What do you like best about Veeam Backup for AWS?

VEEAM for AWS was easy to setup and get running. After it was running it worked without incident and was easy to use for our backups as well as DR backups to S3. The product also is affordable UNLESS you use Marketplace assets (see dislikes). I would recommend this product for any customer using standard AWS AMI's but I would encourage caution if someone uses licensed Marketplace assets (see dislikes) as you may get surprised by additional charges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Veeam Backup for AWS?

I noticed one flaw that I saw as a major issue. Unfortunately VEEAM doesnt seem to want to address it. This issue will affect anyone using a Marketplace license for a system (Red Hat, Suse, etc). These licenses tag their primary disk with the license. When VEEAM creates a backup it creates a snapshot and then a new volume from the snapshot, mounting it on a worker instance of your sizing. Because it mounts the volume of the system being backed up and because that volume is tagged as a licensed system you will be getting charged an additional hourly marketplace charge for that licensed system. If you have a large amount of these systems this can get VERY expensive as these will also be hourly charges outside of your license contract.

I really wish VEEAM would look at this issue but so far their response was "this is working as intended." So now I must look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Veeam Backup for AWS solving and how is that benefiting you?

VEEAM Backup for AWS managed all of our internal backups as well as DR dumps to S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kelsey T of Veeam Backup for AWS

Thank you and we appreciate your feedback. For Veeam to create backups, we will need to mount the volume to the worker instance so that it can compress the data before offloading it to S3 and helping end users save on their storage cost. If the systems being protected are licensed in a certain way with AWS, Veeam has no control of changing the systems' settings. In fact, this is by design on the AWS side to avoid exploitation, and all backup vendors are held to this, not just Veeam. Our purpose is to create a copy of a system and make sure it is available to be restored when needed. Veeam has the capability to restore the data of an instance on a different sized instance, depending on the use case, but when taking in the data to store it, Veeam cannot change the system's configuration. Have you tried excluding system volumes in the backup policy when selecting your resources to protect?

Nowadays cloud computing is the most prominent part of any engineering field. By using Veeam, our company found it easy to manage with Data protection, Data Recovery and Data Recovery Management.

Hassle free connection between the two makes the data crunching perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Veeam is a great offering and makes things simple by automating the backup process. Aurora DB restoration for multi-cluster needs manual creation of secondary clusters. There are some certificate file limitations imposed for Veeam linking. For EC2 the minimum configuration required is t3.medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Veeam backups AWS Databases periodically, thereby creating multiple snapshots using which Databases can be restored to the previous version in case of failure, disk corruption or power outage. Also, server backup saves important config files and AMIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
