There isn't a Veeam cloud solution yet (I'm sure there will probably be one eventually). But what is not to say that you couldn't have a free Veeam server in Vultr or something?
There is.

They also are introducing native Cloud Archiving target support (announced at VeeeamOn).
Also you can use Starwinds VTL to Cloud function as another option. -

Zerto corrupting data on Nutanix

My company builds and supports the API's used for replication (VADP, VAIO) as well as the product vSphere Replication (and SRM used for array and DR run book orchestration and testing).

You just want Veeam installed on a VM?

I was just curious if Veeam offered something like that. Not that I would actually deploy and use it.

This is great for long distance (over the WAN), but when local, I know of no case where you'd use this. You'd always use Starwind instead. Vastly more powerful, same price. Free.
well, unless starwind was not free when I've set up this stuff months ago. they've missed my deadline for a few weeks.
Also, does starwind work on different storages without perf. loss? e.g. ssd/sas raid 10 on main server vs. ORB10 on sata 7.2k drives on replica server (used as failover not HA).Also, yes I'm going to move the stuff offsite. But previous question, while offtopic, still holds.

They've been unofficially free for a long time and always free on two nodes, I think. Definitely was available.

But it is just Veeam on a VM... so since Veeam is just software, they've always offered this.

It would turn you into HA for one thing, so that's a big bonus. The only time you'd take a performance hit would be if you have cache misses and you need to wait for write commits. Not sure if you can disable the commit to improve the speed, but that would add some risk. But with the cache, it might be overall faster, rather than slower, depending on cache and workload.

Yeah, you had to know to ask. But they always gave out free licenses on request

you mean their own in RAM cache or HW RAID controller cache? or any other
RAMcache? -

officially they were free on 2 node SDS, not hyperconverged [1]. I looked at the site to discover they were officially free if you had a couple of spare servers for SDS. the HC solution has been freed just later.
there was a spiceworks licence but I didn't fit specs.
just discarded them due to official website info
[1] HC or something similar. anyway: HA on 2 nodes with compute + storage on both nodes.

They told SW people it was free for two nodes. I know they announced it at ML con last year too.

@JaredBusch I also didn't mind about zerto at the time because my resellers (asked a couple) offered really high prices - but don't remember the specific amount.
