- Editions
- Foundation, Advanced and Premium
Problems Veeam is used to solve
Backups are often only tested when they are needed. These are the gaps that show up at that moment.
| Topic | What it can lead to | How Veeam helps |
|---|---|---|
| Ransomware that targets backups first | What it can lead to: No clean copy to restore from, and pressure to pay. | How Veeam helps: Immutable backups, hardened repositories, four-eyes authorisation for destructive operations, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). |
| Restoring infected data | What it can lead to: The attack returns as soon as systems are back online. | How Veeam helps: Malware scanning during backup flags affected restore points, and restores can be validated in an isolated clean room first. |
| Long outages while systems are rebuilt | What it can lead to: Lost revenue and stalled operations. | How Veeam helps: Instant Recovery runs workloads quickly from backup while full restoration completes. |
| Backups that have never been tested | What it can lead to: Discovering in a crisis that a backup is incomplete or will not boot. | How Veeam helps: Orchestrated recovery testing in isolated environments, with reports that can serve as audit evidence. |
| SaaS and cloud data left out of backup plans | What it can lead to: Lost mailboxes, files or cloud workloads that nobody was protecting. | How Veeam helps: Protection for Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Salesforce and workloads on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. |
What Veeam does
Veeam Data Platform combines backup, recovery, security and compliance features. What you get depends on the edition.
Backup and recovery for many workloads
Virtual machines, physical Windows and Linux servers, cloud-native workloads, enterprise databases, NAS, object storage, Kubernetes and SaaS applications.
Immutable, hardened backups
Hardened repositories and immutability, including S3 Object Lock in compliance mode, protect backup copies from tampering or deletion.
Threat detection in backups
Inline scanning during backup, YARA rule scans, and Veeam Recon, which looks for indicators of compromise and maps findings to MITRE ATT&CK.
Clean recovery
Restores can be checked for malware in an isolated clean room before data goes back into production.
Orchestrated recovery and testing
Recovery plans that run as a sequence and can be tested, producing compliance reports. Included in the Premium edition.
Monitoring and analytics
Monitoring and analytics that surface protection gaps and threat insights. Included from the Advanced edition.
Veeam Data Platform editions
Veeam sells the platform in three editions. The descriptions are Veeam’s; the last column is our guidance on when to consider each.
| Topic | Veeam’s description | Worth considering when |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Veeam’s description: Backup and recovery for every workload | Worth considering when: You mainly need reliable backup and restore across your environment. |
| Advanced | Veeam’s description: Proactive monitoring, analytics and threat insights | Worth considering when: You also want visibility of protection gaps and early warning of threats in backup data. |
| Premium | Veeam’s description: Orchestrated recovery and full cyber resilience | Worth considering when: You must prove recovery works, with tested plans and reports for auditors or management. |

Ransomware recovery readiness check
Nine questions that show whether you could recover from a serious incident, whatever backup product you use. Nothing you select is saved or sent.

We can help plan the architecture, integrations and rollout, including change windows and a rollback plan.
- 04
Tuning and handover
We can help tune policies after go-live and hand over documentation and knowledge to your team.

Ongoing support
Where you want it, we can help with day-to-day administration, upgrades and periodic reviews.
Veeam lists virtual machines, physical Windows and Linux servers, cloud-native workloads on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, enterprise databases, NAS, object storage, Kubernetes, and SaaS applications including Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Salesforce.
Veeam uses immutable backups and hardened repositories so copies cannot be altered during retention, four-eyes authorisation to block destructive operations by a single person, MFA, encryption and least-privilege access.
Yes. Veeam describes inline scanning during backup that flags affected restore points, YARA rule scans, and Veeam Recon, which identifies indicators of compromise across protected environments.
Veeam supports dark site deployments for disconnected or air-gapped environments, and offers a hardened software appliance as well as installation on existing infrastructure.
Microsoft 365 is listed by Veeam as a supported workload. Whether you need it depends on how long you must keep data and how you would recover from deletion or ransomware; compare your requirements with the retention Microsoft provides natively.
Foundation covers backup and recovery, Advanced adds monitoring, analytics and threat insights, and Premium adds orchestrated recovery. Your recovery targets and audit needs usually decide it.
