Does what is says on the tin "if it came in a tin"

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 Our company replaced an outdated software with Veeam and are pleased with the results that we have seen even in just a few months we have been using their service.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

approx 500 servers This is about what we expected when we purchased the product which has changed incrementally over the last few years as we move to a cloud based environment and decommission old servers, we have had to increase our licencing number on 2 occasions previously The compression of jobs has allowed us to increase this amount with our existing hardware

We used to use a couple of other solutions prior to veeam, these were direct to server or tape backups, they were clunky, slow and difficult to manage and took a lot of time to manage Under Veeam the process is automated, the feature set has improved significantly over each version without additional costs Experience before and after is night and day, Veeam has made backups managable and controllable

We have recently implemented our cloud functionality and will be looking to expand this to more devices in the coming weeks/months Overall setup was easy to do, however, on Blob storage having to use scale-out repositories rather than a standard copy over off a job seems an overly complicated and unnecessary way to do it, however once implemented the backup works well

File share backup solution is quick/simple however rarely used since we have implemented other tools such as shadow copies File restores in the past have recovered critical data due to accidental deletion or on one occasion a malware attack on our file server We were able to recover files quickly and efficiently to minimise loss of work for our staff

look at a few more competitors

Yes, most if not all of the functions and features are self intuitive and can be learnt via guides over training

Don't run too many jobs at once, we stagger them to complete one after the other

no, price

On most occasions if there was a major issue with the software they would respond to a support call within the hour, often talk through over the phone or via a zoom call and issues were resolved quickly and efficiently
