Veeam is a very popular backup and disaster recovery solution for VMware and Hyper-V environments. The public cloud migration rate is soaring but cloud native backup solutions are not easy as on-prem backup solutions. This is primarily because each object has associated with cost in the cloud. So the product must be intelligent to calculate the cost while configuring the backup to provide the approx forecast.
Veeam Backup for AWS provides the holistic backup solution for AWS services predominately for EC2 and RDS. On a single plane, you can manage the backup for Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon EFS, and Amazon VPC data and configure the remote replication. This makes the cloud resources backup simple and more effective to monitor and remediate if required.
Agentless: Veeam offers agentless backup and DR using native snapshots for the lowest RPOs. Automated snapshots can be configured using policy which reduces the administrative tasks. The policy can be used for data lifecycle management as well.
App Consistent Backup: Another great feature is application consistent backup for both Linux and Windows EC2 instances to ensure zero data loss backup and recovery. You can also pass the custom script for pre-backup and post-backup to make the backup consistent.
Quick Recovery: An instance can be quickly recovered in the cloud as well as on an on-premises data center. It also supports file-level restoration to recover specific sets of files.
Reduce costs: Veeam eliminates overspending and unexpected expenses with industry-first backup cost calculation, automated tiering to low-cost Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive, changed block tracking, and more.
