Hosted Backups — Australia & Pacific
Veeam-powered backup, delivered from our infrastructure as a service. Use it as your off-site copy, your only copy, or your long-term tape vault.
Netcraft is a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partner. That status gives us the licensing and the platform to host Veeam Cloud Connect repositories, supply Veeam Rental Licences month-by-month, and write your backups out to physical LTO tape — without you needing to invest in any of that infrastructure yourself.
Veeam VCSP Cloud Storage
As a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partner, we host Cloud Connect repositories that your on-premise Veeam Backup & Replication server can target directly. No third-party tooling, no manual export.
Encryption in flight and at rest, immutability windows and bandwidth controls are configured to your policy.
Veeam Rental Licences
Pay for Veeam per workload, per month, instead of buying perpetual licences up front. Licence counts scale with the VMs, agents and Microsoft 365 seats you are actively protecting, and adjust each month as your environment changes.
This is the simplest way to roll Veeam out across a small environment, an MSP fleet, or a project with an uncertain end date.
Off-site Storage
Backups held on the same site as production break the first rule of 3-2-1. We provide the off-site copy: replicated to our infrastructure over Cloud Connect, with retention and scheduling configured to your policy rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
Tape as a Service
For long-term retention or a true air gap, we write your backups to LTO tape on a schedule that matches your retention policy. Tapes are catalogued, rotated and stored offline.
Ransomware that reaches your network cannot reach a tape sitting on a shelf. For finance, health and government workloads with long retention requirements, tape is still the cheapest way to keep years of history without paying cloud egress every time you test a restore.
Veeam-native, off-site, and offline when you need it.
Most ransomware playbooks start by destroying local backups before encrypting production. Cloud Connect supports immutability locks that an authenticated attacker cannot shorten, and tape adds a copy that nothing on your network can touch. Combined with Netcraft’s 24×7 infrastructure support, you get the off-site half of a 3-2-1 strategy without building a second data centre yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
›What is a Veeam VCSP Cloud Storage Partner?
VCSP is Veeam’s Cloud & Service Provider programme. As a VCSP partner, Netcraft is authorised to host Veeam Cloud Connect repositories and deliver Veeam-based services to other businesses. Your on-premise Veeam Backup & Replication server targets our infrastructure directly — there is no third-party shim in the path.
›Do I need to buy Veeam licences before using your backup service?
No. We resell Veeam Rental Licences on a monthly basis, charged per protected workload. You avoid the up-front capital cost of perpetual licences and pay only for what you are actively backing up that month.
›How does Tape as a Service work?
We write a copy of your backups to LTO tape on a schedule that matches your retention policy. Tapes are catalogued, rotated and stored offline, separately from the live repository, so they remain a copy that ransomware cannot reach over the network.
›Can you also manage the Veeam server on our site?
Yes. Our infrastructure-support engineers can run day-to-day Veeam administration — job design, monitoring, restore testing and capacity planning — under our standard support tiers. See /infrastructure-support for tier detail.
›How does hosted backup fit with our disaster-recovery plan?
Hosted backup provides the off-site copy required by a 3-2-1 strategy and is normally the foundation of any DR plan. For replicated VMs, secondary sites and policy work, see /disaster-recovery.
