In Q1 2025, ransomware surged to a record high. Attackers exposed 2,289 victims on data leak sites, a 126% increase from the previous year. That level of escalation changes how businesses need to think about protection.
Traditional, on-prem backup systems were built for a different threat landscape. They were never designed to handle modern cyberattacks that move fast and hit critical systems at once.
To keep up, businesses need backup strategies that do more than just store data. They need solutions that scale, recover quickly, and shut down ransomware’s leverage. That’s why businesses need Veeam cloud backup.
When paired with a trusted provider like OTAVA, Veeam cloud backup transforms from a tool into a resilient system. It secures everything, including production servers and Microsoft 365 accounts, and lets IT teams recover fast when something goes wrong.
In this blog, we break down the benefits, use cases, and setup tips that make it work.
Veeam cloud backup refers to the off-site, encrypted replication of backup data using Veeam Backup & Replication software. Instead of keeping all backup files on local infrastructure, organizations use Veeam Cloud Connect to send copies to a secure service provider.
At OTAVA, we offer a client-managed model. That means our customers maintain full control over their backup jobs, schedules, and restore options. We handle the infrastructure, ensuring performance, uptime, and compliance behind the scenes.
Our cloud environment supports:
That flexibility matters when your organization spans multiple environments and compliance needs.
Modern backup is retention as well as resilience. Here’s how Veeam cloud backup delivers across the board.
Once ransomware lands inside a system, it often tries to encrypt backups next. If those backups aren’t protected, recovery becomes nearly impossible. That’s why immutable storage is essential. These backups can’t be altered, deleted, or encrypted, even by internal actors with high-level access.
We provide options for air-gapped and immutable backup targets. This ensures every backup is locked down for its full retention period. Encryption runs at every level: at source, during transit, and in storage. Even if primary systems are compromised, recovery points stay clean and secure.
Ransomware isn’t the only cause of downtime. Power failures, accidental deletions, and corrupted files happen, too. Recovery needs to happen in minutes, not hours.
Veeam cloud backup enables full VM and file-level restores with just a few clicks. Instant recovery options allow teams to boot up virtual machines directly from a backup copy. This reduces the time between the problem and the solution.
As an example, Carrefour reduced its backup window from several hours to just 30 minutes using Veeam Cloud Connect.
Costs creep in when backup strategies rely on owned infrastructure. You need:
When you add in bandwidth and data transfer fees from some cloud providers, it can get worse.
We eliminate those surprises. At OTAVA, there are no ingress, egress, or bandwidth fees. Our customers pay for what they use and nothing more. There’s no need to maintain a secondary data center. You can scale backup storage up or down depending on your needs.
Compliance isn’t optional. Industries like healthcare, finance, and retail operate under strict data regulations. Violations lead to fines, audits, or, worse, loss of trust.
Our Veeam cloud backup services support compliance with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2/3, ISO 27001, and more. We help you set granular access controls, track audit logs, and create secure backup environments that match your specific obligations.
Veeam cloud backup isn’t built for one kind of business. It’s built for any organization that handles sensitive data or depends on uptime.
Here’s how it supports specific industries.
Patient data must be both accessible and secure. Downtime in a healthcare setting can disrupt care delivery, delay procedures, and put patients at risk. Our HIPAA-compliant cloud backup solutions keep electronic health records safe and always recoverable.
Finance teams must protect high volumes of transactional data while meeting SOX and PCI-DSS standards. Veeam cloud backup lets you keep that data encrypted and restorable while staying fully compliant.
Managed Service Providers can extend backup-as-a-service to their clients without maintaining infrastructure. Our multi-tenant-ready architecture supports white-labeled solutions that scale with your customer base.
Not every office has local IT. Plants, field offices, and remote sites often need protection but lack infrastructure. We support lightweight deployments that use minimal bandwidth, allowing consistent backup protection even in decentralized environments.
Veeam cloud backup uses Veeam Cloud Connect to create secure, SSL-encrypted tunnels between your production environment and our infrastructure. That eliminates the need for complex VPNs or custom scripts.
Once set up, backup jobs are replicated to our cloud. You set the frequency, retention, and restoration preferences. We monitor performance, availability, and threats on the backend 24/7.
Compression and deduplication reduce file sizes before transit. WAN acceleration keeps transfers fast without clogging your primary network. The result is a streamlined, secure process that doesn’t interfere with day-to-day operations.
You don’t need advanced certifications to deploy Veeam cloud backup well. However, a thoughtful setup helps you get the most out of it.
Here’s what we recommend:
Before enabling backups, define your recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). These guide your frequency and retention settings. Use Veeam’s policy tools to align backups with your business impact tolerance.
Use immutable storage to lock down backup files from edits or deletion. Then take it a step further with SureBackup. This feature tests recovery points in isolated environments using YARA scanning to verify they’re free of malware. That way, you know your backups will work when you need them.
Use Veeam ONE to gain real-time insights into backup health, resource usage, and potential vulnerabilities. We layer on SLA tracking, tenant-level reporting, and 24/7 managed oversight to help identify issues before they become incidents.
Some IT teams prefer full control. Others want us to handle the details. We support both. Choose self-managed for full configuration access or opt for a fully managed deployment with rapid onboarding, clear documentation, and expert project coordination. Either way, we’ll get you protected fast.
Data loss isn’t a matter of if. It’s a matter of when. When it happens, your business depends on how well you’re prepared. That’s why Veeam cloud backup matters.
It not only offers storage but delivers peace of mind, instant recovery, and airtight compliance. Paired with OTAVA’s secure cloud infrastructure and 24/7 support, you get a system that’s always ready to step in when your primary systems fail.
We help businesses back up Microsoft 365, virtual machines, physical servers, and edge devices. We make sure you can restore quickly, stay compliant, and scale without hassle.We offer secure, scalable, and expertly managed Veeam cloud backup solutions tailored to your environment.
