How does it work?
Your VM's backup through Veeam as usual. A copy job is created to send the data to a service provider. The copy job reads the backup files before sending them through to the service provider, protecting against Ransome attacks. To transfer the data, the link uses an SSL connection to fully encrypt data as it is sent to our Data Centre. Within Veeam, you also have the option to encrypt at rest as well.
What Our Customers Say
We had been considering copying our Veeam backups offsite for a while and received quotes from several companies. We were impressed with the total cloud disaster recovery solution offered by Blue Sky Systems and decided to select them to provide our offsite backup using Veeam Cloud Connect. The setup was expertly handled and we were up and running in a very short timescale. Support has been excellent and we would gladly recommend Blue Sky Systems for this service.
St Edmund's College
We sought several quotes for our Veeam Cloud backup repository and mistakenly went with the cheapest. After several months of the slows speeds and failed backups we moved to Blue Sky Systems. Pricing was good but most of all the performance and support from day one has been fantastic.
