Veeam Software offers latest version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365
Veeam Software, a provider of backup, recovery, and data management solutions, is releasing the latest version of the company’s Software as a Service (SaaS) product—Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6.
The solution enables users to securely back up to any location, including on-premises, in a hyperscale cloud, or with a service provider.
New features in v6 increase time savings for IT departments due to diminished burden for recovery requests and additional cost savings as a result of more efficient backups, according to the vendor.
“Within all SaaS platforms, including Microsoft 365, the organization owns and controls their own data, and it’s the organization’s responsibility to protect it,” said Danny Allan, CTO and SVP of product strategy at Veeam. “The growth and momentum of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is an indication that more organizations are realizing the importance of managing and securing their data, and consistently trust Veeam with critical business assets.”
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6 introduces the self-service restore portal for Microsoft 365 environments, which empowers IT administrators to securely delegate restores of emails, files and more from one centralized location.
Restore scenarios, like simple?user?accidental deletions,?will not require an IT admin’s?assistance?and can be done?independently by users and/or delegated to a group of restore operators without the need to provide direct access to the backup server.
Additionally, Veeam has added backup copy to Amazon S3 Glacier, Glacier Deep Archive and Azure Archive for a secondary copy on low-cost, long-term object storage with options for various retention periods.
This enhancement of cloud object storage integrations is in addition to AWS S3, Azure Blob, IBM Cloud, Wasabi and other S3-compatible providers that were already included in previous releases.
Veeam released the first version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 in November 2016. The continued innovation in this latest release is designed to further accelerate Veeam’s leadership in the Microsoft 365 backup market, according to the company.
The solution provides:
- Automation and scalability for enterprise organizations and service providers
- Time savings inhandling restores and not having to build and maintain your own portal
- Enhanced security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) access to restore data
- Recovery confidence with a secondary copy of data in low-cost object storage
