Veeam Launches New Microsoft 365 Backup Storage Capabilities, Brings Data Resilience to Over 21 Million Users

Veeam® Software, the no. 1 leader by market share in Data Resilience, has announced the next generation of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with the new capabilities offered by Microsoft 365 Backup Storage. This solution, which is built on Microsoft Azure, provides backup-as-a-service (BaaS) for Microsoft 365, enabling data resilience and leveraging powerful data protection and security technology within a simple, seamless user experience.

As a launch partner for Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, the leader in data resilience is leveraging the latest Microsoft technology with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to deliver lightning-fast backup and recovery capabilities for large Microsoft 365 environments, ensuring organisations protect critical data against cyberattacks and data loss scenarios, further enabling complete data resiliency. This solution further strengthens Veeam’s position in protecting Microsoft 365 users, with over 21 million users already under the company’s protection.

“One of the benefits of our multiyear strategic partnership with Microsoft is rapidly bringing new advances to our joint customers and partners. This new release combines the benefits of our ndustry-leading technology—in both data protection and ransomware recovery—with the latest Microsoft 365 data resilience capabilities introduced by Microsoft, and extends them to even more customers using Microsoft 365. In addition, we’re making great progress in our joint innovation bringing the power and insights of Microsoft Copilot to the Veeam product family,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Veeam.

He added: “As the no. 1 leader in Microsoft 365 protection with over 21 million users protected, we provide the ultimate Microsoft 365 backup and recovery solution and set the standard for how enterprises manage data protection.”

New Service Is Embedded in Veeam

Microsoft’s new backup technology is seamlessly embedded inside Veeam’s backup service for Microsoft 365, combining the new high-speed backup and recovery capabilities with Veeam’s established and unmatched restore and eDiscovery options tailored to meet any potential data loss and compliance scenario. This powerful fusion, where speed and scale meet control and flexibility, empowers organisations with the best of both worlds.

“The collaboration with Veeam is an advancement in assisting our shared clients with quick recovery after cyber incidents. We look forward to deepening our collaboration to improve data protection for users,” said Zach Rosenfield, Director of PM for Collaborative Apps and Platforms at Microsoft.

This new solution with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage delivers:

• Speed and Scale. This latest offering is designed to manage large volumes of data seamlessly, with the ability to protect and restore 100+ TBs of data or 10,000+ objects. With this advanced solution, what used to take weeks or months is now accomplished within hours.
• Disaster Recovery. This new solution offers bulk restores at scale, ensuring increased resilience to ransomware or malware attacks and minimising downtime. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage empowers organisations to bounce back quickly from any data loss scenario. Organisations no longer have to choose between paying a ransom or enduring weeks or months of data restoration.
• Future Readiness. As part of a new 5-year strategic partnership, the data resilience leader is developing future solutions with Microsoft integrating Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI services to enhance data protection for Microsoft 365 and Azure. These solutions will simplify operations, automate administrative tasks, and allow organisations to allocate resources to business-critical initiatives, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

“As adoption of Microsoft 365 increases, the volume and criticality of their associated data sets is also growing,” said Krista Macomber, Research Director at The Futurum Group. “Without the proper data protection solution, this can lead to highly time-consuming, cumbersome backup processes – ultimately resulting in delayed, missed, or incomplete backups. Equally an issue, it can also lead to slow and incomplete recovery processes. This cannot be afforded, especially given the need for resiliency against the onslaught of cyber-attacks. Veeam is directly addressing these challenges with the most recent update to its Microsoft 365 backup capabilities.”
