How does Veeam Cloud Connect Work?

Consilium’s cloud backup is powered by Veeam Cloud Connect. It delivers powerful and reliable features and functionality to help you avoid the risk of catastrophic data loss. A backup repository based in our private cloud will be allocated and presented to your existing Veeam Backup Server. Alternatively we will install and setup Veeam backup server for you should you not already use it.

To get the first backup to the cloud Consilium offer a free backup data seeding service to onboard backup data to our cloud. This involves taking an initial backup to physical disk that is then delivered to our data centre for the initial upload to take place. Thereafter encrypted incremental backups are carried out over the internet.

Sound good! how does it work?

A Veeam Backup Copy Job copies your onsite backup to your cloud backup repository. The data is kept safe as full end-to-end encryption is used. So all data transferred is encrypted at source, during data transfer and stored encrypted in the cloud backup repository.
