Simplified Backup with Stellar Features
What do you like best about the product?
I use Veeam Data Platform for backup, replication, and monitoring with Veeam One. I love how it simplified the process of backup and replication due to its easy integration with hypervisors and applications. The continuous replication solution for disaster recovery orchestration is a plus. I find the Veeam AI, the sandbox, and the instant recovery features particularly useful.

The initial setup was very easy, just a next, next wizard.

Veeam Data Platform is to take backups for the servers we have, whether they are physical or virtual servers, including Windows and Linux.
