With a lot of vendors that is not possible and are just focused on 1 segment. The products can be used for personal use, small business over mid-sized companies until enterprise customers. Next to that an advanced monitoring and reporting tool for your hypervisor and backups : Veeam ONE.Īnd the lists goes on : Veeam Cloud Connect for service providers, Veeam Service Provider Console, Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator, native backup cloud solutions for Azure, AWS, … Also Veeam Agents for different platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac) intended to backup physical machines or VMs in the public cloud or even VMs on an on-premises hypervisor (but needs to backup for example inline iSCSI drives, …).Īlso a solution Veeam Backup for Office 365 for backup of Office 365 (Onedrive for Business, Exchange (online and on-premises), sharepoint (online and on-premises) and teams. Veeam has several solutions, the flagship Veeam Backup & Replication for different hypervisors (HyperV, vSphere, Nutanix AHV and newly RHV). Several solutions for several platforms.Of course, that’s recommended for all software.

To configure Veeam by using best practices and using the best design and setup it’s recommended to let it configure by a partner, certified engineer/architect. It’s easy for not Veeam experienced persons to install and configure Veeam software. Almost everything is put in a logical place in the interface. That’s the first thing that’s impressive. If you use universal licenses you can migrate through different platforms (vSphere, HyperV, cloud, physical, NAS, …) if you want, when you want without the need to change your Veeam licenses. Not always possible with other backup vendors in my experience. Next to that : the format is interchangeable : you can for example restore a VM (backup taken from vSphere on-premises) to Azure or to HyperV, or restore a backup taken with a Veeam Agent to Amazon EC2 or HyperV, … and so on, the list is very long! You can even extract your backup-file (without VBR) to the.

In case of emergency of disaster it’s just sufficient to install VBR Community Edition (free), import your backup-file and restore. You are not dependent of your backup-server to restore something. Something I like very hard! All necessary information is built into the backup-file. There will be more reasons, but I think it will cover a lot of the reasons and I don’t think someone has to hesitate anymore 😉 In my daytime job as an engineer/consultant specialised in backup and disaster recovery I get often the question : why to choose Veeam over other competitors?
