Veeam Backup & Replication Reviews

Advanced user of Veeam Backup & Replication

One of the best ones

What do you like best?

Although using the Community Edition, I must say I am impressed with how many features it has packed. Easy to connect to an ESXi server and easy to set up each machine to backup. Once that's done, all you have to do is set up notifications ON and forget it exists. I get all the information I need from the backup (if it failed or succeeded, how much space it uses, etc.).

What do you dislike?

There isn't much to dislike. I understand the Community Edition is about sharing, but I would go to Commercial Edition / or Paid if it was more affordable. As it stands, I could not possibly pay for using 11 servers instead of 10 (in my case, one machine is not backed up at all)

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I have tried other solutions, and none have all the features that Veeam packs in the Community Edition. Unfortunately, Veeam aims for Enterprises with the pricing, so end-users would typically not afford it. I certainly would buy a lifetime license, but for just one extra server running that I may or may not keep, I cannot pay for the software. The server is light on my machine while running, even when it's backing up, and I had put it to the test when I had to rebuild a RAID array and recover all the servers; everything went like a breeze. I did have to update the backup location so that it may be picked up automatically in the future, or maybe it is like that for security. Either way, I strongly recommend it and if you can afford it, buy it, thank me later for this advice.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I have a daily incremental backup of 10 servers which works like clockwork, no hassle, and easy to set up. The server itself does not require or use many resources.
