"Comprehensive backup and recovery solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Veeam Backup for AWS?

I use AWS EC2 and RDS databases extensively for personal as well as professional use, and along with it I started using Veeam Backup which helps me to make sure everything will be okay even in worst-case scenarios, I use Veeam to prevent data loss and till-date my experience with this tool is very satisfying. The best part is it allows flexible backup scheduling options like incremental backups and its performance is too good during restoring the data and it is easy to use for new users as well.

What do you dislike about Veeam Backup for AWS?

It is a bit expensive for some advanced features like cross-region and cross-account copy. The interface can be made simpler by adding more shortcuts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I liked the product until....."
1.5/5
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.

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.
