OVHcloud today announced Backup Agent, a new managed backup solution, available for every Bare Metal customer in partnership with Veeam, the global leader in data resiliency.
In its July 2025 Market Guide for Disaster Recovery as a Service, Gartner® estimates that ‘a significant portion (70%) of organizations are poorly positioned in terms of disaster recovery (DR) capabilities, with 66% likely suffering from “mirages of overconfidence.”’.
In a digital world where data is key and risks abound, OVHcloud Backup Agent provides resiliency for customers whose backup solution is too complex or expensive, or simply not currently in place.
Backup Agent: easy-to-use encrypted and immutable backups
OVHcloud Backup Agent includes a free licence based on Veeam technology for the backup agent. Harnessing Veeam’s recognized expertise in data protection, Backup Agent offers the best level of data protection. In line with our Trusted Cloud commitment, data is managed only by OVHcloud.
Accessible from the OVHcloud control panel or the OVHcloud API, Backup Agent can be set up in 10 minutes or less. Data is stored in a geographically distant site from the physical Bare Metal server. For an enhanced level of security, backups are encrypted and immutable and use OVHcloud’s Object Storage solution with a 99,9% SLA on 1-AZ.
Use cases for OVHcloud Backup Agent include restoring files or systems that were mistakenly deleted or recovery of data from ransomware or malware attacks. New features will roll-out in months to come, including agentic consumption through MCP (Model Context Protocol) facilitating access to invoicing and usage data for AI agents.
Up to 6x cheaper than the competition, all with data protection
OVHcloud’s new Backup Agent benefits from compelling pricing, with no egress fees or data retrieval fees. The monthly pricing is similar to our Object Storage Standard 1-AZ offer at 0,007 Euros excl. VAT per Gigabyte with zero licensing costs attached to the software agent. On average, and compared to the competition, OVHcloud Backup Agent is up to 6x times cheaper.
OVHcloud Backup Agent is built on OVHcloud’s proven infrastructure expertise, delivered from energy-efficient data centers. Data security and protection are backed by internationally recognized standards, including ISO27001 certification, and by a strong European approach to data sovereignty, helping customers maintain control over where their data is stored and how it is accessed.
Zero-cost Backup Agent for Bare Metal
OVHcloud Backup Agent is available now in all OVHcloud data centers across Europe for Bare Metal Customers.
OVHcloud Backup Agent is expected to roll out to customers in APAC and Canada during the first quarter of this year.
