This flexibility ensures that users can store their data redundantly across different platforms, enhancing data protection strategies.

Restoring Large SQL Tables: Several users have found the process of restoring large SQL tables cumbersome due to size limitations, resulting in challenges when managing extensive database backups. This limitation affects their workflow efficiency and adds complexity to the restoration process.

Notifications Importance: Some reviewers feel that notifications lack significance and suggest customizable configurations for better user control over the relevance and urgency of alerts. The perceived lack of importance hampers their ability to prioritize tasks effectively based on the notifications received.

Learning Curve with Backup Interface: Users have experienced a learning curve with the backup interface, noting initial difficulties but ultimately finding it manageable over time as they become more familiar with the software's features and functionalities. This learning curve implies an adjustment period that may impact productivity during the initial stages of using the backup interface.

Innovative Uses
  • From all the backup software we use, Veeam is the only one that can actually work correctly with auto eject scripts. Meaning once you have an "offsite" backup to an external drive, and the job complete, it simply ejects the drive, making it inaccessible from normal windows view once done, adding a good layer of hardening on your backups, incorporating that with backup encryption, it is a win-win
  • SureBakcup testing for customers who requires, adding more compliancy and integrity to the backups.
  • Cloud repositories, eliminating the human aspect completely when it comes to data protection

Great solution for backups
