Hello , We are planning to migrate our infrastructure from an on-premises Hyper-V environment to Microsoft Azure. Our current environment consists of: Hyper-V virtual machines protected by Veeam Backup & Replication.
- The Veeam Backup & Replication server is currently running as a Hyper-V virtual machine. A NAS device is used as the backup repository, which will also be decommissioned as part of the migration.
- We would like your guidance on the following: Does Veeam offer a cloud-hosted or SaaS-based backup management solution that can replace our on-premises Veeam Backup & Replication server? If such a solution is available, can it manage and protect Azure virtual machines while providing the same or similar functionality as Veeam Backup & Replication?
- If a cloud-hosted Veeam solution is not available, what is the recommended architecture for customers migrating entirely to Azure?
- Additionally, regarding our backup repository: We plan to decommission our existing NAS repository and migrate the existing backup files to new storage. Is it supported to move the existing backup chain to the new repository and continue the same backup chain without creating a new full backup? What is the recommended procedure for migrating the repository while preserving backup history and ensuring future backups continue successfully? We would appreciate any recommendations and documentation regarding the best migration approach for this scenario.
Thank you.
