help Object First Ootbi FAQ
Does Object First Ootbi replace Veeam Backup & Replication?
No, Ootbi is a backup-storage appliance purpose-built to work with Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam still manages backup jobs, retention, and restores, while Ootbi serves as an on-premises object-storage repository.
How does Ootbi keep ransomware from deleting Veeam backups?
Ootbi uses S3-compatible object storage with Object Lock so stored backup objects remain immutable for the retention period configured through Veeam. Its restricted appliance design also reduces the administrative access paths that an attacker could exploit.
Can Ootbi provide application failover by itself?
No, Ootbi stores protected backup data but is not itself a hypervisor or disaster-recovery orchestration platform. Recovery and failover workflows still depend on Veeam and suitable compute infrastructure at the recovery site.
How is Object First Ootbi priced and purchased?
Object First sells Ootbi through channel partners rather than publishing a universal retail price, so buyers normally request a reseller quote based on capacity and support. In the United States, Object First also introduced a pay-per-use consumption option in 2025 alongside traditional capital purchases.
