Protection Against Ransomware with Veeam Backup & Replication

Ransomware has become one of the most feared threats for businesses worldwide. Veeam Backup & Replication offers effective protection against these attacks through several key features:

• Immutable Backups: One of the most critical features is the ability to create “immutable backups” that cannot be altered or deleted for a certain period, making them secure against ransomware attacks attempting to encrypt or erase backups.
• Regular Backups: Veeam Backup & Replication allows for regular backups of data, meaning that if a ransomware attack occurs, the business can easily restore its data to a point before the attack happened.
• Air-Gapped Backups: Veeam Cloud Connect offers “air-gapped backups,” where backups are stored in an isolated location that is not directly accessible from the company’s network. This minimizes the risk of ransomware spreading to backups.

The Benefits of Offsite Backup for Virtual Machines

Having an offsite backup for your virtual machines is a crucial part of a comprehensive data protection strategy. Here are some of the main benefits:

• Disaster Recovery: By storing backups offsite, data is protected from local disasters like fire, flood, or theft. This ensures that businesses can restore their data and resume operations quickly, even if the main office is affected.
• Geographical Redundancy: Offsite backups mean data is stored in a geographically separate location, reducing the risk of total data loss if a disaster affects the main office. Geographical redundancy is particularly important for businesses with global operations.
• Compliance: Many industries require businesses to follow strict data protection and storage regulations. Offsite backup can help companies meet these requirements by ensuring that backups are stored securely and compliantly.

Start Virtual Machines During Site Failover

One of the most impressive features of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ability to start virtual machines in a data center during a site failover. This means that if the company’s primary data center becomes unavailable, operations can continue uninterrupted using backups from the data center.

• Fast Recovery: In a site failover, the company can quickly start up its virtual machines in the data center. This reduces downtime and ensures that business operations can continue as smoothly as possible.
• Testing Recovery Plans: Veeam Backup & Replication makes it easy to regularly test and verify recovery plans. Companies can simulate a site failover to ensure everything works as expected, providing peace of mind and preparing the business for real emergencies.
• Cost-Effectiveness: By using Veeam Cloud Connect, businesses don’t need to invest in expensive infrastructure to have a secondary site ready. Instead, they can use services from a data center, which is both cost-effective and scalable.

Summary

Veeam Backup & Replication together with Veeam Cloud Connect provides a powerful solution to protect virtual machines from ransomware and other threats. By using Veeam Cloud Connect, you can benefit from immutable, regular, and air-gapped backups. The advantages of having an offsite backup of virtual machines include disaster recovery, geographical redundancy, and compliance.
