Platform9 Backup with Veeam
Integrated through the new Universal Hypervisor API in Veeam 13.1. Requires Platform9 2026.4 or later.
Why Platform9 and Veeam
Platform9 is one of the first two platforms to arrive through the Universal Hypervisor API (UHAPI), the path Veeam 13.1 opens for hypervisor vendors to certify their own integration. In practice that means real product support, not a bespoke development, for a platform aimed at those migrating off VMware while keeping a familiar management experience.
Integration through the Universal Hypervisor API introduced in Veeam 13.1.
Requires Platform9 version 2026.4 or later.
CBT backup, full and granular restore and Instant Recovery to vSphere, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV or Proxmox VE.
What you can do with Veeam
Protection capabilities available on Platform9 in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.
Agentless incremental backup
Forever-incremental copies using CBT. Only changed blocks travel, shrinking the backup window and network usage.
Instant Recovery
Boot the machine straight from the repository in minutes, without waiting for a full restore. Targets: vSphere, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV or Proxmox VE.
Granular restore
Recover a single file, a mailbox or a database table without bringing up the whole VM or restoring the entire backup.
Application-aware processing
Consistent copies of SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and PostgreSQL, with log truncation and point-in-time restore.
Malware scanning
Content analysis of the backup to spot dormant threats and locate the last clean point before restoring.
Immutable offsite copy
Automatic shipping of restore points to our Madrid repository, with immutability and end-to-end encryption.
And the copy that saves you: offsite at EasyDataHost
Local backup handles accidental deletion. It does not handle fire, theft, or ransomware that reaches the backup console. That is why the copy of your Platform9 environment leaves your infrastructure and lands in our Tier III+ Madrid data center.
Real immutability
Once written, the copy cannot be modified or deleted until retention expires. Not even with compromised admin credentials.
End-to-end encryption
AES-256 in transit and at rest. You hold the keys: without them the data is unreadable, including to us.
ENS High and ISO 27001
Infrastructure certified to ENS High (RD 311/2022) and ISO 27001:2022, audited by SGS.
Data in Spain
Tier III+ data center in Madrid (Data4, Alcobendas). Data residency on Spanish soil and GDPR compliance.
24/7 support
Engineers who know your platform. No escalation to a support centre in another time zone.
Veeam Gold Partner
Licences at a discount on list price, architecture design and rollout included.
How it works
Veeam protects your Platform9 environment
Backup jobs run against your infrastructure and write to your local repository, on the window and retention you define.
A backup copy job does the rest
You add our repository as the secondary target. Veeam ships restore points automatically, incrementally and encrypted.
GFS retention and immutability
Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly per your policy. With immutability on, nobody can delete them early — you included.
You restore when you need to
Full VM, disk, file or application, straight from the offsite copy and without downloading the whole backup.
