Veeam Managed Backup
Veeam Managed Backup: our Backup-as-a-Service solution for your VMs
Protecting and backing up your VMs is an essential part of ensuring long-term stability for your infrastructure. That’s why we offer a managed backup solution based on Veeam Backup & Replication technology. You can use it to easily restore your data, by enabling automatic backups for your VMs.
Backup as a Service
VM backups are fully automated and monitored by OVHcloud. You can restore these machines at any time.
Storage included
Your data backups are stored in dedicated, complimentary infrastructures. You can access your backups easily via an administration link.
Daily monitoring
You are sent a custom report every day. This report will include a list of all your backups, and their respective statuses.

A detailed look at how the backup system works
Automatic, transparent and with no impact on available space
Your managed backups are created from the selected VMs, using the OVHcloud Veeam Server. Your management vLAN for your infrastructure then transfers your data to your repository configured in RAID. This operation is fully managed by our teams. With this additional storage, you will have more usable space on the infrastructure.
Virtual machine requirements
To enable Veeam Managed Backup on your VMware on OVHcloud infrastructure, you need to create a Windows-based virtual machine. If you have a Windows Datacenter licence that you ordered from OVHcloud, the licence cost will be included. Otherwise, a licence surcharge will be applied. To create a Windows VM, you will need to enable the HA and DRS services in vSphere. This virtual machine will follow the DRS affinity rules you have defined.
VMware Backup Proxy
A VMware Veeam Backup Proxy is an architecture component that sits between the backup server (VBR) and other components of the backup infrastructure.
While the backup server administers tasks, the proxy processes jobs and delivers backup traffic. It is a Linux-based server.
At OVHcloud, we deploy proxies on your hosted private cloud to manage workload backups.
By default, the first proxy will be configured with 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM.
The proxy backups will be resized depending on the backup jobs and the number of virtual machines.
Backup stability
For stability reasons, we cannot make backups of virtual machines (VMs) with a volume higher than 2 TB. If you have more than 15 VMs backed up, or 10 TB of volume, you may need to create an additional proxy backup, to ensure that your backups are correctly implemented.
Autoscaling proxy
We resize the Veeam proxies based on the number of virtual machines (VMs) and VMDK disks
to ensure that your backups are properly set up.
The Veeam environment will be customised according to the number of vSphere ESXi.
