I have been looking forward to testing Veeam Data Cloud for quite some time. I first discussed it during the Veeam Summit in Berlin (2024) and again in Prague (2025). Today, I finally have the opportunity to experience it firsthand. Thank you very much @Karinne B.

 

Veeam Data Cloud is a comprehensive Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform that provides cloud-native data protection for modern workloads. Unlike the self-managed Veeam Data Platform, this SaaS offering includes the backup software, infrastructure, and storage in a single package.

 

I have previously discussed Why you should back up Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365, and some deployment options. Please, see the below

Today, I bring you a guide on “A-Z on Veeam Data Cloud: Workload Enrollment and Onboarding”.

    VDC is pretty cool I have tested it with being a Partner and it is good.  We are testing a few things more now.

    Great guide Christian. 👍

        ​@Iams3le That's great, this topic came at just the right time, I'm organizing an online meetup in Brazil on exactly this subject, what a coincidence that you published it today.
        I even spoke with Karinne about this today.
        I'll ask you about this topic in the coming days!!! :-)
        Congratulations on the article.

            Nice walkthrough Christian. As a customer..no real need to even look at that product, but I’m glad you all do so and share here. Gives me a better understanding of what it’s capable of. Thank you for sharing!

                Hey ​@Iams3le -

                I’m trying to respond to your PM but I have a msg stating you only receive msgs from people you follow. You can follow me or make a change to your PM settings in your Profile by clicking your profile > settings > general tab, then edit the last item about who to receive private msgs from 😊

                Thanks.

                    If you run into issues while onboarding Azure Tenant into VDC, here is a guide for you. You can also take a look at this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/troubleshooting?tabs=bicep

                          Great content! I’ve done several demos with VDC for M365 using the Veeam hands-on-lab since I don’t have an instance in my lab. This is great to see what you actually go through and might use some of it for my slides.
