For UK enterprises and MSPs, leveraging Veeam for data protection is a critical first step, but choosing the right storage target is what determines success. Many cloud options introduce unpredictable costs, with 55% of IT leaders reporting that egress fees delay projects. Furthermore, storing backup data with non-EU providers creates significant compliance risks under GDPR and the upcoming NIS-2 directive. This article outlines how to build a resilient, compliant, and cost-effective backup strategy using Impossible Cloud—an S3-compatible object storage solution engineered in Europe for total data sovereignty and zero hidden fees.
Secure Digital Sovereignty for Veeam Backups
Under GDPR, the personal data of EU residents requires stringent protection, making data residency a critical compliance factor. Storing Veeam backups with non-EU providers can expose your data to foreign laws, creating unacceptable ambiguity for over 90% of businesses prioritizing compliance. Impossible Cloud operates exclusively in certified European data centers, ensuring your data is governed solely by EU law. This sovereign-by-design approach eliminates CLOUD Act exposure entirely.
Our platform offers country-level geofencing, allowing you to restrict data storage to specific EU nations with 100% certainty. For sectors like financial services, this guarantees that sensitive data adheres to strict national governance structures. This precision provides the legal certainty needed to protect your most critical assets. Explore our S3-compatible storage to see how it works.
