What is Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform?

Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform automates Google-native snapshots to securely protect VMs across projects and regions with ultra-low RPOs and RTOs, and store backups in Google Object Storage to enhance data protection (because snapshots alone are never enough). The vendor states this ensures lower costs for long-term retention.

Categories & Use Cases

This is a high-performance backup solution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We do everything from installation to operation in-house. It has high functionality and flexibility not found in conventional backup applications, and I have been using it since my previous job. Once used, you can't fall back on other backup applications. It outperforms other backup solutions, such as instant recovery and malware protection.

Pros

  • The license form is simple and it is easy to understand the cost.
  • As the user interface is similar to Office, it is easy to operate intuitively.
  • You can intuitively proceed with the configuration without looking at the manual.

Cons

  • There are many parts of the manual, etc. that are difficult to understand.
  • As an initial user, the license became a socket license and NAS backup became a pay-per-use system, and the price increased
  • Because it is more expensive than software with the same function, reduce the price.

Most Important Features

  • Still, it is easy to use. It is incomparable with traditional backup solutions.
  • The de facto standard for backup applications, worldwide.
  • Can use the trial version, so use it once and experience this convenience!

Return on Investment

  • The acquisition time has been shortened and the job is now completed overnight.
  • Also, it is amazing that "This high-performance backup solution is free!" is open to the public, like Community Edition.
