Are you ready for Veeam Backup & Replication 13?

17 January 2025
No comments

Reading Time: 6 minutesVeeam Backup & Replication 13, the next next major release, will be probably available in H2 2025 and most of the new features are already published and commented. But you should be prepared, because, like each new major release (and sometimes also minor release), it will drop support for older platform and software versions and will also deprecase some old features and accelerate vacating discontinued features. The reason, as Gostev commented in this post, is to don’t spread QA resources too thin as new OS versions come out. In addition, this simplifies the implementation of new […]

Reading Time: 8 minutesThe Veeam Managed Hardened Repository is a bootable ISO based on Rocky Linux 9.2 (Blue Onyx) distribution preconfigured by Veeam. The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience and improve the security of the hardened repository, with a solutionpre-hardened out of the box with all advanced security settings already applied. This because immutability may be not enough if you configure your repository in a wrong way!

Reading Time: 5 minutesThe Veeam Hardened Repository ISO (VHRISO) is a Managed Hardened Repository delivered as bootable ISO with a Rocky Linux distribution preconfigured by Veeam. The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience while eliminating (or at least reducing) the need for any Linux expertise. But also have an OS pre-hardened out of the box with all advanced security settings already applied. This because immutability may be not enough if you configure your repository in a wrong way! Recommendations are based on Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) created and maintained by the Defense Information Systems Agency […]

How fast is Veeam Threat Hunter?

3 January 2025
No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam Threat Hunter is a new feature introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3  that provides the speed of YARA scans and the breadth of malware detection of a classic antivirus. Note: this function is able to scan backups only for VMs with Windows guest OS and without any file or volume encryption at guest level (like Bitlocker). But how fast it is? In the Veeam Community somebody declares 3x-6x faster in testing depending on the contents being scanned when testing against Windows Defender.

Reading Time: 3 minutesMany customers are using backup tools to identify potential dormant threats in their environment and Veeam Backup & Replication adds a lot of malware detection methods starting with v 12. Whether through periodic manual spot-checks, continuous scheduled backup scans (for example with SureBackup), or alert-driven scans, risks can be uncovered without adding overhead to production environments while allowing for a fast response from security teams. However, one of the challenges with searching for threats is knowing what to look for.
