FAQ

Common questions about Veeam

What does Veeam back up?

Veeam Backup and Replication protects VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, physical Windows and Linux servers, NAS file shares, and cloud workloads on Azure. A separate product, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, protects Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. Sentire manages both as an integrated data protection platform.

What is Veeam ONE and why do I need it?

Veeam ONE is a monitoring and reporting tool for your Veeam backup infrastructure and VMware/Hyper-V virtualisation platform. It continuously monitors backup job status, infrastructure resource utilisation, and potential issues, alerting you before a problem causes a backup failure or performance degradation. For any organisation where backup reliability is a requirement, Veeam ONE is the difference between knowing your backups are working and hoping they are.

How fast can Veeam restore a virtual machine?

Veeam Instant Recovery allows you to start a failed virtual machine directly from the backup file in minutes, without waiting for a full restore. The VM runs from the backup storage while the data is simultaneously migrated to production storage in the background. For most organisations, this means recovery time measured in minutes rather than hours for a full VM failure.

Does Veeam support Azure and Microsoft 365 backup?

Yes. Veeam can replicate virtual machines directly to Azure, enabling a cloud-based disaster recovery target without dedicated secondary hardware. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 specifically protects Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams against accidental deletion, ransomware, and retention policy gaps — risks that Microsoft's native tools do not protect against.

What is the difference between Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam Backup Essentials?

Veeam Backup Essentials is a cost-effective bundle designed for smaller environments (up to 6 CPU sockets), combining Veeam Backup and Replication with Veeam ONE monitoring. Veeam Backup and Replication is the full enterprise product without socket limits, suited for larger environments. Sentire recommends the appropriate edition based on your infrastructure size and recovery requirements.

Can Veeam back up to Azure Blob Storage?

Yes. Veeam supports Azure Blob Storage as an offsite backup repository via Veeam Scale-out Backup Repository with a capacity tier. Older backup data is automatically tiered to Azure Blob at significantly lower cost than keeping all backup data on local storage. This gives you long-term retention at cloud economics without compromising recovery speed for recent backups, which remain on local or faster storage.
