What VenSearch Is Saying
Veeam Data Platform 13.1 adds six hypervisors and a cloud archive tier for backups
On July 29, 2026, at VeeamON Sydney, Veeam released Veeam Data Platform v13.1 and launched Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive. Version 13.1 adds support for six more hypervisors, including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, XCP-ng, Citrix XenServer and Sangfor aSV, bringing its total to 14. It also adds Active Directory Forest Recovery, malware scanning for NAS and protection for Epic EHR and Oracle. The new Vault Archive is an immutable, encrypted, logically air-gapped cloud tier for long-term backup retention, which Veeam positions as a managed alternative to tape. Pricing was not disclosed. The hypervisor support matters for businesses considering a move away from VMware, because backup compatibility is often a blocker. The archive tier addresses the cost of keeping years of backups for compliance. Veeam's own research claims backup repositories were targeted in 96% of ransomware attacks, which is why immutable, isolated copies matter. If you use Veeam directly or through an MSP, ask whether you are on version 13 or later and when an upgrade to 13.1 is planned. If you are evaluating a new hypervisor, confirm your backup tool supports it before committing. For long-term retention, ask for a cost comparison between your current storage and an archive tier, and confirm restore times, since archived data is typically slower to recover. Veeam's report also found that 90% of organizations are confident they can recover from a cyber incident, yet fewer than one in three ransomware victims recovered all their data. Testing is what closes that gap.
Gartner's 2026 backup Magic Quadrant: Veeam, Rubrik, Commvault, Cohesity lead
Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms, published in late June, places Cohesity, Commvault, Rubrik and Veeam close together in the Leaders quadrant, with Veeam slightly ahead, according to Blocks & Files on July 3. Gartner evaluated 11 suppliers. Druva was the fifth best-placed vendor, Dell sat near the Challengers boundary, and Kaseya's Unitrends was dropped from the report. Veeam said it was named a Leader for the tenth consecutive time. For buyers, the bigger signal is in Gartner's planning assumptions. It predicts that by 2029 to 2030, 70% of organizations will prioritize the ability to recover identity systems, up from under 15% in 2026, and that 70% of enterprises will shift cloud backup responsibility from cloud operations to IT operations. Recovering servers is not enough if you cannot recover the directory that lets people sign in. When reviewing your backup service, ask your provider whether Microsoft Entra ID or Active Directory is backed up and how quickly it can be restored, not just files and servers. Ask who owns backup of your cloud workloads and SaaS apps, and whether that is written into a contract. If you use Unitrends, a market change like this is a reasonable prompt to ask your provider about the product's roadmap. A vendor's position on a chart does not tell you how well it fits your environment. Recovery testing, support quality and total cost for your data volume should drive the final decision.
