Veeam Data Platform is backup and recovery software from Veeam for virtual machines, physical servers and cloud workloads, run on-premises by the MSP or through Veeam Data Cloud as a SaaS offering.
Listing updated . Checked by MSP Software .
Veeam Data Platform is backup and replication software from Veeam for virtual machines, physical servers and cloud workloads, widely used by MSPs running their own backup infrastructure for clients and by larger IT teams managing it in-house. Its image-based, application-aware backup is built specifically around VMware and Hyper-V, so it suits environments already standardised on one of those hypervisors more than mixed or niche virtualisation setups. MSPs who want to own the backup repository themselves, rather than depend entirely on a vendor's cloud storage, are a natural fit, since Veeam Data Platform is commonly resold under an MSP's own backup-as-a-service offering with the MSP controlling where data is stored. Veeam also offers Veeam Data Cloud as a cloud-hosted SaaS option, and a separate product covers Microsoft 365 backup for mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint with distinct licensing.
Pricing is per socket or per workload depending on the product line, and is typically sold through a distributor rather than published as a simple per-seat figure, since most MSPs price their own backup-as-a-service offering built on top of it rather than reselling a fixed retail price. Core backup features include ransomware detection with automated malware scanning, immutable backup design, bare-metal recovery, and instant recovery for rapid RTO. Veeam Data Platform integrates with most major storage, hypervisor and cloud platforms, and MSPs commonly layer their own PSA ticketing and monitoring around Veeam's own alerting and reporting console rather than getting alerts inside a single unified dashboard out of the box. Before buying, confirm current licensing terms with a Veeam distributor for the specific product line needed (core backup, Microsoft 365 backup, or both) and check what integration work is required to route Veeam's alerts into an existing PSA, since that is not automatic.

Veeam Data Platform pricing varies by product line. Core backup is typically per socket or per workload, depending on the specific licence purchased. Pricing is not published on Veeam's site; it is negotiated through a distributor based on the customer's specific environment, number of sockets, workloads and any Microsoft 365 seats. An MSP reselling Veeam as a backup-as-a-service offering will typically establish its own pricing on top of the Veeam licence cost.
Veeam Data Platform is typically run by the MSP on its own backup repository rather than delivered as a fully hosted cloud service, which is different from cloud-first backup products. Many MSPs resell it as part of their own backup-as-a-service offering, controlling where the data is stored, though this means the MSP is responsible for the storage infrastructure Veeam backs up to, not just the software licence. For a fully hosted SaaS option, Veeam offers Veeam Data Cloud.
Server and virtual machine backup with Veeam Data Platform and Microsoft 365 backup for mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint through Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 are separate products with their own licensing, not one bundled package. An MSP that needs both should confirm pricing and licensing for each product line separately with a Veeam distributor, since they are not automatically included with one another.
Veeam Data Platform's image-based, application-aware backup is built specifically around VMware and Hyper-V, so it is the strongest fit for environments already standardised on one of those two. MSPs running other or mixed virtualisation platforms should confirm current hypervisor support directly with Veeam or a distributor before assuming full feature parity.
Not out of the box. Veeam Data Platform has its own alerting and reporting console, and MSPs commonly layer their own PSA ticketing and monitoring on top of it rather than getting tickets created automatically without configuration. Anyone evaluating Veeam should check what integration work, scripting or a third-party connector, is required to route its alerts into the PSA already in use.
