Veeam Data Cloud

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Veeam-managed backup service. Veeam manages the backup infrastructure, all data is stored in an Azure region of your choice, and you have full control of creating backups and completing restores. The SaaS backup application is accessible through a web browser.

The Veeam Data Cloud application connects to your Microsoft 365 account and takes frequent backups of your data, storing them securely in a dedicated storage account in a location of your choice, ready for you to recover what you need, when you need it. 

Yes, Veeam takes a zero-trust approach to ensure the security of your data, including but not limited to encrypting data in transit and at rest, always using multi-factor authentication, and having strict security controls for users and administrators. 

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 includes service-level immutability capabilities on the primary backup, at no additional cost to the customer, based on how the data is protected. 

• The backup data lives in a virtually air-gapped location, hosted by Veeam on Azure, isolated and decoupled from the Microsoft 365 and/or customer infrastructure.  

• Customers also benefit from the inherent data security provided by Microsoft Azure at the storage level. 

• Once the data is backed up, it cannot be altered, tampered with, or deleted by users, including administrators or attackers.

• Veeam Data Cloud uses local redundant storage (LRS), where three copies of customer data are stored in three separate disks within the primary Azure region. 

Veeam Data Cloud can back up all your data stored in your Microsoft 365 account, including SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams data.   

Once you sign up and log-in, we will provide you with a direct link. Alternatively, you can always access Veeam Data Cloud by going to Veeam.com and identifying the “Log In” button in the top of the page.
