Hi, our client just had a ransomware attack and unfortunately veeam server and backup files were affected. Client had to rebuild their servers and We had to reinstall Veeam and recreate backup from start again.

We are looking into introducing tape as “offline” backup so we can restore backup files from it in worst case scenarios. 

My question is, if we reinstall Veeam B&R is it easy to re-introduced the Tape Library and is it easy to scan for it and retrieve/recover the Backup Files from it to Veeam Disk Repository?

You can rescan tapes to import backups that were created by Veeam yes.  It will catalog them back in to the database since you lost everything. Here are some beat practices for tape - https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/3_Build_structures/B_Veeam_Components/tape.html

 


Thanks very much
