30 Gennaio 2025
No comments

Reading Time: 4 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 (DISA) for Rocky Linux. […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter only few months from Linux Kernel 6.12, Linus Torvalds announced today the release and general availability of Linux kernel 6.13, the latest stable version of the Linux kernel (available on kernel.org) that introduces several new features and improvements.  It’s mostly some final driver fixes (gpu and networking dominating –normal), with some doc updates too.

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 […]

No comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesWith Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3, the malware detection methods have been improved compared with 12.1 version. The different malware detection methods are similar, they work in different way and can be used together to reach different scopes, but now there are more options. As previous, the first main diffecence is that some works inline (during the backup process on the source data) and other works with a post-processing directly on restore points saved on the repositories. They provide different type of results.
