Veeam is excited to announce the availability of Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive (Vault Archive). This provides customers with a lower-cost archive tier for aged backups, large unstructured data sets, and redundant, obsolete or trivial (ROT) data. 

  • Vault Archive utilizes Azure Blob Archive tier
  • Supported as a primary backup target for unstructured data (NAS) backups or as an Archive Tier of a scale-out backup repository
  • Automatically moves or copies GFS restore points from Vault Standard to Vault Archive
  • Does not require an archiver appliance
  • No extra compute to deploy, manage or pay for
  • Secure by default: immutability, AES 256-bit encryption and logical air-gapping

Veeam Vault Archive extends the fully managed Vault experience to archive storage, built for secure, compliant and long-term backup retention. This new offering helps organizations move older, rarely used backup data off expensive storage and to a more-cost effective solution.

Nice to see this.  Will there be a V100 NFR deal with this so we can test it? 😋🤣

I think it's a good move :)

  1. What is retrieval cost for 1TB from VDC Vault Archive? 
  2. When can we expect this offer in the VCSP program similar as Vault Foundation and Advanced?

Hi ​@kirststoner12 - I hope you can help. Should a client be using Azure currently (they are running VBR) as an archive, would there be any transactional costs in moving their Azure archived data to VDC Vault archive? Same data center in Ireland.

Hi ​@GerhardGibbs  - To be clear, your asking if a customer could move their backup data stored in Azure Blob, to VDC Vault Archive? Short answer, there is always a cost with moving data around. However, it would depend on how much data and how easy it is to transfer.
