VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
In my case I'd say 90% of my customers are currently using Windows ReFS to store backup files as their main repository, so I have some questions:Do you know if Microsoft is working to provide something equivalent to the XFS “i” flag feature in ReFS?. For 100% Microsoft shops every time you mention Linux is still something they tried to avoid as much as they can. I can envision a lot of resistance if we are talking about the main repository in this specific case In terms of performance / space saving have Veeam done any lab test to compare XFS vs ReFS? For customers that will be willing to migrate their main repository from ReFS to XFS to take advantage of this feature: any tips, best practices? It would be great if Veeam provides a Whitepaper regarding thisI think immutable backups is the top driver to adopt V11 in the short term for a lot of customers
So what happens if an insider gets into your VBR infrastructure and disables the “Make recent backups immutable for” checkbox, then waits for N days for the immutability flags to cycle out from the hardened repository… then deletes all your backups? I agree with you! I would recommend to monitor this setting by running a scheduled script. That sounds a) tricky and b) failure-prone - for example a tech changes the job name, script fails… we missed it… whoops. My concern is that people will look at a Hardened Linux Repository (as I did) as way to provide an effectively air-gapped backup when it really can’t. If immutability could be set and enforced by the repository itself and not changed from VBR then it would be a lot closer to that goal but obviously it will never be truly air-gapped. Is the script to verify that “Make recent backups immutable for” is still checked already posted somewhere?Some ideas to improve this specific scenario which I'
