Sandy Tootleman - PeerSpot reviewer
Area Practice Director at ePlus Technology

We primarily back up VMware and Hyper-V, and we have some physical boxes as well, both physical Windows and Linux boxes. We also use the scale-out capability going out to the public cloud. We don't have any NAS devices. So, there's no taking advantage of that. We're not using the instant recovery engine. I believe we use the Veeam ONE software as well. 

We have customers all over the place. They are using the current version and the earlier versions. 

In terms of deployment, it is a combination. In a lot of places, it is deployed in a private cloud environment with more than one site for replication, but we do have other customers that go out to the public cloud for an off-site copy. The cloud providers primarily are AWS and Microsoft Azure.

Associate Manager at Tech Mahindra Limited

In my organization, we use Veeam for both online and on-premises backups for around 200 sites across the globe. All our secondary cloud backups are performed using Amazon Web Services. We first started with version 8.4 which came out about six years ago and we're now currently using version 10.0, with plans to upgrade all our backup infrastructure to version 11.0 in the near future. 

For each site, we have independent and standalone VBRs and every one of them is managed through the Enterprise Manager's console. For our reporting needs, we use Veeam ONE and a SolarWinds integration.

For most of our company's customers, we use it for the backup process or to create a copy of the backup outside in an off-site or cloud location. Only for a few of our company's customers do we use the replication part of the tool, or if they have a secondary site where they want to have a copy of the VM in production.

Snr. Infrastructure Architect (Data Centre) at DHA

We are a technology company running our own data center and we have been using Veeam Backup and Replication for the past six or seven years out of the 18 years that we've been in business. Our staff comprises six other employees other than myself and we manage the data center by ourselves with our development team.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for performing VM replications and backups for our 20-30 servers in the data center. Specifically, we use it for our VMware and HyperV server hypervisors, and (partly) with our Oracle OEM server. We also use Veeam for AD backups, which has been a very successful experience.

In all, we have around 700 end users with Veeam, of which about 500 are branch users and 200 are customers.

We are a seller and an implementer.

We are implementing on premises as well as on cloud. Now most customers are trying to apply the 3-2-1 policy, and it requires having the process and integration available together.

The general use cases are that it can be used for any backup, for any data center, whatever it is, virtualized or physical or in the cloud. It is very useful and has a very user-friendly backup with a lot of options. It is very fast, as well. Nowadays, we are trying to be compatible with all the storage infrastructures.

PM
Consultant at a integrator with 5,001-10,000 employees

We primarily use Veeam Backup and Replication in small installations and projects with Windows as well as standard Linux systems. We also use it as a backup solution for cloud products such as Office 365. In total, we have around 14 Veeam users, which covers about 100-200 devices using it.

Regarding the technical implementation, we have three primary technical personnel that maintain our use of Veeam. Because our company is multinational, with data centers located in Nordic countries such as Finland, we often have conferences outside our country and we share the services used to configure and perform the maintenance of our systems when needed. In this case, I can't point to an exact number of all the technical staff involved with Veeam throughout the greater organization.

Ideally, when it comes to backups, we prefer to use only one solution rather than two. However, we also have customers in the healthcare sector in Portugal who are using legacy UNIX and Oracle systems, and Veeam does not have agents for these operating systems. So when these customers want to create disaster recovery plans, we like to use Commvault to set up replication and create backup copies of the data code.

Veeam Backup and Replication is mainly used by our IT team but we have a Veeam Backup Agent deployed on all of our workstations to make backups for end-users. In total, there are roughly 60-65 people using this solution in our company. 

For maintenance, we only require two engineers and a manager.

TM
Account Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Our primary use case with Veeam Backup & Replication is to backup critical data. We would recommend that a person put on a Veeam backup service so that in a disaster recovery scenario you set what has to come back up first because that is going to be the critical information that has to go back up as quickly as possible. You can put anything on critical servers, but we recommend that you use it for critical data that it is going to be restored within a four hour timeframe.

Veeam Backup & Replication can be deployed as agent-based or you can set it up to replicate back to a NAS, some sort of device onsite, so that a copy of your data goes to the device onsite and another copy goes to a data center for a backup as well. Then, if that server crashes, the device that's at the location has the latest copy of the good data from where they get the backup.

The solution is primarily used for backups. 

We're a managed service provider and we use it to back up our own stuff. We use it to backup all of our client's data. Obviously, depending on the client, they're very much siloed. We've got multiple backups and multiple instances of Veeam deployed in their particular partitioned-off networks. Those are daily backups. We do full backups and we do incremental backups. Exactly what that schedule depends on the client itself, however, on a daily or a weekly basis, we have the typical things that end users do where they delete files and we have to go recover them.

Veeam Backup & Replication delivers dependable availability across all cloud, virtual and physical workloads with a simple, flexible and reliable solution. You can protect your data no matter the location or workload type with powerful backup and instant recovery options.

We are a system-integrator company and have a platinum sales-partnership with Veeam Software in Turkey. And also we are giving professional services to our customers on behalf of Veeam within the framework of the global VASP program. We take advantage of this experience to integrate many different environments as an output.

Regarding to this exprerince I can say these ;  Some of our customers use Veeam Cloud Connect platforms for off-site backups and VM replicas, in order to copy and handle disaster recovery scenarios. Some of them are just using the backup infrastructure in their on-premise platforms. And some customers have multiple sites by their own.  They are doing disaster scenarios on their own sites and they are not using any other cloud infrastructure. If you have a Veeam product, there are many scenarios you can consider.

I have a customer who used to use Veritas NetBackup, which is also a very well-respected enterprise backup solution. The company's compliance requirement to have daily backups meant that he had to fix issues even if that meant staying after work hours.

Veritas was doing a great job backing up his environment, but every weekend, he would receive a notification that a backup failed. He would then have to go back to the office and contact Veritas support. They would fix the issue, but he wanted something that will just work and that could be left alone.

So we did a proof of concept for Veeam and that's what happened. It was really easy to set up and configure, and he never received any notifications that required him to return to the office and fix an issue.

We use the latest version, although I do not recall exactly which one.

We use the solution for our regular backups and replication. While I have proposed that we also use it for DR, I have been informed that this component in Veeam comes with a cost. Perhaps in the future we will do this.

Project Manager at renaissance group

Our primary use case with Veeam Backup & Replication is as the intermediate agent. Veeam integrates devices between the main server and the replication station.

We set this resolution between the main server and our replication machine. It is getting images from VMware. We serve up with Veeam and it responds to the daily load. 

With Veeam Backup & Replication, replicated servers will be picked up again from the new location station machine. Now our table updates are available automatically. 

We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work.

We currently use Veeam Backup & Replication in our own environment. Veeam is very useful  with the share analysis and with what I get from Reporter. It's very smooth to use. Even the restoration is amazing. The replication feature capabilities are very good. It's useful for Windows products; Exchange, Express, and the like. I'm not sure how they could compete with another product, but it's better. Currently, we are just using this solution on our own site, but not yet integrating for customers. We are integrators of Veeam.
