It’s hard to defeat the laws of physics, and in searching for an off-site backup solution you should think about how long the data you have in a cloud repository will take to restore. It’s also a good idea to do some research into the service providers uptime and major event history, as this can tell you either way if a provider offering the off-site backup service has had any history of Availability issues. Drilling down even further, some providers offer multiple locations within region, which can increase the resiliency and Availability of off-site backups and let you choose multiple repositories to further extend the 3-2-1 rule. With the VCSP network being global, there is no shortage of locations to choose from to have as an off-site repository. Data locality and Availabilityĭata sovereignty is a still a major concern for organizations looking to back up off site to the cloud.
The Veeam Cloud & Service Provider directory lists out VCSP partners in your region of choice… but how do you choose between them?īelow are five considerations when searching for an offsite backup solution: 1. By leveraging Veeam Cloud Connect Backup, a number of VCSPs around the world have built off-site backup solutions. With Veeam Cloud Connect, they can give their customers the ability to leverage cloud repositories to store virtual machines in service provider facilities. Since Veeam Backup & Replication v8, Veeam has offered Cloud Connect as a means for the Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners to provide off-site data backup services. Another advantage of off-site backup solutions is accessibility, as the data is accessible from any internet-connected location and device. There’s also no need to worry about infrastructure maintenance as that burden lies with the service provider, and the scalability of service providers can be leveraged without an upfront CAPEX spend. Off-site backup solutions offer numerous benefits to organizations, including increased efficiency and reliability based upon features and capabilities that not many companies may afford. This is where off-site data backup services can come into play to satisfy the off-site backup services requirement. Traditionally, most organizations have been able to put this into play by taking advantage of on-premises storage and media hardware along with multiple data center locations to cater for the off-site requirements. For a number of years now, Veeam has been talking about the 3-2-1 rule of backups, whereby you keep three copies of your backup data on two different media types with at least one of those backups held off-site.
