Veeam Backup

Veeam Backup & Replication is the enterprise data protection platform that has become the industry leader for backing up virtual machines, cloud workloads, and SaaS applications. With over 450,000 customers and a dominant market share in VM backup, Veeam provides the reliability and recovery capabilities that organizations need to protect their most critical data assets.

Multi-cloud backup and recovery supports VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and physical servers from a single management console. For organizations with hybrid infrastructure spanning on-premises data centers and multiple cloud providers, Veeam provides the unified data protection that eliminates the complexity of managing separate backup tools for each platform.

Instant VM Recovery is Veeam's signature capability, enabling the restoration of a failed virtual machine directly from a backup file in under two minutes. Rather than waiting hours for data to restore to production storage, the VM is booted directly from the backup repository, providing immediate recovery while data is migrated to production storage in the background.

SaaS application backup protects Microsoft 365 data — Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — that Microsoft's native retention policies do not fully cover. For organizations that mistakenly believe their Microsoft 365 data is automatically backed up, Veeam provides the dedicated backup and granular recovery that business continuity requires.

Immutable backup copies using hardened Linux repositories and object lock storage prevent ransomware from encrypting or deleting backup data. This immutability ensures that even if production systems and primary backup infrastructure are compromised, clean recovery copies remain available.

Pricing is based on workload licensing — per VM, per server, or per user for SaaS backup — with pricing available through Veeam partners. The Community Edition provides free backup for up to 10 workloads, giving small organizations access to enterprise-grade protection.
