About the Company

Veeam Software

Builds backup and recovery software for businesses

Veeam Software makes backup and recovery software that gets businesses' data back after ransomware attacks, outages, or mistakes, whether it sits on their own servers, in public clouds, or in apps like Microsoft 365. It made its name in 2008 with Backup & Replication, built to back up VMware virtual machines, and in 2010 added a way to restart a failed server straight from its backup file. Its software keeps locked copies on-site or in Veeam's own cloud, scans them for malware before a restore, and tracks where sensitive data lives and which people and AI agents reach it. Companies buy subscriptions directly or through resellers and service providers. Veeam was founded in 2006 and is based in Kirkland, Washington, United States.
