It delivers the most Advanced Protection against Cyber Attacks and Outages.
Veeam Software has released NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 including Microsoft Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams. With over 14 million users protected, the latest version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 strengthens data protection by enabling immutability, delivering advanced monitoring and analytics across the backup infrastructure environment, along with increased control for BaaS (back up as a service) through a deeper integration with Veeam Service Provider Console.
“Microsoft 365 is at the center of communications for many organizations and protecting that data at the highest level has never been more important. With 78% of organizations protecting Microsoft 365 with either third-party or BaaS1, companies recognize the need to protect their critical data and the ability to rapidly recover from inevitable ransomware and cyber-attacks. As Veeam strives to keep businesses running, this latest version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 delivers greater peace of mind and data confidence,” said Danny Allan, CTO and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy, Veeam.
The new Veeam Backup software gives the confidence that Microsoft 365 data is protected against ransomware attacks. Immutable copies can be stored on any object storage repository, including Microsoft Azure Blob/Archive, Amazon S3/Glacier and S3-compatible storage with support for S3 Object Lock.
The integration with Veeam ONE and Veeam Data Platform provides advanced monitoring, reporting and alerts for Microsoft 365 backup environments, ensuring reliability of the complete recovery strategy. The tenants now have more self-service backup, monitoring and restore options to address more day-to-day requirements.
“Microsoft 365 has become indispensable for productivity, enabling workers across the globe and the Middle East to maintain business continuity through overwhelming obstacles. Even though Microsoft hosts the infrastructure, this doesn’t replace an enterprise’s responsibility to back up their business-critical Microsoft 365 data,” said Mohamad Rizk, Regional Director, Middle East & CIS, Veeam.
“The NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 helps organizations do exactly that. Our report also states that 72% of Microsoft 365 backups are operated by backup teams, while 28% are run by the Microsoft 365 admins. The beauty of the Veeam solution is that it can run autonomously for Microsoft 365 administrators and/or be monitored and managed alongside the rest of the Veeam offerings. We believe that regional organizations in the Middle East will have peace of mind in the integrity and safekeeping of their Microsoft 365 data if protected by Veeam’s new solution,” he continued.
Version 7 provides two integrations with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365: Veeam ONE and Veeam Service Provider Console. Advanced monitoring and reporting delivered through Veeam ONE v12 allows proactive monitoring of Microsoft 365 backup and storage resources through an at-a-glance dashboard. Users receive alerts to resolve issues immediately and can leverage service level agreement (SLA) reports to ensure compliance and recovery point objectives (RPOs) are met.
The second integration builds upon existing features in Veeam Service Provider Console, which allows organizations to have increased control when leveraging BaaS for Microsoft 365 backups with a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partner. In addition to Microsoft Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business, the self-service restore portal now includes support for Microsoft Teams. Users can now choose their own individual restore points as needed and restore SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business folders.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 is available now and may be added to the new Veeam Data Platform Advanced or Premium Editions as a platform extension or operate as a standalone offering. Veeam will highlight Veeam Data Platform during VeeamON 2023, the community event for data recovery experts, which will take place May 22 – 24 in Miami, FL and online.
