Veeam Data Cloud Vault

Veeam acquired Zerto in 2020, and Veeam Data Cloud Vault leverages Zerto's replication and journaling technology to create recovery points for cloud workloads. The Zerto integration enables near-instant recovery through its continuous data protection approach, which journals workload changes at granular intervals.

The platform creates immutable copies of workloads stored in public cloud environments, meaning the backup data cannot be altered or deleted, even by an administrator with full access. This immutability is a critical defense against ransomware, which often attempts to encrypt or destroy backup copies before demanding payment.

Yes, the combination of Zerto's disaster recovery capabilities and immutable backup copies makes Veeam Data Cloud Vault specifically designed to support ransomware recovery scenarios. Organizations can rapidly restore clean copies of workloads from points recorded before an attack occurred.

Veeam Backup & Replication is primarily focused on backing up virtual, physical, and cloud workloads with flexible on-premises or cloud storage targets. Veeam Data Cloud Vault narrows its focus specifically to immutable, cloud-based disaster recovery using Zerto's technology, emphasizing rapid restoration and business continuity for public cloud environments.
