Veeam launches SaaS backup for Microsoft Entra ID in Data Cloud
Veeam Software has introduced a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) backup solution for Microsoft Entra ID designed to strengthen data protection for organisations using the identity management platform. Microsoft Entra ID, previously known as Azure AD, is currently subject to more than 600 million attacks daily, highlighting the importance of digital identity security. The new Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Entra ID aims to simplify data resilience measures for Entra ID tenants and ensure continued access to critical identity and access management assets. This update represents the latest expansion of Veeam Data Cloud, combining cloud-native technologies and artificial intelligence acceleration to manage and secure data both on-premises and in cloud environments. Veeam states this approach is aimed at improving business continuity and operational efficiency while addressing the complexities of identity management backup. Niraj Tolia, Chief Technology Officer at Veeam, commented: "Security starts with managing your users and ensuring the right people have access to the right systems. That's why protecting Entra ID is so important, and why it's the latest addition to our Veeam Data Cloud platform. We are giving customers greater simplicity with an enterprise-ready, pre-hardened, and self-configured SaaS solution that removes the burden of managing and maintaining complex backup infrastructure." The SaaS offering is designed not only as a defence against cybercrime but also to support compliance requirements, overcome recycle bin limitations, reduce the impact of accidental deletions and address policy misconfigurations. The backup and restoration capabilities extend to Entra ID users, groups, application registrations, logs and related metadata, bringing together these functions in an all-in-one cloud-based service with unlimited storage and a consolidated user interface. Among the primary features detailed by Veeam are enhanced visibility and control over changes within Entra ID to reinforce business continuity, security and regulatory compliance; quick recovery of users, groups, attributes and other objects; and a managed backup service that includes maintenance, updates and security patches overseen by expert teams.

This enables businesses to consolidate identity management backup alongside productivity workload protection under a single subscription structure. The unified interface of the Veeam Data Cloud platform allows customers to manage all of their protected workloads together, extending platform features such as advanced security controls, role-based access, streamlined reporting, and operational simplicity to Entra ID users.
