Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 delivers secure, scalable, SaaS‑based backup and recovery for Microsoft Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Entra ID. Delivered as a fully managed Backup‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) platform, it eliminates infrastructure overhead while providing enterprise‑grade cyber resilience through immutable backups, policy automation, and rapid, granular restores.
Built on the Veeam Data Cloud architecture, the service provides Zero‑Trust protection, continuous monitoring, and high‑performance recovery ensuring Microsoft 365 data remains secure, compliant, and always recoverable even from ransomware or accidental deletion.
What’s Special About Data Cloud for Microsoft 365?
- Fully managed SaaS protection with no backup servers, storage, or patching to maintain.
- Protects Microsoft 365 + Entra ID, including users, groups, policies, and audit logs.
- Zero‑Trust architecture with granular RBAC, isolated backup storage, and separation from your tenant.
- Fast, flexible recovery for bulk and granular restores across all Microsoft 365 services.
- AI‑assisted automation and analytics via Veeam Data Cloud unified platform.
- Multi‑region resiliency, with backups stored in the Azure region of your choice.
- Eliminates Microsoft 365 data‑loss gaps, as Microsoft’s native retention does not protect against accidental deletion, ransomware, or insider threats.
