If you're considering Veeam for your Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy, you're moving in the right direction. Veeam isn't just about restoring data - it's an all-encompassing powerhouse. This tool is adept at not only managing complex data workloads but also at defending against formidable cyber threats and maintaining regulatory compliance. With Veeam, the emphasis isn't solely on data restoration but on effectively and holistically protecting your data. For those already acquainted with Veeam, rest assured there's always more to explore. Let's dive deeper and uncover some of its advanced features that might not be fully harnessed in your current setup.
Stay current
Veeam is not just a backup solution - it's a dynamic tool that meets modern data protection needs like disaster recovery orchestration and ransomware remediation. Here's how you can tap into these features:
- Use Veeam to configure your disaster recovery plan. Set the platform's DR orchestration tools to automate the failover and failback processes. This way, your recovery becomes a routine, not a headache.
- Leverage Veeam's ransomware remediation capabilities. Set up regular automated scans to detect anomalies early, utilize immutable storage options to protect your backups, and establish threat detection mechanisms.
Everything under one roof
No need to wrangle numerous tools for your BCDR tasks. Veeam unites all your BCDR needs into one platform. Regardless of the workload type - be it virtual, physical, or cloud-native, Veeam has got you covered. Here's how you can utilize Veeam's capabilities:
- Use Veeam's Continuous Data Protection (CDP) feature to ensure near-zero data loss. Rather than relying on traditional snapshot-based backups which occur at fixed intervals, CDP leverages VMware's APIs for I/O filtering (VAIO) to create continuous, real-time replicas of your data. This means your information is always up-to-date and protected, with an RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of mere seconds. In the event of data loss, you're not just restoring from the most recent nightly backup, but from a point just moments before the disruption.
- In the case of a ransomware attack, utilize Veeam's advanced remediation features such as its immutable backup storage, DataLabs Secure Restore for malware scanning, and Instant VM Recovery® to rapidly restore your operations and get your business back on its feet with minimal disruption.
Grow together
As your business scales up, your BCDR solution should keep pace. Veeam's adaptability makes it an excellent fit for your growing tech infrastructure.
Veeam's software-defined, hardware-agnostic architecture means it can integrate deeply with all major storage platforms. This not only improves your backup and recovery efficiencies but also ensures that your BCDR solution grows with your business.
Sleep soundly
In the face of rising cyber threats, Veeam offers a secure harbor. Its robust security features shield you from ransomware and other cyber threats. Here's how:
- Set up automated scanning for anomalies and enable advanced threat detection mechanisms to catch threats early.
- Even if your backup server fails, don't worry. Veeam's portable backups ensure your data remains recoverable, reducing downtime and data loss.
Stay ahead of the curve

With Veeam, you are empowered to meet stringent Recovery Service Level Objectives (SLOs) with industry-leading features like Continuous Data Protection (CDP), a multitude of recovery options, and cloud mobility.
