Veeam vs Acronis

Hello,

we are an acronis customer, backing up to NAS and replicating between 2x hosts on a lan.  Get issues frequently with acronis and VSS, snapshots hanging.  Current setup is using virtual appliances on both hosts.

However if i go veeam route, what options do i have?  Is ig going to be quicker etc?

thanks

Hi, more information about your environment is required to answer this question. You can install the trial version of Veeam and test it. Another option - contact Veeam rep and ask for a comparison.

okay, so seems to be 'more clever' than acronis, however initial replications and backups take about the same amount of time to finish over LAN to NAS.  
The replicas for exchange using the application aware seem slow, fine for sql and windows.  
Reverse incremental backups seem pretty quick after the full backup.
Doesn't seem to be clashing with BE2014 yet...

Just need to verify surebackup and replication across 4mb link to DR as a test (for exchange recovery)
Data is data, and will take the same time to move across a LAN!

Take time to familiarize yourself with backups and restores,and test and write a Disaster Recovery plan! Much easier to do it, before the dark days occurs.

and pretend you just have the backups on your NAS, and nothing else!

definitely seems more stable/clever.  not sure if worth the extra £
trying to integrate backup exec into our backup windows still without clashing with vss...
