In 2025, AI is integral to how organizations manage, protect, and extract value from their data. Thanks to Model Context Protocol (MCP), Veeam Intelligence gives teams the ability to link their backup data to their AI workflows to drive further innovation, enhance security, and accelerate digital transformation.
This approach ensures that AI adoption isn’t just about speed but about maintaining compliance, strengthening resilience, and transforming backup data into a trusted intelligence layer for smarter, safer decision-making.
Veeam Intelligence gives you an AI-powered edge to actively defend data, automate compliance reporting, and eliminate blind spots across your environment.
What’s New in 2025
2025 marks a turning point for AI-driven data resilience at Veeam. This year’s innovations aren’t just incremental. Veeam’s latest innovations redefine how enterprises connect, analyze, act on backup data with AI.
Two highlights stand out:
Integration with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Veeam recently announced support for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard that opens the door for AI applications and agents alike to securely tap into backup data, vector databases, and knowledge sources. MCP mitigates the risks associated with transferring data between applications and ensures that AI tools interact securely with organizations’ datasets. This means enterprise teams can:
- Use natural language to query backup data without exposing sensitive environments.
- Power bespoke AI agents with accurate, real-time context drawn directly from protected sources.
- Improve workflow efficiency like compliance evidence collection, audit reporting, and data discovery, while preserving zero-trust safeguards.
Veeam Intelligence in Veeam Data Platform & Veeam Data Cloud
Veeam Intelligence is built directly into Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Data Cloud, and delivers:
- In-product guidance through instant sourcing of official technical, knowledge base, and user guides.
- Instant backup health analysis through custom reports on your alarms, policy violations, and job statuses.
Veeam Intelligence delivers real-time guidance and backup health insights, helping teams troubleshoot faster and make smarter decisions across hybrid environments.
Capabilities You Can Use Today
While the 2025 roadmap is setting the stage for the future, Veeam Intelligence is already delivering tangible benefits right now. Practical, in-product capabilities you can put to work today include:
AI-Powered Threat Detection & Risk Scoring
Veeam analyzes backup data to identify anomalies like ransomware indicators, suspicious file changes, or policy violations. Instead of scattering these signals across tools, Veeam Intelligence centralizes them in a risk scoring view based on your organization’s unique parameters. This provides:
- Prioritized response paths. AI correlation helps security teams focus on the most critical alerts, cutting through noise and reducing time spent on false positives.
- Early detection inside restore points. Backup admins get visibility into potential threats that may otherwise go undetected until recovery.
- Strategic risk oversight. CISOs and IT leaders gain trend analysis and dashboards that reveal recurring weak points and resilience gaps over time.
- Reduced dwell time. By surfacing anomalies directly in the data protection layer, organizations can spot attacks earlier, often before they spread into production.
- Cross-team alignment. Risk scores tie to business impact, helping executives, security teams, and backup admins communicate using a shared language of risk.
Veeam backup environments are now smarter than ever before.
Personalized Assistance in your Backup Environments
Veeam Intelligence is an expert on how to smoothly run your Veeam environments with:
- Step-by-step guidance, troubleshooting, and recommendations.
- Contextual reporting support so you can generate documentation with less manual effort.
Whether you’re a backup admin new to Veeam or a seasoned operator, Veeam Intelligence streamlines daily tasks and resolves issues faster.
Intelligent Diagnostics & Remediation
With Veeam Intelligent Diagnostics (VID), your environment is continuously analyzed against a library of known issue signatures. If a log entry indicates a potential failure or misconfiguration:
- VID matches the issue automatically, so you don’t need to hunt for the root cause.
- It then offers actionable remediation steps, before an incident escalates.
- Over time, this improves operational resilience by reducing recurring problems.
What makes VID especially powerful is its ability to shift teams from reactive troubleshooting to proactive prevention. By spotting early warning signs across backup and infrastructure logs, it prevents small misconfigurations from snowballing into downtime. For service providers and enterprises with strict SLAs, this means higher availability, fewer emergency escalations, and faster time-to-resolution.
Get Started
Veeam Intelligence creates a bridge between efficiency, defense, and innovation. By shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive oversight, it reduces risk, automates compliance, and eliminates blind spots.
With real-time threat detection, AI-powered insights, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, your backup data becomes a strategic asset which fuels stronger security, deeper observability, and faster digital transformation.

FAQs
- What is MCP and why does it matter for backup data?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely interact with systems and data sources that house critical organizational information. Through a specialized two-way connection, MCP establishes a universal connection for linking AI with enterprise data. The result: a safer, more reliable way to link data sources to your organization’s data lakes.
- What makes Veeam Intelligence different from a generic LLM?
Generic large language models are trained on public internet data which means they often lack context about your specific environment. Veeam Intelligence is different. It’s product-aware, secure, and draws directly from official Veeam documentation, including configuration data and your own backup environments*. That means answers are not only accurate, but also relevant to your setup. It’s also multilingual, giving teams around the world consistent guidance in their native language.
- How does Veeam keep the use of backup data with AI compliant?
Compliance and governance are baked into the design of Veeam Intelligence. Access to backup data is scope-limited, meaning Veeam Intelligence can operate only within approved boundaries and datasets. It cannot “see” beyond what is permitted by the user. Every action is logged with a fully detailed audit trail. Retention policies ensure data is only kept for as long as needed and then is properly disposed of. Combined with Veeam’s encryption, immutability, and RBAC, these safeguards make sure your environments remain secure, auditable, and compliant with the latest AI-focused frameworks.
