Veeam Ready options for Technology Alliance PartnersĪ crucial component to the success of our object storage capabilities are our Technology Alliance Partners. Today, Veeam Backup & Replication is protecting hundreds of petabytes of customer data using object storage. Immutability provides protection from ransomware attacks by locking the objects which prevents them from being modified or deleted by malicious software or humans. A year later, we launched Veeam Backup & Replication v10 which featured support for object locking to provide data immutability for object storage. Veeam started to use object storage as a target when we released Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 in January 2019 by introducing our use of AWS S3 compliant object storage via the Capacity Tier. More recently, a new kid on the block has become a popular destination for backed up data, object storage. I won’t date myself by mentioning reel-to-reel tapes, but the journey started with tape and then backing up data to block/file-based disk storage came along. If you’re new to the S3 Compatible API, please see our Getting Started Guide.For those of us who have been in the business of backing up data for a while, we’re used to making copies of data on different types of media. The S3 Compatible API for Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage allows 1000’s of integrations to work with B2 natively.

This is also required for buckets that have versioning enabled, and all Backblaze B2 buckets have versioning.īackblaze B2 storage can now be used to extend your backup repositories to the cloud. This ensures protection of backup copies against accidental data deletions, malware activity. Note: Select to enable the checkbox for " Make backup copies immutable for the entire duration of their retention policy". Select your desired bucket from the drop-down list, and then create a folder inside the bucket for your repository. Click OK to add the credentials, and then OK to return to the previous screen.
