BRaaS by CyberFortress: Simple, Proven Recovery From Your Veeam Backups

braas

New at CyberFortress: Backup Recovery as a Service, or BRaaS, is our latest offering that turns your existing Veeam backups into a ready path back to normal operations. When something goes wrong, your team needs a recovery plan that works the same way every time. BRaaS is designed for IT leaders who want reliable outcomes, clear testing, and no surprise bills for idle recovery hardware.

What BRaaS Is

BRaaS is a cloud recovery platform that uses your off site Veeam backups to build a clean recovery environment on demand. You keep using the backup technology you already trust. When you run a test or a real event, BRaaS provisions recovery resources in minutes and follows your playbook to bring systems and applications online. When the event ends, those resources are shut down so you do not pay for unused capacity.

Why IT Managers and Directors Choose BRaaS

  • Confidence you can prove
    Automated recovery tests and monthly reports show that backups boot, apps start, and access works. You get evidence for auditors, leadership, and cyber insurers.
  • Cost control built in
    You pay a predictable software subscription. Recovery infrastructure is billed only during a test or an actual event. There is no need to maintain a secondary site.
  • Faster time to service
    One click starts a guided recovery that follows your sequence and priorities. Your team can focus on business access and validation instead of wrestling with ad hoc tasks.
  • Operational simplicity
    A single portal handles plans, network access, and test scheduling. You can run it yourself or have CyberFortress experts manage it for you.

How BRaaS Works

  1. Connect your backups
    Point BRaaS to your off site Veeam backups in supported object storage or a Veeam Cloud Connect repository.
  2. Define the recovery plan
    Select workloads, set boot order, map networks, and configure access. End users can connect with OpenVPN. Branch locations can use optional site to site IPsec.
  3. Run a test or fail over
    Start a recovery with one click. BRaaS deploys Bare Metal Cloud resources on demand and restores your selected workloads into that clean environment.
  4. Operate, then fail back
    Run from the recovery site until production is ready. When it is safe, fail back to your primary systems. Our team can assist or fully manage this step on eligible tiers.

What “Good” Looks Like for IT Leaders

  • Verified recoverability
    Scheduled tests complete without drama. Reports show which systems started, which checks passed, and how long it took. You walk into audits with documentation in hand.
  • Predictable RTO planning
    Recovery steps are scripted in the platform. Over time, test data helps you forecast staffing, maintenance windows, and network changes with more accuracy.
  • Lower risk during high pressure moments
    A guided, repeatable process removes guesswork. The team follows the same steps in testing and in real events, which reduces errors and shortens the learning curve for new team members.
  • Aligned to insurance and compliance
    Regular evidence of testing and controls supports cyber insurance renewals and frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Self-Managed or Fully Managed

Choose the operating model that fits your team.

  • Self Managed
    Keep control of your Veeam environment. Use the BRaaS portal for planning, testing, and on demand recovery. Ideal for teams with existing processes that want a faster, cleaner path to a recovery site.
  • Fully Managed
    Let CyberFortress run the platform for you. We handle scheduled tests, provide 24×7 recovery assistance, and manage failback to production on eligible tiers. Ideal for lean teams that want enterprise grade outcomes without adding headcount.
