asked on 

using windows server backup and veeam

I use veeam to backup our virtual machines.  Is there any use in setting up a backup with the  default windows server backup program? Could I use it to recover from a crash?

why don't you integrate Veeam Agent into your Veeam Backup?
Veeam Agent is for bare metal, Veeam B&R is for Virtual Machines.

Veeam is a far superior backup product to the built-in Windows Server Backup.

Since it's already in play, that's all that needs to be done to back things up and recover in the event of a disaster.

I suggest setting up a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) and link that to BackBlaze B2 for an off-site cloud tier that allows for immutability. We set immutability to 30 days. B2 is the least expensive option out there and the company has a solid business model as they've been around for a long time now.

Virtualization

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
