The software platform support has expanded and provides backup, optional malware detection scans during backup, restore, replication/CDP, and much more functionality for virtual machines, physical servers, workstations as well as cloud-based workloads[5] and unstructured data.

It backs up VMs at the image-level using a hypervisor's snapshots to retrieve VM data.

[7] Backup increments are created using the built-in changed block tracking (CBT) mechanism.

Backups can be stored on-premises, transferred to off-site repositories via the WAN,[11] saved to tape media for long-term retention, or sent to cloud storage.

[22][23] Veeam Backup & Replication also have build in direct NFS agent which allows to access NetApp snapshots directly from NAS storage bypassing hosts for backup, restore & storage scan operations.

[24] Image-based VM replication is also available via Veeam Cloud Connect for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).

There is support for deduplicating storage systems such as EMC Data Domain,[27] ExaGrid[28] and HP StoreOnce Catalyst and NetApp Cloud Backup (AltaVault).

The software architecture supports onsite, offsite and cloud-base data protection, operations across remote sites and geographically dispersed locations.
