Veeam Cloud Connect (VCC) - offsite backups

Secure, UK‑Based Off‑Site Backup and Disaster Recovery for Veeam

Store your local VM backups in a secure external location.

PeaSoup Cloud provides a UK-hosted Veeam Cloud Connect service that enables secure, encrypted, and immutable off-site backup directly from Veeam Backup & Replication, without additional licenses or secondary infrastructure.

What is Veeam Cloud Connect (VCC)

Veeam Cloud Connect is a Veeam‑native technology that allows you to send backup and replica data securely to an accredited cloud service provider.

With PeaSoup Cloud, this means:

  • Encrypted backup data transferred directly from your Veeam environment

  • Storage hosted exclusively in UK data centres

  • No additional Veeam licenses required

  • Full control retained within your existing Veeam console

This approach removes the complexity and cost of maintaining a second site while significantly improving resilience and recoverability.

How PeaSoup Veeam Cloud Connect Works

  1. Configure once in Veeam – Add PeaSoup Cloud Connect as a service provider in your (your client) existing Veeam Backup & Replication console.

  2. Encrypt and transfer data – Backup data is encrypted in transit using TLS and written securely to PeaSoup storage.

  3. Immutable storage protection – Backups are protected against deletion or modification, safeguarding against ransomware.

  4. Recover when needed – Restore individual files, applications, or entire environments directly from PeaSoup.

This architecture ensures predictable recovery times and eliminates the risks associated with manual data handling.
