FAILED TO CONNECT TO VEEAM BACKUP & REPLICATION SERVER SOFTWARE
The price was also better.Īzure Backup is ranked 14th in Backup and Recovery Software with 16 reviews while Veeam Backup & Replication is ranked 1st in Backup and Recovery Software with 88 reviews. We went with Veeam VBR because of the ease of use, the fast rollback, and deduplication features. They don’t provide monitoring on backup jobs either. It takes a bit too long to start the management console. It would be also nice to have admin controls for moving backup storage between devices. Getting the hang of the SAN-based backups can be tricky. I think it is great for small and medium organizations’ virtualized environments but it is so scalable that it could also work for larger businesses. And that VBR provides immutable storage gives us peace of mind. The versatility of the platform is another advantage.

It integrates to MS SQL and Oracle, which translate into instant recovery. We liked that we can recover individual files easily at VM and file-level. VBR provides continuous availability for cloud, virtual, Kubernetes, and physical workloads.

At this point we started considering using Veeam Backup & Replication. It compresses the data but doesn’t allow deduplication. The Mars agent option doesn’t support restore to IaaS functionality.Īzure stores the data in a recovery vault. The Mars agent has the advantage of providing a lower Recovery Point Objective (RPO) - 8 hours instead of 24. The second option involves running Azure Backup via the Mars agent. This option runs as a service in the Azure platform. First, their Azure native IaaS level backup. Here is what we found:Īzure Backup provides different options. Veeam has a version for Azure but there are organizations, like ours, that are considering moving to an Azure environment and wonder if Azure Backup is better than Veeam Backup and Replication (Veeam VBR). That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware." "The price can be better." "Pricing can be improved." "It needs to offer an automatic check for backups." That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide." "Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used." "This is an expensive solution." "I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. "Additional executive summary reports for the entire infrastructure would be a nice to have." "The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. The functionality of the whole software is good." "I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good." You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works."" "WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities." "The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us." "The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. It is a complete solution for our needs." "It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. "I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto." "It's not complex to replicate and back up the system." "The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy.
