Fast data recovery for large scale datasets

The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."

"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."

"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."

"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."

"Its backup capabilities in general are great."

"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."

"The tool's stability is good."

"The most important part is that you actually know you have a backup of the whole virtual server."

"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."

"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."

"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."

"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."

"I would like them to move back to host licensing."

"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."

"There should be better use of the external hard drives."

"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."

"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price is pretty cheap for our market."

"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."

"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."

"The product is competitively priced."

"They could work at providing a better price."
