So far our company has mostly stayed in on premise workloads. We did try our Office 365 backups with Veeam Data Platform, and they worked well, but decided to go in different direction with that.

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.

Why I use Veeam.

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.

Veeam Data Platform is the Swiss Army Knife of backup platforms!

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.

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.

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.

Veeam is a great all around backup and replication solution!

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 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

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

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.

Easy to use and future proof!

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.

Veeam Data Platform for me has been awesome on multiple levels!

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!

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.

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.

Veeam - amazing product!

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.

Happy with Veeam Data Platform

Personally, I have had an excellent experience with Veeam Data Platform. Immutable backups are an important feature that we use. The ability to restore an on premises server to the cloud is also a great feature. I had some issues getting email notifications to work, but I was able to figure it out.

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.
