Elevate your data protection strategy with the Veeam Backup & Replication Upgrade Subscription. This comprehensive licensing option unlocks the latest features, accelerated cloud deployment capabilities, and ongoing enhancements designed to simplify management, boost recovery confidence, and protect hybrid environments that span on-premises, cloud, and edge. Whether you’re safeguarding virtual machines, physical servers, or cloud-native workloads, this upgrade subscription keeps you on the cutting edge of reliability, performance, and scalability. Expect streamlined upgrades, enhanced security, and smarter automation that helps you meet tight recovery SLAs while controlling costs.

• Always-on access to the latest features: With the Upgrade Subscription, you receive automatic access to product enhancements, security hardening, and performance optimizations as soon as they’re released. This means your backup and replication workflows stay current without disruptive manual license renewals, ensuring compatibility with evolving environments and emerging platform support.
• Robust cloud deployment options: Benefit from seamless cloud integration that powers hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. The subscription supports cloud tier offloading, off-site backups to public clouds, DR orchestration across major providers, and scalable object storage workflows for long-term retention, reducing on-premises footprint while maintaining fast, reliable recovery.
• Immutable backups and ransomware protection: Strengthen defense against threats with built-in immutability and verification features. Immutable backups help prevent tampering, ensure data integrity, and support compliance initiatives, giving you confidence that protected copies remain pristine and recoverable when you need them most.
• Flexible licensing and predictable costs: A subscription model delivers budgeting simplicity with predictable renewals and scalable capacity as your environment grows. License portability across servers and workloads minimizes friction during expansion, migration, or changes in topology, helping you optimize total cost of ownership.
• Advanced recovery capabilities for fast uptime: Elevate recovery performance with instant VM Recovery, automated verification (SureBackup), and replica testing (SureReplica). These capabilities accelerate restoration, validate recoverability, and reduce downtime—critical for meeting stringent RTOs and maintaining service levels.
