If you’re managing backups stored in the cloud, you’ve probably wrestled with infrastructure headaches, cost control, and security. Enter Veeam Data Cloud Vault (VDC Vault)—Veeam’s fully-managed, secure cloud storage solution built on Azure Blob Storage. VDC Vault isn’t just another bucket in the cloud; it’s a hands-off, immutable, designed to keep your data out of harm’s way and out of your own infrastructure.
So why choose VDC Vault? You get Azure’s scale and security, but with Veeam’s management, automation, and immutability baked in. It’s separated from your own environment, making it ideal for ransomware recovery, long-term retention, and compliance. You don’t need to DIY your own BLOB storage or worry about setting it up correctly—Veeam handles all that for you. It’s a simple subscription service: add Vault as a repository in Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR), set up your jobs, and you’re off.
Many organisations are moving to VDC Vault but, as with all migrations, there are caveats and best practices. Here’s what we’ve learned.
