VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
Nice, clear explanation for sysadmins and backup admins that aren’t familiar with Oracle RMAN and database backup technology. I recommend this!
From the v12 User Guide: [Azure Blob Storage] Do NOT enable immutability for already existing containers in the Azure portal. Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication will not be able to process these containers properly and it may result in data loss.
Thanks for this. I’m on my way with AWS certs (got the Cloud Practioner, equivalent to this) and now I’ll start my Azure learning journey.
This is a keeper. I have a few accounts adopting NAS backups in a big way now, and I’m sure we will come across this.
This is a great idea. Many enterprises have the expertise to do this, but many Veeam customers are just starting out in the cloud and this helps them get set up and ready for deployment.Please continue the series. You will save me a lot of work!😁
Great reminder!
I received word from the product management teams for VRO and Veeam ONE that it is safe to use these patches in VRO.
It seems that Chris is the only one so far to have issues with the upgrade. My updates came through the forums. That is the best place for further questions and to consult with any questions or concerns.
The main problem with ignoring it (because Veeam doesn’t use SOCK5) is that scanners will continue to flag the vulnerability every time they scan, and that just doesn’t sit well security teams. I’m not sure what dips means when he says to “remote” the affected binaries”. Here is the KB article released last week about this:https://www.veeam.com/kb4523
But there are two impornant notes in the KB.VDDK Library Must Remain on VMware Backup ProxiesDo not remove the VDDK libraries from VMware Backup Proxies. Removing the VDDK libraries from a VMware Backup Proxy will cause operations that attempt to use that proxy to communicate with VMware vSphere to fail with the error documented in KB2678.Veeam Transport RedeploymentIf the Veeam Transport package is reinstalled, either manually or as a result of an upgrade, the VDDK libraries will be reinstalled and will have to be removed again.
My experience with Frames is that a mismatch is not good, resulting in fragmentation and re-transmissions. Scenario 1: all frames set to standard MTU end-to-end the data path including NIC, all switch ports, and storage array, and beware that different switches have different MTUs - performance OK.Scenario 2: all frames set to Jumbo Frames end-to-end the data path including NIC, all switch ports, and storage array - performance should definitely improve for sequential IO pattern.Scenario 3: Frame mismatch - likely to be worse that Scenario 1.
This an excellent resource. It provides the depth and detail needed to address objections and pointed questions about how Backup management can enhance information security. Thank you.
Welcome, nephew!
Excellent article that outlines the roles of technology, people and process in ransomware preparedness and mitigation.
News you can use! Thanks for the update, Roy.
Nice article, @MarkPolin ! Brief, to the point, with clear objectives. Thanks!
