Veeam was the winner for us because of its ease of use and quick restore of VMs

Thank you!

I sold all my paper books, because thet took too much space and collected dust. Today all my books are in the digital formats.

You would do well to look at Enterprise Plus licenses of Veeam to get the WAN Accelerator for backup copy jobs here. I am hoping to try this out in the next 4-8 weeks since we just beefed up internet connections at 2 of our sites.

The is only in the Plus? I may be able to swing the Enterprise, but the plus not so much. This is a SMB with 3 (well will be 2) VM hosts. They like the idea of offsite backup, but $4600 not counting hardware will be pushing it. Does Veeam require maintenance to be repurchased for it? I can probably make a case if it is a one time purchase.

WAN Acceleration is only available in the Enterprise Plus edition.

Speaking about maintenance & support, as I know, 1 year is included and later you can renew your subscription, but it's not obligatory.

I used an old laptop for my first lab. It weigh 4kg, however it's surprisingly fast enough to run my low test workloads after minor upgrades

Speaking about Veeam, at home I use a 180-day NFR license to open the full functionality (http://go.veeam.com/free-nfr-backup-management-suite.html) - it's not for production, it's only for learning purposes. I also recommend to take a look at free video trainings from Veeam University that in your case might also be helpful - http://www.veeam.com/backup-replication-university.html
