help Veeam Backup for Cloud Connect FAQ
What exactly does Veeam Cloud Connect do?
Veeam Cloud Connect provides a secure, fast way for businesses to send their on-premises Veeam backups to an off-site hosted backup repository. It eliminates the need for a company to build and manage a second physical datacenter or remote site for disaster recovery.
Do I need a VPN to use Veeam Cloud Connect?
No, Veeam Cloud Connect establishes a secure, SSL-encrypted connection directly over standard internet ports. This avoids the networking complexity, configuration challenges, and latency often associated with setting up permanent IPsec VPN tunnels.
Can I use Veeam Cloud Connect to backup directly to Amazon S3 or Azure?
Not directly via the basic Cloud Connect feature alone, as Cloud Connect is specifically designed for connecting a Veeam server to a hosted Veeam Service Provider. However, Veeam Backup & Replication natively supports capacity tier functionality to offload backups directly to S3, Azure Blob, or other S3-compatible object storage.
Does Veeam Cloud Connect support replication, or just backups?
Yes, Veeam Cloud Connect supports both backup storage and full virtual machine (VM) replication. The replication feature allows you to run your VMs directly from the service provider's cloud infrastructure in the event of a local disaster.
