Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Backup & Replication is the undisputed leader in data protection for virtual, physical, and cloud workloads, particularly dominant in VMware and Hyper-V environments. Its core strength is providing a single platform for backup, replication, and recovery with unparalleled reliability and speed. The software's Instant VM Recovery feature can run a failed VM directly from a backup file in minutes, while SureBackup automatically verifies backup integrity. Veeam's universal licensing and seamless integration with major storage arrays and hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) make it the go-to choice for enterprises. It's ideal for IT departments managing complex, hybrid environments that demand near-zero RPOs and RTOs. Compared to alternatives, Veeam offers superior recovery flexibility and a vast ecosystem of partners, though its focus is firmly on the professional and enterprise market.
