In an increasingly demanding and digitized IT environment, maintaining a robust enterprise data backup and recovery strategy is becoming more and more essential.

Veeam Backup & Replication has established itself as one of the leading solutions to ensure data resilience, offering a reliable, scalable and prepared for threats such as ransomware or critical infrastructure failures. This tool allows you to make secure copies of your virtual machines (VMs), restore data instantly and ensure a clean, fast and centralised recovery.
The growth of ransomware attacks, human error and hardware failures has put the business continuity of many companies at risk. According to ITIC's 2024 report on the cost per hour of IT downtime, many medium and large enterprises estimate that each hour of downtime can cost between $100,000 and more than $300,000, depending on the industry and criticality of the service.
The absence of a backup and rapid recovery plan can lead to total data loss, production downtime and legal consequences if regulations such as RGPD are not complied with.
Veeam enables business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) with its focus on high availability, data integrity and automation of critical tasks.
Veeam Backup & Replication creates full and incremental copies of your VMs, allowing full, granular or per-file restores. Its Change Block Tracking (CBT) technology optimises performance and resource usage.
It is compatible with the main hypervisors on the market, such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and platforms based on Proxmox or Xen, facilitating integration with other IT solutions.
Full backups: full VM image.
Incremental backups: only changes since the last copy.
Immutable backups: cannot be modified or deleted, key for protection against ransomware.
Fast recovery and minimal downtime: Veeam enables instant recovery of VMs, files or applications, minimising downtime.
Safer backups against ransomware: With immutable backups, automatic verification and AES-256 encryption, a clean and secure recovery is guaranteed, even in the face of cyber-attacks.
Fewer errors and more centralised control: Centralised management enables scheduling, monitoring and auditing of all backups from one intuitive console, improving traceability and compliance.
Scalability for uncomplicated growth: The system adapts to small and large environments, in hybrid, on-premises or mixed cloud, thanks to its scalability and flexibility.
Frequency and retention (RPO/RTO): Define clear objectives of RPO (tolerable loss) and RTO (expected recovery time) according to the type of data.
Where to store copies (local, cloud, hybrid): Evaluate local, cloud (Azure, AWS) or mixed options, leveraging Veeam's multi-cloud integration.
Restore testing: what many companies don't do: Simulating recoveries allows you to test the effectiveness of your strategy and ensure guaranteed recovery.
Active immutable backup
Scheduled automation
Secure offsite storage
Active monitoring and alerts
Regular restore tests
Rapid restoration from protected backups to minimise operational and economic impact.
In minutes, Veeam allows the VM to be up and running on another host or infrastructure.
Granular recovery allows access to specific files without restoring the entire VM.
Veeam makes it easy to migrate environments between hypervisors while preserving data integrity.
Veeam Backup & Replication is the ideal solution for companies looking to protect their virtual infrastructure with a reliable, secure and easy-to-manage tool. Whether to comply with regulations, prevent threats or ensure continuity, Veeam offers all the necessary capabilities to maintain full control over your systems and data.
