Reading Time: 2 minutesMicrosoft warned customers to patch a critical TCP/IP remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that impacts all Windows systems (client and server) using IPv6 stack. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-38063 and it’s a 9.8-out-of-10 on the CVSS severity scale. Note that, on Windows systems the IPv6 is enabled by default and, in the past, Microsoft itself has not recommend disabling IPV6: ” We do not recommend that you disable IPv6 or its components, or some Windows components may not function.” (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852)

Reading Time: 2 minutesLike every hardware and software components, before apply a VMware vSphere upgrade or update you have to check all compatibility aspects. One is related to the backup software that can be critical because you may loose the capability to perform backup and/or restore. Of course this apply also to “minor” update, like vSphere 8.0U3. For Veeam Backup & Replication there is a specific Veeam KB (KB 2443) that provides information about compatibility between VMware vSphere and Veeam Backup & Replication. And finally, some weeks after ESXi 8.0.3 become GA, there is an official support for vSphere […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesBackup content can be safe during the backup, but maybe there are some security threads that are not yet been identify (like 0-day attack) or maybe the backup data are corrupoted (like guest filesystem corruption). SureBackup is the Veeam technology that allows you to test machines backups and check if you can recover data from them. You can verify any restore point of a backed-up machine. For SureBackup, Veeam Backup & Replication uses a regular image-based backup. SureBackup job can operate in two different recovery verification modes:

Reading Time: 7 minutesA meno che venerdì scorso non eravate in vacanza in modalità completamente off-line (beati voi), di sicuro saprete del venerdì nero (informaticamente parlando) che ha letteralmente paralizzato molti servizi informatici in tutto il mondo (ad esempio il settore trasporto, con voli cancellati o in ritardo di molte ore). Il problema, secondo stime di Microsoft, ha interessato 8,5 milioni di computer basati su Windows. Ma Microsoft non centra, se non indirettamente (perchè solo i sistemi Windows sono stati colpiti). Il blocco informatico non è dovuto ad un attacco, ma è bensì stato causato da un problema […]

Reading Time: 9 minutesVeeam Backup & Replication 12 supports different malware detection methods that works in different way and can be used together to reach different scopes. Note: new features have been added in version 12.3! 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. For this reason also the load of those malware detection activities can be on different Veeam components, basically on the proxy servers for inline methods and the mount servers for the post-processing methods.

Reading Time: 3 minutesVeeam Backup Catalog is a feature of Veeam Backup & Replication that stands for VM guest OS file indexing. Veeam Guest Catalog service on backup server works as a local catalog service. It collects index data for backup jobs on this specific backup server and stores this data locally in the Veeam Backup Catalog folder. By default, the indexing data is stored in the VBRCatalog folder on the backup server. Veeam Backup & Replication creates the folder on a volume with the maximum amount of free space, for example, C:\VBRCatalog.
