We are evaluating Veeam backup software for our vmware virtualized servers.
I was more keen on standard edition, but one of there enterprise plus feature was
"Built-in WAN Acceleration" which caught my attention.
Veeam claims that using this feature would accelerate 50x speed on backup jobs over WAN.
Just wanted to get some inputs on the above feature from existing veeam enterprise plus users. Does it really make the jobs run that much faster over WAN ?
We are planning to use Veeam to do an offsite backup as well. It will be one of the scenario's below:
(1) LAN - local windows server ===> WAN - offsite windows server
(2) LAN - local NAS ===> WAN - offsite NAS
