Veeam® Software, a global leader in data resilience and data security posture management, announced the general availability of Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive. The new archival-class cloud tier provides enterprise organizations with a low-cost, fully managed storage destination designed for long-term data retention, regulatory compliance, and cold data governance.
With the increase in volume of corporate data, the information technology department has to incur more costs due to having old backup data, unstructured data, and redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data stored in primary storage which is performance-oriented. Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive brings closure to the cycle of backups through an automated policy-based destination to store inactive data in cheap cloud storage.
“Data powers organizations, and trusted AI requires trusted data,” said Rehan Jalil, President of Products and Technology at Veeam. “That means data must be protected, isolated, recoverable and stored in the right location — even when it is no longer actively used. Long-term retention of that data has become a cyber resilience, compliance and cost challenge all at once. Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive gives customers a secure, immutable, and cost-effective way to tier aging backups, cold and ROT data off premium storage while keeping a trusted copy on storage better fit for long-term retention.”

Accelerating Cost Optimization and Replacing Legacy Tape
Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive addresses critical operational bottlenecks associated with legacy tape systems and high-cost cloud storage tiers:
Retiring ROT Data Efficiently: Automated policies within Veeam Data Platform v13.1 allow organizations to offload cold backups and large unstructured data sets including Network-Attached Storage (NAS) archives—from expensive primary tiers to low-cost archival storage.
A Modern Alternative to Physical Tape: Eliminates the operational friction, transportation risks, offsite logistics delays, and physical handling overhead inherent to tape archives.
Immutable Cyber Resilience: Keeps archived backup data encrypted, logically air-gapped, and immutable to prevent unauthorized modification or deletion by ransomware threat actors.
Integrated Clean Restores: Working alongside Veeam Data Platform v13.1, the system scans data before long-term archiving to verify clean, malware-free restore points for future recovery.
Immediate Enterprise Availability
Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive is generally available today alongside the release of Veeam Data Platform v13.1 through Veeam’s global network of authorized channel partners, resellers, distributors, and cloud marketplaces.
