What Is Veeam Data Cloud?

Written By Shavvah Aldred

Veeam Data Cloud is a fully managed backup and recovery service built specifically for protecting data in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure. It takes care of all the complexity behind the scenes—storage, configuration, upgrades, security—so your IT team doesn’t have to.

Think of it as your "set-and-forget" backup insurance for the cloud: you get reliable protection without having to deploy or manage backup infrastructure yourself.

Why Would You Want It?

1. Microsoft Doesn’t Back Up Your Data

Many customers assume Microsoft automatically backs up M365 or Azure workloads—but Microsoft operates on a shared responsibility model. That means:

  • Microsoft keeps the platform running

  • You are responsible for your data

If someone accidentally deletes an email, wipes a SharePoint site, or if ransomware encrypts your Azure VM, Microsoft won’t recover it for you. That’s where Veeam Data Cloud steps in.

2. No Infrastructure to Manage

With Veeam Data Cloud, there’s:

  • No need to buy or manage backup servers

  • No need to patch or maintain software

  • No need to manage backup storage It’s all delivered as a service, hosted in the cloud, and monitored by Veeam.

3. Secure, Compliant, and Immutable

  • Immutable backups protect against ransomware or insider threats

  • Built-in encryption, role-based access control, and audit logs

  • Helps meet compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, ISO, etc.)

4. Fast, Flexible Recovery

  • Restore a single email, file, VM, or database

  • Point-in-time restores across M365 and Azure

  • Self-service restore options for users or departments, if desired

5. Predictable Pricing, Easy Scalability

  • Simple, subscription-based pricing

  • No hardware costs

  • Scales with your needs—whether you’ve got 10 users or 10,000

When Does It Make Sense for a Customer?

You should seriously consider Veeam Data Cloud if:

  • You use Microsoft 365 or host workloads in Azure

  • You need to meet compliance or audit requirements

  • You want to reduce the risk of accidental deletion, ransomware, or misconfiguration

  • You don’t want to manage backup infrastructure yourself

  • You want to offload backup complexity to a trusted provider

 

Veeam Data Cloud provides secure, fully managed backup and recovery for Microsoft 365 and Azure. It ensures your business-critical data is protected, compliant, and recoverable—without the cost and complexity of building and managing it yourself. It’s the fastest way to achieve peace of mind with your Microsoft cloud data.
