More and more companies come to understand that server virtualization is the way for modern data safety. In 2020, VMware is still the market leader and many Veeam® customers use VMware vSphere as their preferred virtualization platform. But, backup of virtual machines on vSphere is only one part of service Availability. Backup is the foundation for restores, so it is essential to have backups always available with the required speed.

The “Top 10 Best Practices for VMware Backups” white paper discusses best practices with Veeam Backup & Replication™ and VMware vSphere, such as:

• Planning your data restore in advance
• Keeping track of your data backup software updates and keeping your backup tools up-to-date
• Integrating storage based snapshots into your Availability concept
• And much more!

The best way that an organi­zation can protect itself against ransomware attacks is to implement a backup system that guarantees the recoverability of data. Read now

Malicious cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, and state and municipal governments are attractive targets for several reasons.
