"Granular-level backup is difficult."

"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."
