Truly no lock-in: the freedom of choice with Veeam

I apologize for my absence from the community over the past few days!Before the post, I would like to make up for it with the sound of some of the coolest Grandpas in the world 😎 One of the aspects that Veeam has been reinforcing is the need for customers to implement and maintain cybersecurity policies using established frameworks in the market, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. As an example, we have this excellent post by Ray Heffer:https://www-veeam-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.veeam.com/blog/nist-cybersecurity-framework-2-0.html?amp=1Implementing technology solutions in line with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 can be a challenge. However, with Veeam, this process is made easier. Some time ago, I prepared an association between the functionalities present in each of the elements of the Veeam Data Platform with the functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, demonstrating the ease of implementation.NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and how Veeam can help y

Upgrade Veeam v11 to v12 on a Huawei Server

HelloWe have a physical Huawei server (5288 v5) with Windows 2019 and Veeam installed. Since the announcement that the Veeam plugin is no longer supported, we have uninstalled the plugin and removed the storage in the Veeam admin center. Now we want to update to version 12, but there is an error message in the configuration checks. This is “unsupported Huawei Storage system”. We're supposed to remove something first, but I don't know what it should be. We have already tried to virtualize the server to another one, but the error persists. Does anyone perhaps know the cause?Many thanks and kind regardsThomas

Azure Immutable Object Storage deletion is not progressing

Demystifying Veeam’s Backup Copy Feature – Part III, Long-Term (GFS) Retention

If you missed the first part of this 3-part series, you can read it here. For the 2nd part, go here. This 3rd and final part in the Blog series will be a bit lengthier than the previous 2, but the extra content is worth the read. In this 3rd post, I’ll be discussing the Backup Copy Job Long-Term (or GFS) Retention Policy. For the remainder of this post, I’ll just refer to this as ‘GFS Policy’. Over the years, I’ve generally felt Veeam’s User Guides have been fantastic. The best out there, in my opinion, are the VMware User Guides, with Veeam a close 2nd. Since about Veeam v9, when Veeam really started gaining steam implementing some of their best features to date – Storage Integration, expanding their Veeam Agent offering, etc, their User Guides have seemed to start lacking some needed information. I think part of the reason is they were jamming everything into one Guide and possibly cutting some corners. They really needed to start separating some features out of the main User Guide t

Deep dive Inline Malware Detection

First of all : Wishing you a happy new year with the hope that you will have many blessings in the year to come. 1. ObjectiveThe objective of this deep dive is to detail the steps to follow to activate the Inline Malwares Detection feature.2. Introduction2.1 Description of Inline Malwares DetectionVeeam Backup & Replication 12.1 introduces a new security feature called “Encryption Detection”. It is an online entropy analysis that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to detect previously unencrypted data that becomes encrypted in processed disk images.This allows for the detection of a potential ransomware attack. “Inline Entropy” analyzes data on the fly during backups.Veeam is not intended to replace detection tools (EDR/XDR, Antivirus) that must be installed and configured on production environments, but rather complements them to facilitate forensic analysis and determine healthy backup points.Detecting data encryption as quickly as possible is a key element

invalid credentials or connection settings

HelloI have 4 VM on 4 different physical servers with Veeam Backup&Replication community edition v12.1.56.In my system, I have a VM under debian 12 which is used as Postfix SMTP relay for all my servers. Internally, everything goes through port 25 and all my servers send mail to this relay without identification or password. The relay then sends everything to my dedicated office365 mailbox.In less than 1 day, 2 of my Veeam VMs stopped sending me mail.So every time I run the test mail, I get the message: Unable to connect to SMTP server because of invalid credentials or connection settings.I've compared the smtp configuration with that of the 2 servers that are still working, apparently I haven't seen any anomalies and everything is identical. Even firewall configurations are perfectly identical between servers:SMTP Server (Basic authentication)SMTP server: IP of my SMTP serverFrom: mail address of my server adminTo: my mail addressport 25timeout 100000The only difference is that th

"Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition"

Hello,I am encountering a warning on my Veeam backups that Veeam "Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition". The backups are otherwise successful.I am running Manjaro Linux, which I realize is not formally supported. I used Veeam successfully some time ago without issues, experimented with other backup solutions for a while, then came back to Veeam because honestly nothing works as well or as simply as it does. The last time I used Veeam, I was running a 5.x version, and I’ve since started using 6.1.0.1498.Here is some more detailed information about my issue:Specific Problem: When performing a Full System backup, Veeam will complain that it "Cannot find EFI boot manager entry for EFI System Partition GUID” followed by the GUID of my system’s EFI partition.

Webinar+Demo: Integrating Veeam with Organizations' Cybersecurity Strategy

 Hi! On April 9, the webinar “Integrating Veeam with Organizations' Cybersecurity Strategy” was held, with the participation of Marcio de Freitas, Engineering Manager at Veeam Brazil.We conducted a Penetration Test demonstration using Kali Linux, reproducing Command and Control (C&C) actions and triggering a Ransomware attack simulation on a specific target. Then, we demonstrate how the Veeam Data Platform works in Threat Detection and Response (D&R) integrated with other cybersecurity solutions, such as anti-virus, EDR, MDR, and SIEM.Marcio also presented how Veeam is focusing on cybersecurity in the latest releases. We also explored the main frameworks available for organizations to implement and maintain a consistent security policy: NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture, NIST SP 800-61r2 Incident Response Plan, MITER ATT&CK, and MITER CVE.PS:The webinar was held in Portuguese.
