CloudCover Backup: Veeam Cloud Connect Backup

Veeam Cloud Connect Backup FAQs:

• What is Veeam Cloud Connect?

  It’s a secure, reliable solution that simplifies off-site backup and replication. Available within the Veeam Backup and Replication console, it facilitates the transmission of data to secure offsite data centres.

  With DCS, organisations and Veeam backup cloud providers can access Secure Cloud Backup with immutability, without needing to purchase and maintain additional hardware. Immutable Backup is recommended for organisations to protect their data against Ransomware and insider threats.

  With DCS, organisations and Veeam backup cloud providers can also access Virtual Machines from these offsite backups in a Disaster Recovery scenario. Using our leading Clean Room service as part of CloudCover Backup, you can be confident that data is free of malware before restoration.

  For the most critical virtual machines, where a lower RPO is needed, users can also access secure Disaster Recovery services through the Veeam Backup and Replication console with Veeam Cloud Connect Replication.

  If an incident occurs on-premises, your data remains safe, immutable, and ready to restore.

  This means that you can retain your existing partnership while receiving all the benefits of a partnership with DCS.

• What is a Data Clean Room?​

  A Data Clean Room is a Cloud-adjacent environment where servers can be quickly restored, removing the reliance on slow Internet connectivity or the need for spare hardware to be readily available.

  Recovering data to a CloudCover Clean Room removes the guesswork and vulnerability of restoring backups after a Ransomware attack, with the flexibility to provide the level of recovery support that you require.

• What is the difference between Veeam Cloud Connect and Veeam cloud backup?

  “Veeam cloud backup” is the outcome: a copy of your Veeam backups held safely off-site in the cloud. Veeam Cloud Connect is the Veeam technology that makes it happen: a secure, built-in way to send backups to a provider like DCS without standing up your own second site. With DCS, you get the cloud backup, run on Veeam Cloud Connect, on UK infrastructure we manage for you.

• How much does Veeam Cloud Connect cost?

  The cost depends on how much data you protect and how long you keep it, so there is no single sticker price. We are open about it: use the pricing tool for an instant estimate, take a free trial and proof of concept, and we will confirm a fixed monthly price with no hidden extras.
  

• Who are Veeam Cloud Connect providers in the UK?

  DCS is a Platinum Veeam Cloud Service Provider and was the UK's first Veeam-approved reseller-ready partner, with data held in UK infrastructure for full residency and sovereignty. When you compare Veeam cloud backup providers, you can look at factors such as Veeam accreditation level, data residency, commercials and the service included around restoration, not just backup.

• Is my Veeam cloud backup stored in the UK?

  Yes. Your backups sit in UK-based infrastructure that DCS owns and runs, so you keep full data sovereignty in the UK. That matters for compliance and for peace of mind: your data does not leave the UK.

• Can I use Veeam Cloud Connect for disaster recovery, not just backup?

  Backup and disaster recovery are related but different. Veeam Cloud Connect gets your backups off-site; for full recovery - getting systems back up and running and ensuring data is infection free after a ransomware attack for example, look at CloudCover Recover. Many customers run both solutions together.

• What is the difference between Veeam Cloud Connect backup and replication?

  Backup keeps recoverable copies of your data off-site. Replication keeps a near-live standby copy of your systems ready to fail over to. If you need rapid failover as well as backup, our Veeam Cloud Connect Replication via our CloudCover Recover service covers that.
