Reliable, immutable storage

Our standard offsite backup solution is assured via undeletable Object Storage across three vaults max per customer. For extra reassurance, we offer 14 days' immutability (WriteOnceReadMany) and bucket-level encryption.

Multi-location backup resilience

In order to best protect our customers' data, we assign each customer up to three vaults in separate locations from their Bare Metal server. Your data is solely managed by OVHcloud, but we rely on Veeam's proven software to designate in which OVHcloud vault(s) we will store your data.
