control panel every other day to determine how long backups are taking, if backups are successful, and if there is a new version of the software. Our previous backup solution was extremely buggy and we could not depend on it.
  • Easy to install and setup
  • Dependable backup solution
  • Easy to maintain
If one wants a dependable, well supported backup solution for Windows servers and workstations, Veeam Data Platform for Windows is the perfect solution instead of dealing with buggy, resource hog backup solutions.

We use Veeam Data Platform for our server backups. Both whole OS backups and file server file system backups. We had been using Microsoft's DPM but it kept giving us issues so we switched even though DPM was included in our System Center subscription.
  • Integrates well with 3rd party cloud backups particularly Wasabi which is very cost effective.
  • Allows you to send secondary backups to multiple locations like other disk, cloud, etc.
  • Sends good reporting emails when there is a failure.
  • Their tech support has been much more helpful and knowledgeable than Microsoft's was for DPM.
I think it's important to go with something proven and reliable since backups are so critical to any organization's health.

We use Veeam Data Platform Backup and Replication for server backups and replicas. We have nightly backups and archiving setup for each server. We also have some archives being sent to an off-site NAS. We also use the Veeam ONE Monitor software to keep track of each of our server's resources. We get alerted for any errors and warnings via email. All of the software is integrated via VMware Vsphere.

Veeam Data Platform is great for any company using VMware and looking for a cheap software. The cost of the software and maintenance is a major selling point for our company. Veeam Data Platform, at least the version we have, would be less appropriate for a very large company. In my opinion, a larger company would benefit from something a little more robust and a quicker setup.

We recently implemented VEEAM to backup all of our physical and virtual servers. It addresses our auditor's needs.
  • Restores to virtual machine fairly quickly.
  • It sends us malware reports.
It is well suited for backing up data and restoring it, but sure backup could use some attention. It is a good idea, but we have been having issues with it and support is not very helpful in my opinion.

We use it to back up servers at regular intervals and for on demand backups before performing upgrades to roll back from in the event of failure. We regularly test our backups and have had the "opportunity" to restore from backups numerous times and never had any failed recoveries. We've also run servers directly from their backup images and transitioned them, live, back to production.
  • Backups
  • Managing those backups/scheduled tasks
  • Restoring from backups
  • Running backups live from those backups
  • Software support is great; the few times we've ever needed them they've pulled through
We have a small deployment with a handful of physical hosts and two dozen or so virtual servers. It's been a perfect fit for us to manage all those backups and to restore entire systems from or even pull specific files/folders from a backup as needed if just a few things need changed/rolled back.

We use it to back up all of our VMWare Virtual Machines to 3 separate backup repository. This allows up to restore files that have accidentally been deleted. The main business problems the product addresses, though, is disaster recovery and ransomware protection. We have also used Veeam Data Platform to migrate VMs from 1 set of VMWare hosts to another.
  • Ease of recovery with file level restores.
  • Application aware backups for Exchange and SQL servers.
  • Ability to set backup windows and schedule backups based on other backups finishing.
Veeam Data Platform is ideal for doing full virtual machine backups from VMWare to an external repository. It also supports cloud backups. I like that it has the ability to easily backup to external hard drives for air-gapped backups. Natively support using Linux for backup proxies and immutable backups. Also can be used for bare metal backups with additional license.
