Is Veeam Cloud Connect Right for You?
You're already running Veeam Backup & Replication
If your on-prem backups are running on Veeam Backup & Replication, you already have the hard part done. Veeam Cloud Connect is the missing offsite leg — add our endpoint to your VBR console as a Cloud Repository, point your backup copy job at it, and your offsite copies start flowing. No second backup product to learn, no separate console.
You want UK-stored backups for compliance
Data sovereignty matters when your backups contain customer records, financial data, or anything covered by GDPR. Our Veeam Cloud Connect target lives in our ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre — UK-based, UK-managed, no AWS/Azure region dance. End-to-end encryption is on by default; we can't read your data even if we wanted to.
You want a real human if recovery goes wrong
The point of offsite backups is being able to restore. When that day comes you don't want a ticket queue — you want the engineer who runs the storage on the phone. UK business hours: typically a 3-ring answer. Out of hours: on-call cover for emergencies. We've used Veeam in production for over a decade.

Veeam Cloud Connect allows you to duplicate your backup files, data and virtual servers to another location. We provide scalable storage for your Veeam data in our Sheffield data center and also to partner data centres.
All data is stored in the UK on equipment that belongs to us. You can then use these this backup data to restore from or for Disaster Recovery, using our DRAS "disaster recovery as a service".
Remove the cost and complexity of managing a second storage and compute infrastructure.
Continue to use your existing Veeam console for the centralised management of your data.
All your Veeam backup data, no matter what type is completely protected and available for recovery.
Just point your backup or replica jobs to one of our Veeam Cloud Repositories and with a few clicks and you are ready to go.
Your data is always encrypted, ensuring your Backups are as safe and confidential as they would be on your own off-site storage location.
Our storage is built for the long term using HP hardware and Ceph.

Our Veeam Cloud Connect pricing starts with just 1TB of data. The more data you need and the longer you commit, the cheaper our VCC pricing gets.
Do I Need a Separate License?
Your Veeam Backup and Replication license may already include a cloud connect license.

Veeam Cloud Connect FAQs
Common questions about UK Veeam Cloud Connect in our Sheffield data centre.
How much does Veeam Cloud Connect cost in the UK?
Our Veeam Cloud Connect pricing starts at £17.50 per TB per month, billed in 0.5 TB increments so you only pay for the storage you actually use. Storage sits on Ceph in our ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre with end-to-end encryption on by default. Veeam Cloud Connect licences may be required depending on your existing Veeam agreement. No setup fees, monthly contract.
What is Veeam Cloud Connect?
Veeam Cloud Connect is an add-on service to Veeam Backup & Replication that lets you send backup copies or VM replicas to a service provider for offsite storage and disaster recovery. Copies and replicas can come from a single location or multiple sites into our Sheffield data centre, giving you a UK-based offsite copy for the 3-2-1 rule, ransomware resilience and compliance.
How does Veeam Cloud Connect work?
Your local Veeam Backup & Replication server connects to our cloud gateway over TLS, with all traffic encrypted in transit. Backup data flows through the gateway to a Veeam Cloud Connect repository on Ceph in our Sheffield data centre. From there it can be restored or, in the case of replicas, booted as a virtual server in our environment. You stay in control of jobs, retention and encryption keys.
Where does Veeam Cloud Connect store my backups?
On our Ceph cluster in our ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre. UK-resident, UK-managed by our own engineering team, with end-to-end encryption on by default. No AWS or Azure region dance, no overseas hops. Worth knowing for GDPR, ICO and any sector that needs evidence of where customer data physically lives.
How do I install Veeam Cloud Connect with HA Hosting?
In your Veeam Backup & Replication console, open Backup Infrastructure and right-click Service Providers, then Add service provider. Enter the DNS name we send you with the default port 6180, then paste in the credentials we provide. Click Apply, then Finish. You can now target the cloud repository from any backup copy or replication job. Full walkthrough available on request.
What's the difference between Veeam Cloud Connect and Backup Storage?
Both run on the same Ceph cluster in our Sheffield data centre, with the same encryption and same UK sovereignty. Veeam Cloud Connect is pre-configured specifically for Veeam Backup & Replication users with no VM to manage. Backup Storage gives you a dedicated VM you can run any backup tool inside, useful for Acronis, Duplicati, restic or rsync workloads. If you already use Veeam B&R, Cloud Connect is usually the simpler option.
Can I do disaster recovery with a Veeam Cloud Connect replica?
Yes. A Veeam Cloud Connect replica is a usable copy of a server that can boot up in our environment if your primary site goes offline. Replicas use Veeam's virtualisation integration to come up as a virtual server in our data centre, so you can keep running while your on-site infrastructure is recovered. Failback to your own site is built into the workflow.

Glossary
Data and Metadata
Data is the information itself where as Metadata is information about the data such as size, type, creation time etc.
GUID
Globally Unique Identifier, a refererence unique to the item used by computer systems to keep track of items
Object storage or object based storage
Manages storage as objects as opposed to files and folders or data blocks within sectors. Object storage includes the data. metadata and a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)
DRaaS
Disaster Recovery as a Service, a complete service that protects data and makes it availble to use when it is required.DRaas is available with several options of software and hardware plans.
Backup
Also refered to as a Data Backup is a task that creates a backup copy of the data, which are added backup files, which can be used to restore the original data.
They can be, run manually, scheduled once or at regular intervals.
Cloud Gateways
We use cloud gateway appliances that act as communication points, routing commands and traffic between the your Veeam backup server and our Veeam infrastructure.
Virtual Machines
A virtual machine or VM is the virtualization/emulation of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer that runs as software.
Cloud Computing or Cloud Service
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources which can help in reducing capital expenses.
Hybrid Cloud
Using a combination of a public cloud and a private infrastrucuture environment for virtualisation is referred to as Hybrid Cloud. The use of on premises resources is referred to as private cloud and anything that can be bought as a service is public cloud. Using a combination can be beneficial giving the best of both solutions.
Backup Repository
A backup repository is data storage made available to a backup job, they can be at different locations and for specific backup software. VCC connects you to our backup storage for your exsiting Veeam backup jobs.
VM replicas
A virtual machine exists as a single file, when you back that file up and keep a copy in a remote location. If you have compute resources available you can run that VM at the second location. The combination of offsite data storage and compute resources is referred to as a VM Replica to distinguish from a plain backup.
Offsite backup
Any solution that protects your data and keeps a copy in a secondf location. This used to be accomplished by having phycial tapes collected each day and stored in a secure remote location. This days with the speed of network connectivity and the pervasiveness of the internet offsite is much easier and quicker.
