Veeam Agent for Windows

Kommentare: Overall, this product is the greatest bang for the buck when it comes to backing up your vital physical servers.

Vorteile: The software is very easy to configure and integrate into our full blown solution of centralized backup management for our VMs. We have 2 physical servers that we needed to backup that wasn't a virtual machine. The Veeam Agent allowed us to pull both servers into our backup infrastructure with little configuration. Our two servers are backed up and can be restored to full capacity in as little as a couple of clicks. The logs are tied into our existing backup management panel (Also Veeam), so we are able to be alerted and track backup jobs just as we would with our VMs.

Nachteile: The client side configuration isn't as plentiful in features or configuration on the server side. Would like to see the ability to configure alternative datastores from the server itself.

Kommentare: Our CSP utilizes VAW on all physical and non-VMware licensed virtual machines, typically to NAS devices. It allows for very quick backups with its (default) forever-incremental settings, although this is customizable to run Fulls at scheduled intervals as well. Restores of File Level, Application Level (SQL, Exchange) or Entire Disk(s) level can be accomplished by various browser applications included with the software. Licensed versions have the capability to configure Cloud Connect (Cloud Service Provider) storage, giving you a secure, off-site backup option.

Vorteile: -Customizable backup targets (Local Storage, Network Storage, CSP).
-Allows for ease of migration/restore to new (even dis-similar hardware).
-Email Alerts.
-Volume Level Backups, with multiple restore options (Volume Level, File Level).
-Multiple schedules available in latest version.

Nachteile: Troubleshooting can involve sifting through Debug logs, as errors tend to be generic in nature.

Kommentare: I started using VAW when I started my help desk job. It's been a very rewarding experience. I always knew that keeping good backups was a best practice in IT, but I didn't know how to go about doing it. Veeam Agent allows me to backup my PC to a number of places: local storage, local network storage, and the cloud. It allows me to manage a lot of different options, such as setting full or incremental backup intervals, and whether or not I want status emails sent to me or not. It's very easy to grab log files for submitting to Veeam customer service reps through the VAW console, and the customer support is exceptional. Highly recommend this product to anyone who isn't sure about how to manage their backups, either personal backups or professional backups.
