Recently Veeam released Veeam Backup for AWS. A new product providing cloud-native data protection to AWS workloads, whether they are born in the cloud or migrated to the cloud. With this new release of Veeam Backup for AWS, new considerations, specifically how to build a backup environment, must be put in place. Isolated accounts leveraging built-in AWS security boundaries are needed to be implemented. As such, a “Backup DMZ” should be used to protect all the data that is being backed up. Read more

The beginning of a security mindset is to acknowledge that there is no such thing as 100 percent security in the cloud. When you operate from that understanding, then your defenses are up and your offense game is on.

Here is a summary of actions you can take to get started on a path to better data protection in Office 365. They aren’t listed in order of priority, so use them as you see fit in your awareness campaigns, budget discussions, and backup vendor conversations.

With the release of Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 in 2019, we introduced the Veeam Cloud Tier which enabled customers to take advantage of Object Storage. Due to its increasing popularity, infinite scale-out capacity and lower cost for long term retention, Object Storage offers many advantages over traditional block and file-based storage systems. We have witnessed an overwhelming adoption of Object Storage despite the fact that in Update 4, the Cloud Tier was only capable of offloading older data to help to reduce the costs of long-term archival. And now v10 brings more! Read more

Veeam ONE allows you to create notifications for each predetermined alarm or alarms that we create ourselves. In this blog post we are going to see how to send the most critical notifications that we have to different channels in Microsoft Teams or Slack, not only because we are all more attentive to these communication tools, but because it is really easy to configure certain alarms depending on their importance and type of alarm, to the most relevant teams to solve and treat the alarm.

Have you ever been in a position where you needed a quick and simple website, but didn’t know how to serve it to your users? Maybe it was a page for a small business or a promotional site for a new app your team was launching? But you needed to deploy it as reliably as possible with as little overhead as you could manage.

A little over four years ago, Veeam introduced the Scale-out Backup Repository. Since that time, we increased its capabilities most recently with the Veeam Cloud Tier. If you’re not using the Scale-out backup repository, you should be. I’ll explain why. Read more

Last week, we discussed how there is no such thing as “the cloud” — but instead, there are multiple types of cloud-based services that affect both your production and your protection strategies. Even if we just focus on Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) or Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS), or the use of cloud-based storage in complement to an on-premises backup solution, it is hugely important to not presume that those cloud-providers are equitable.
