By Christopher GLEMOT in Backup, Data Protection, Object Storage, Veeam B&R 12

In the upcoming Veeam Availability Suite v12 release, Veeam announced some new features. Move Backup is probably one of the most important features upcoming in Veeam B&R v12 is the VM Move or Copy feature. Veeam has designed a new VeeaMover technology around Block Cloning with ReFS (Windows) and XFS (Linux). Customers who deploy Repositories that use some form of Block Cloning can now move their backup data around without worrying about losing space savings with Block Cloning (rehydrating). You can move a Backup Job from one Repository to another and the Block Cloning is maintained! You can also move individual VMs from one Backup Job to another without losing previous Backup chain dat. Here’s an overview of VeeaMover in v12.

Cyber groups (Ransom Cartels), specifically target backup solutions in order to ensure that the victim has no other option except for paying the ransom. Conti group (works like a Ransom Cartel) is particularly methodical in developing and implementing backup removal techniques (on-premise and cloud). The full analysis is available here and is based on their actual proactive victim breach intelligence and subsequent incident response (not a simulated or sandbox environment). Defense-in-depth strategy is the solution and concerns your backup environment… Backups are now target number 1. Discover in this blog post the defense approach against ransomware with Veeam B&R version 12 (Ransomware & Cybersecurity with Veeam v12).

Why backup directly to Object Storage?

By Christopher GLEMOT in Backup, Cloud, Data Protection, Object Storage, Ransomware

Hello, I do expect the on-prem object storage adoption to go through the roof with backup solutions support for backing up directly to object storage. The ratio between the on-prem and cloud looks to be about 50/50. Thanks to S3 endpoint names often carrying a hint on the object storage device behind it, it is clear that Dell EMC ECS remains the king of large-scale on-prem object storage deployments. Data showed that object storage was almost exclusively used by enterprise customers, these days there is also a long tail of smaller deployments on vendors like Wasabi (Cloud Hot Storage).
