Security is especially important when choosing backup solutions for businesses, since the data stored in your backups is a goldmine to your business. Unfortunately, it’s a goldmine to any malicious attackers as well. To keep things safe and secure, your backup solution should offer the methodology to:

• Maintain three copies of your backups on two storage types, one of which is off site, plus  ideally one air‑gapped or immutable copy. 
• Prioritize sending and storing data in a secure and encrypted manner.
• Provide the tools to test the security of your backup data post-backup and pre‑recovery.
• Facilitate automated and regular backup testing.

Veeam Data Platform is licensed per supported workload. A workload can be a virtual machine (VM), physical server, cloud VM, enterprise application, NAS file share and more. With VUL, customers can use their licenses to protect any workload, since the licenses are portable. Most workloads require just one license instance- Virtual Machine – 1 license- Cloud Virtual Machine – 1 license- Enterprise application – 1 license- NAS/File Share – 1 license per 500GB capacity- Workstation – 1 license protects 3 workstations/endpoints- VUL licenses are sold in minimum quantities of 10 licenses. If the minimum purchase requirement of 10 licenses is a barrier, we suggest trying Veeam Data Platform Essentials™, which is sold in 5 license bundles, up to a maximum of 50 workloads for small business needs.
