Backup Agent Technical Overview
Backup Agent
Explore the technical capabilities of Backup Agent with this in-depth overview of its architecture, features and benefits. We’ll guide you through the most efficient way to configure and use our managed backup solution.
Key backup capabilities
Fully managed solution
Easy, peasy! Set up your Bare Metal backup solution from the OVHcloud Control Panel in just 10 minutes, and benefit from automatic everyday backups that run nightly at 10 p.m.
Sovereign and secure
Peace of mind! Data is never shared with Veeam or any other third parties. OVHcloud stores European customers’ data in datacentres located in Europe for ease and security.
Automatic alerts
No worries! Receive regular morning updates, complete with alerts about backup failure or potential issues.
Encryption-enabled security
What’s yours is yours! Stay secure with OVHcloud’s managed SSE-OMK and simplify encryption using a robust, easy-to-use encryption solution.
Reliable, immutable storage
Our standard offsite backup solution is reinforced by undeletable Object Storage, with a maximum of three vaults per customer. For extra peace of mind, we offer 14-day immutability (WriteOnceReadMany) and bucket-level encryption.
Backup protection you can back up
To ensure the highest level of customer data protection, we provide each customer with a maximum of three vaults, housed in locations separate from their Bare Metal server. Your data is exclusively managed by OVHcloud, but we rely on Veeam’s proven software to determine which OVHcloud vault(s) will store your data.
