One Year as the Only Platinum Microsoft 365 Backup Provider

Veeam, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026

Veeam marks a year as Microsoft's only Platinum Microsoft 365 Backup Storage partner, citing median restores of 2TB per hour.

Veeam says it became a Platinum Microsoft 365 Backup Storage partner about a year ago and no other vendor has matched that status.

Microsoft 365 Backup Storage runs inside the Microsoft security boundary and tenant, so its API avoids the throttling that slows other backup approaches and enables very fast bulk backup and recovery.

Veeam was one of the first vendors to build on the API and the first to bring it to Government Community Cloud.

The company credits its engineering focus and a five-year co-sell, co-plan and co-invest agreement with Microsoft, and notes many backup products still do not offer Microsoft 365 Backup Storage at all.
