IT Baws - What VM Backup Solution Are You Using?
Posted on 9/23/21 at 10:47 am

I just got my company to switch to a cloud backup solution called Druva Phoenix.
It seems to work much better than Veeam and restoring entire VM to clone is very fast considering it is restoring from the cloud instead on premise hardware or SAN.
I've restored a handful of VM's with it already and file level restoration is a breeze. So far I am impressed.

Right now Unitrends, but it doesn't grab images directly off our host (it did back when we used it with VMWare). We're changing over to a new virtual stack soon, and once our contract runs out I'm pitching for a new backup system that will allow for the host-level images to be backed up, Acronis.

We use Veeam but backup to disk locally then push copies to the Cloud using iCloud.

Veeam, but it's on prem.

Acronis.

Just curious what issues you've had with Veeam?

How do you like it?

N-able. Main backup is too cloud but can do a replicated backup to local NAS for fater restores.

Veeam. Backup to local Synology NAS, then sync to Backblaze B2.
A little tricky to get it setup initially, but works great. Very satisfied.
I backup 8 VMs and host server.

Veeam - I HATED Acronis. Nothing like trying to talk to russians when you need support....

we also just got rid of CommVault for file level backups. We had it through a datacenter that has one of our server racks. It was great for file level stuff but we wanted a backup solution that did VM snapshots and file level backups in the same application.

We had Veeam on prem. Restores were much slower, not as intuitive, and Veeam ate a lot of bandwidth. Druva is much easier to use and has better support/documentation. We already had Druva InSync for workstation backups so I just wanted to have an all in one application. Druva isn't cheap either but it seems you get more bang for your buck compared to Veeam.

Acronis to a Synology NAS which gets synced to OneDrive.

I’ve been using Rubrik now for a few years. They are killing it. They walk away from VMWorld with more awards than any other “data protection” company out there.
Native ESXi .vmdk snapshots, MSSQL aware snaps, Mongo, Oracle aware, does NAS, physical servers, API first technology/methodology, etc. If you use Pure Storage they leverage Pure’s snapshot technology. Archive and/or Replicate to NFS, Cloud, another Rubrik.
It is not perfect but surely a low-maintenance data protection solution. Run it on-prem or in public cloud - same UI/software. Don’t like their SuperMicro form factor then run it on your own UCS, HP or Lenovo compute infrastructure. Does the work of an entire backup team.

hybrid solution called Synology. (rack mounted)
Pretty good scalable platform for on prem and cloud hybrid full ESX backup and the entire SAN
