Veeam Backup Essentials with Enterprise Plus Edition offers enterprise-grade data protection in a streamlined, subscription-based package designed for small and mid-sized businesses. This edition combines robust backup, replication, and rapid recovery capabilities with the flexibility and predictable cost structure of a subscription license. It is ideal for organizations that run virtual, physical, and cloud workloads and want a unified solution that can scale as their IT environment grows. By delivering centralized management, automated testing, and fast restoration, Veeam Backup Essentials helps minimize downtime, reduce data loss, and simplify IT operations without the overhead of large enterprise deployments. The Enterprise Plus edition elevates standard backup functionality with advanced features that ensure recoverability, compliance, and operational continuity across diverse environments. With a subscription model, you gain ongoing access to product updates, flexible licensing, and predictable budgeting, making it a compelling choice for MSPs, VARs, and internal IT teams responsible for safeguarding business-critical data.

• All-in-one protection for SMBs: Protect physical servers, virtual machines, desktops, and cloud workloads from a single, centralized console. This comprehensive approach simplifies backup strategies, reduces the risk of data loss, and enables fast, reliable restores across diverse environments. Whether you’re backing up VMware, Hyper-V, or cloud assets, this solution provides consistent policies and repeatable workflows that align with IT governance and recovery objectives.
• Enterprise Plus features for superior recoverability: The Enterprise Plus edition unlocks advanced capabilities such as automated backup verification (SureBackup), reliable replication (SureReplica), near-instant recovery options, granular item recovery, and robust data integrity checks. These features empower IT teams to verify recoverability automatically, minimize planned and unplanned downtime, and restore mission-critical services quickly, even in complex multi-site configurations.
• Subscription licensing for predictable costs and flexibility: Instead of large upfront purchases, you benefit from a scalable, subscription-based model that aligns with your operational budget. The subscription approach simplifies license management, enables rapid expansion as your environment grows, and ensures you always have access to the latest features, security updates, and product enhancements without disruptive upgrade cycles.
• Wide platform and cloud coverage: Protect virtualized infrastructure (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V), physical servers, workstations, and cloud resources with options for on-premises repositories, off-site storage, and cloud targets. This broad compatibility ensures you can consolidate data protection for diverse workloads under one solution, reducing complexity and creating a unified disaster recovery strategy across on-prem and cloud environments.
• Centralized management and streamlined operations: A single, intuitive console lets IT teams design, deploy, and monitor backup and recovery tasks with ease. Automated backup verification, policy-based scheduling, and role-based access control help maintain security and compliance while freeing administrators to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance.
