Public Cloud - Protecting workloads with Veeam Backup for Google Cloud

posted in Public Cloud

Performing Backup for Google CloudVeeam Backup for Google Cloud leverages native Google Cloud capabilities and does not require the installation of agent software to retrieve data to perform the backup operation.Learn more about the different ways to protect workloads in Google Cloud: Create cloud-native snapshots of VM instancesA cloud-native snapshot includes point-in-time snapshots of persistent disks attached to the processed VM instance. Snapshots of persistent disks (also referred to as PD snapshots) are taken using native Google Cloud capabilities. By default, cloud-native snapshots are stored in the multi-regional location closest to the region in which the original instance resides. Still, the area can be changed in the backup policy settings. Create image-level backups of VM instancesIn addition to cloud-native snapshots, you can protect your VM instances with image-level backups. An image-level backup captures the whole image of the processed VM instance (including OS data,

Disaster Recovery - Disaster Recovery Overview

Disaster recovery (DR) is a comprehensive approach, leveraging IT technologies and best practices, that aims to mitigate the impact of catastrophic events on businesses by safeguarding data and ensuring operational continuity.A strong disaster recovery plan is crucial for ensuring business continuity, enhancing system security, improving customer retention, and ultimately reducing recovery costs.A disaster recovery plan is usually comprised of the following:Data Backup. Regular data backups are crucial for ensuring data recovery in case of data loss, and following the 3-2-1-1-0 rule can help guarantee that backups are effective and easily accessible. Failover Procedures. In the event of a disruption, we will switch to backup systems in order to maintain operations. Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). The target time set for the recovery of IT and business activities after a disaster Disaster

Disaster Recovery - Continuous Data Protection

What is Continuous Data Protection?Continuous data protection (CDP) is a technology that provides data protection for mission-critical VMware virtual machines, ensuring that data loss is minimized even for short periods of time, making it an ideal solution when even seconds or minutes of downtime are unacceptable. By maintaining replicas in a ready-to-start state, CDP guarantees minimal recovery time objectives (RTO) in the event of a disaster.CDP is responsible for generating replicas of data and then ensures these replicas are continuously updated to reflect the latest changes in the original data.CDP (Continuous Data Protection) is designed to continuously replicate all input/output operations performed on virtual machines. CDP leverages vSphere APIs for I/O filtering (VAIO) to handle and analyze I/O operations moving between secure virtual machines and their corresponding data storage, enabling the bypass of snapshot creation. CDP, being perpetually active and avoiding snapshot cre

Disaster Recovery - Replication

What is Replication?Replication is a technology that safeguards mission-critical VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, provides a layer of security and redundancy. Veeam Backup & Replication's VM replication process involves creating an exact copy of the virtual machine in its native VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V format, which is then placed on the target host. Veeam Backup & Replication ensures that the copy of the source VM is consistently updated and synchronized. Because VM replicas are in a ready-to-start state, replication ensures the minimum possible recovery time objective (RTO) in the event of a disaster. How does Replication Work?VMwareVeeam Backup & Replication utilizes the snapshot capabilities of VMware vSphere to replicate virtual machines. As part of the replication process, Veeam Backup & Replication communicates with VMware vSphere to initiate the creation of a virtual machine snapshot. A VM snapshot, in essence, is a copy of a virtual machine capt

Security Functions & Features - Malware Detection Methods

The malware detection methods in this module are complementary to one another, offering defense-in-depth through diverse techniques that identify and alert on malware both before and after a potential recovery scenario. Guest Indexing Data ScanGuest Indexing Data Scan is a feature in Veeam Backup & Replication that enhances malware detection by analyzing file system activity during backup jobs.Here's how it works: Step 1 Backup Job Completion When a backup job with guest file system indexing enabled is completed, the indexing data is saved in the VBRCatalog folder on the backup server. Step 2 Notification The Veeam Guest Catalog Service notifies the Veeam Data Analyzer Service about new data that needs to be scanned. Step 3 Data Analysis The Veeam Data Analyzer Service checks the last scan results and initiates a new guest indexing data scan if necessary. Step 4 Malware Detection The scan detects known suspicious files and extensions, renamed or deleted files, and other malwa

Security Functions & Features - SIEM Integration

What are SIEM solutions and what does the Veeam integration allow you to do?Veeam has integration with various Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions to enhance cybersecurity and threat intelligence capabilities. The SIEM integration provided by Veeam allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of Veeam Backup & Replication logs and events within the SIEM platform. It enables organizations to consolidate Veeam logs with other security logs, automate threat detection and response, and gain better visibility into their backup and recovery environment. Some SIEM solutions supported by Veeam include Splunk, Elasticsearch, IBM QRadar, and ArcSight. How does integrating with a SIEM tool enhance your cybersecurity and threat management?Integrating with a SIEM tool provides several capabilities that enhance cybersecurity and threat management: Centralized Log Management: SIEM integration allows for centralized collection and analysis of logs from various sources, inclu

Security Functions & Features - Configuration Backup

Ensuring that, in the event of an incident, you can restore the configuration of your backup server is of paramount importance. Backing up your configuration of your backup server is important as it creates a safety net in case your system crashes or experiences problems. You can then easily restore these settings and get back to work quickly. Do not back up the backup server configuration using backup jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a configuration backup daily. You can change the schedule or create a configuration backup manually. You can choose the backup repository in which the configuration backup must be stored, specify the necessary retention settings. Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to create immutable configuration backups. Continue to Lesson 7: SIEM IntegrationReturn to Course Outline

Security Functions & Features - Secure Restore

What is Secure Restore?Secure Restore is a feature in Veeam Backup & Replication designed to protect your environment from malware during the recovery process. It allows you to scan restore points for malware before restoring them to the production environment. This can be achieved using several options: your own antivirus software, Veeam's embedded antivirus Threat Hunter, and YARA rule-based scanning. By leveraging these tools, Secure Restore ensures that only clean data is restored, enhancing the security of your backups and minimizing the risk of reintroducing malware into your systems. This proactive approach strengthens your overall data protection strategy and helps maintain the integrity and safety of your IT environment. Why is Secure Restore Important? Enhanced Security: It scans restore points with antivirus software and YARA rules before restoration, ensuring that backups are free from malware and other threats. This reduces the risk of reinfecting your production envir
