This gives the advantage of having a greater ‘trust’ than having its data somewhere in the public cloud. In most cases the service provider has implemented the VCC environment on-premises or in a datacenter in the same region. In case of such a disaster, the service provider is able to copy those backup files to external media or public shared storage to put it available for the customer to restore the necessary data.

This has no impact on the customer, only at the service provider because of using synthetic full backups. This folder is not visible or accessible for the tenant (or in this case the hacker), but only for the service provider.īe aware that scheduled GFS backup(s) are needed. If the service provider has enabled the feature Insider Protection for the tenant, than the deleted backups at VCC will first being put at a seperate folder (‘ recycle bin‘) where it stays for a number of days set by the SP. This is by design.īut Veeam has created a solution for that! If a hacker hacks your IT-infrastructure and can get administrator permissions on your backup-server, than this hacker can of course delete all the backups… even the backups available at the service provider using the VBR-console or Powershell commands. A solution is again a copy to VCC, it’s using an SSL-connection to the service provider, therefore an extra protection to your backups. Ransomware is especially infecting local drives and shares. Therefore it’s very important to protect your backups as much as possible. More and more ransomware first encrypts your backups and then it encrypts your data. Ransomware encrypts your important and valuable data. When using a small bandwidth in comparison with the volume of data, a WAN Accelerator is a possible option to use. This without affecting the data reduction ratios of built-in compression. In that case syncing a backup copy to a Veeam Service Provider is a perfect option having an offsite backup copy available.īe assured that all data is encrypted at the source (before it leaves the network of the customer), in transit and in storage at the service provider. Not all customers have the luxury having multiple sites with IT infrastructure available. You all are familiar with the 3-2-1-1-0 golden rule (see my post at 3-2-1-1-0 Golden Backup Rule | Veeam Community Resource Hub), there should always be a backup copy available at an offsite location.
