How are Veeam backups protected against ransomware?
Veeam supports immutable backup storage. An immutable backup cannot be changed or deleted until its retention period ends. We keep at least one backup copy on immutable storage or at a separate location.
Can Veeam back up Proxmox VE virtual machines?
Yes. Veeam Backup & Replication backs up and restores Proxmox VE virtual machines with the Veeam Plug-in for Proxmox VE. In Proxmox environments, we also use Proxmox Backup Server. We make the choice by the existing backup infrastructure and the recovery needs.

Yes. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backs up Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Microsoft Teams data. We install and monitor this backup within our Microsoft 365 Backup service.
Who monitors the backups after the Veeam installation?
We monitor the backup jobs within our backup services. We examine and correct a failed job. We do restore tests at the agreed interval.
Which storage does a Veeam backup go to?
The backup repository can be a local disk, a NAS device or cloud storage. Veeam Vault is the immutable cloud storage service of Veeam. We apply the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, two different media and one off-site copy.
How is disaster recovery done with Veeam?
We keep the backups of critical servers at a second location. In a disaster, Instant Recovery runs the virtual machine from the backup in a short time. In our Disaster Recovery (DRaaS) service, we write the recovery steps into a plan and do drills.
