In our research-powered blog series for 2022, we recently discussed why cloud-powered data protection is inevitable for most environments. In fact, it’s fair to say that while many already leverage cloud-powered data protection as either a repository, a backup service, or a DR capability (or some combination), there are others still exploring whether and how to utilize cloud-powered backup.
To help understand these market trends, in October 2021, Veeam published what is believed to be the largest BaaS/DRaaS research survey with 1,050 IT leaders weighing in on Data Protection as-a-Service. Check out the entire report here.
It is worth looking closer at why so many organizations are embracing Backup as-a-Service (BaaS), so we asked them “Why does your organization use BaaS instead of (or in complement to) traditional backup software/hardware?” Check out what they said in this short video:
On a personal note (from @JBuff), I have asked folks for years, “Why BaaS, when you can DRaaS?” – meaning, why “just” protect your data and then recover from a cloud, when you could just power up your servers from cloud-hosted infrastructures. It turns out that many IT leaders have had that same thought, as seen here looking at the 2020-2023 trends toward cloud-powered disaster recovery:
So far, our blog series covered the inevitability of cloud-powered data protection and more specifics on BaaS & DRaaS. Next week, we’ll conclude the series by taking a closer look at the most important aspect of BaaS/DRaaS: the Service Provider.

For those of us who have been in the business of backing up data for a while, we’re used to making copies of data on different types of media. I won’t date myself by mentioning reel-to-reel tapes, but the journey started with tape and then backing up data to block/file-based disk storage came along. More recently, a new kid on the block has become a popular destination for backed up data, object storage. Veeam started to use object storage as a target when we released Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 in January 2019 by introducing our use of AWS S3 compliant object storage via the Capacity Tier. A year later, we launched Veeam Backup & Replication v10 which featured support for object locking to provide data immutability for object storage. Immutability provides protection from ransomware attacks by locking the objects which prevents them from being modified or deleted by malicious software or humans. Today, Veeam Backup & Replication is protecting hundreds of petab...
Before Veeam Backup & Replication v11, the product used SQL Server to create and store its configuration database. It has always been possible to use SQL Server Express to store a Veeam Backup & Replication, however, this version of SQL Server had some critical limitations. In the 2022 version of SQL Server Express, the most relevant limitations were: Use of one socket or four cores Use of only 1.4GB per instance 10GB limit for databases In an environment of 500 machines or fewer, these limitations may not have an impact, but if you have a large backup environment, you had to migrate to one of the paid SQL Server versions to avoid these limitations. You can check the limits for each version of SQL Server 2022 by clicking this link . For V12 and with scalability, performance and licensing cost in mind, Veeam introduced the possibility of using PostgreSQL as a configuration database. PostgreSQL is a relational database management system that’s been used for over 35 years...
update notice: The information in this blog post has been updated on April 1st, 2022. Since Veeam Backup & Replication version 10, it’s possible to back up NAS shares with the SMB (CIFS) and NFS protocol. One of the challenges with backing up large file shares is doing so in a consistent state. This blog post shows how to create a consistent backup of an SMB share hosted on a NetApp ONTAP based storage. NetApp storage snapshot, Microsoft VSS snapshot or Storage Integration? Veeam offers three ways to back up a NetApp ONTAP SMB share in a consistent state. With NetApp storage integration From a NetApp storage snapshot (without integration) With Microsoft remote VSS snapshot Using the storage integration is the easiest way to get the latest state with very few configuration steps. Using an alternative snapshot path allows complex scenarios like backing up from a SnapMirror/SnapVault location but it involves scripting or a schedule on NetApp to create and delete t...
