Veeam alternative? It depends on what you need to protect
People looking for a Veeam alternative are almost always after one of two things: protecting servers and applications without the complexity of a huge platform, or a cheap way to keep what's already in a bucket. Nublify has a solution for each: NubliSafety and NubliVault.
Veeam: complete, and therefore complex
Veeam is one of the most widely used backup platforms in the world, and it got there by covering almost everything. The price of that breadth is complexity: backup servers, proxies and repositories to size, editions and licensing models to understand and, often, someone dedicated just to keeping backup running. In very large environments, that pays off. For most companies, it's more platform than the problem calls for.
NubliSafety: VMs, servers and SaaS protected, without the complexity
NubliSafety is Nublify's backup solution for teams that want to protect virtual machines, servers and applications without turning it into an infrastructure project. You install the agent, point it at the destination cloud and configure everything in a simple console — with Nublify's team, a multi-cloud MSP, on hand to design the project with you.
- Virtual machines and Windows, Linux and macOS servers, with a VMware agent.
- Microsoft SQL Server, Office 365 and Google Workspace.
- Public clouds, on-premises and hybrid environments.
- Restore a whole virtual machine, images, folders or a single file.
- Native encryption and per-server licensing, with the project cost clear from the start.
Where NubliVault does better
NubliVault was built for one specific problem: cloud buckets with millions of small files, where the cost comes from operations rather than volume. It reads the buckets you already have, packs the files with Nublify's own engine and keeps a second immutable copy in a long-term vault on AWS.
- Up to 99.98% fewer billed write operations, because millions of files become a few packages.
- Up to 99% lower cost than keeping the copy the traditional way.
- Multi-cloud source: OCI, AWS, GCP and Azure. Destination on AWS, in your account.
- Single-file recovery through the index, without downloading the whole package.
- Per-customer isolation enforced by the database — built for MSPs and providers.
You can use both
It's not either/or. NubliVault doesn't replace your current backup: it protects what's already in a bucket with a second copy, outside the source cloud and with a retention lock. If you already run a full platform, keep it as it is and add the cheap archiving layer where it makes a difference.
How to decide in a minute
Three questions settle most cases:
- Do you need to protect VMs, servers, SQL Server, Office 365 or Google Workspace? A full backup platform — like Veeam or Nublify's NubliSafety.
- Is your data already in buckets, and is it millions of files? NubliVault.
- Do you need both? NubliSafety for the workloads, NubliVault to keep the long-term copy cheaply — both from Nublify, one vendor.

FAQ
- Does NubliVault replace Veeam?
- That's not the goal. NubliVault archives cloud buckets with millions of files, cheaply and immutably. To protect VMs, servers and applications, a full backup platform is still the way to go.
- Can I use both together?
- Yes. NubliVault reads existing buckets and keeps a second copy on AWS, with no migration and without touching your current backup.
- Does Nublify have something for VMs, SQL Server and Office 365?
- Yes: NubliSafety, Nublify's own backup solution for virtual machines, servers, Microsoft SQL Server, Office 365 and Google Workspace, in public cloud, on-premises or hybrid.
- How much does NubliVault cost?
- US$ 2 per TB stored per month, plus US$ 8 per TB moved. The trial is free for 14 days, up to 1 TB, no credit card.
