Frequently Asked Questions

BackupPilot is a local-first backup infrastructure readiness platform. It provides assessment, troubleshooting, validation, and best-practice workflows for Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

No. BackupPilot is not a monitoring or alerting platform and is not a replacement for Veeam ONE. It focuses on local assessments that help identify issues before a support case is opened.

No. This is an unofficial diagnostic/readiness tool developed by Spenvest Lab. It does not replace official vendor documentation or support guidance.

No customer data is uploaded. BackupPilot executes assessments locally through its own backend runner, stores history in a local SQLite database on the same machine, and keeps reports local unless you explicitly export them.

No agent is required. You run a single PowerShell script on the target server; there is nothing to install or leave behind.

Readiness checks need real system, SQL, port, and service information from the actual server. Running locally keeps credentials on your machine, avoids collecting passwords, and means no data leaves your environment unless you choose to share the result.

The current live assessment modules are Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. BackupPilot also includes supporting tools such as the VB365 PowerShell Assistant and the Veeam Recovery Time Estimator.

You select the product, generate the local PowerShell assessment script, run it in the customer environment, and then import the JSON result back into BackupPilot for scoring, reporting, history, and export. Nothing is uploaded automatically.

BackupPilot currently supports readiness assessments for Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam ONE, and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. The framework is designed to expand to future modules such as Kasten, Rubrik, Cohesity, Commvault, Veritas, and Dell PowerProtect.
