Put your backups to work with
data reuse

Veeam Backup & Replication
Full functionality for 30 days

Unleash your backup data and accelerate business

Undeniably, valuable data is contained in your backups and replicas. These backup copies of your production data typically sit idle, collecting dust and waiting to be used in a recovery scenario. Veeam® can help you unleash your backup data and enable your workload administrators by unlocking multiple use cases that leverage fresh production data and agility to reduce costs. Achieve faster application deployment, mitigate risk by testing new upgrades and patches before rolling them out, and gain true flexibility for DevOps and DevTest.

FAQ

What is data reuse?

Data reuse is the ability to make your existing data work to accelerate your business goals in new ways. For example, a gold mine of information sits dormant inside of your backups simply waiting to be tapped. Backup data is a fantastic source of fresh data, or data close to production, to be used for important testing operations — security and patch testing for example.

To best reuse your backup data, a solution like Veeam Backup & Replication™ can be used to instantly make your backup data available. The ability to be instant allows you to test with fresh data and accelerate other processes, including data mining and training — all from just a backup.

Can you use the cloud to test your backups?

With cloud being a naturally dynamic environment that can be used to run even the largest of data centers, it is natural to take advantage of its power to perform regular backup testing. Key capabilities found in specialized backup software will help you to not only use the power of the cloud for backup and recovery testing, but will also ensure that your data arrives safely to the cloud where it waits to be restored.

A solution like Veeam Backup & Replication can automatically migrate your backups to the cloud immediately after each backup. Data is kept safe and encrypted on its journey to the cloud, where Veeam takes advantage of immutability to ensure that the backups cannot be changed or deleted throughout their life cycle. Finally, Veeam’s next-generation Instant Recovery Engine can instantly spin up copies of your production environment in the cloud for backup and recovery testing without the cost or disruption of replicating your environment on premises.
