In my previous blog, I discussed the Veeam Hardened Repository, why we need it, its uses, and its limitations. Today, I want to discuss this subject in more detail while providing links to build instructions with commentary. There are numerous ways to build a Veeam Hardened Repository, and one must choose carefully which method to use, as any errors or miscalculations will be very difficult to solve further down the road. 

Veeam has just released Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1.2, which brings a host of new features, security updates, and performance enhancements. Explore the significant changes and improvements to stay updated, enhance data security, and optimize your backup processes. 

VeeamON 2024 is behind us, and as always, it is time to reflect on the event and review some of the highlights.

Welcome back to the Object First Aces Blog for April. It’s an exciting time for us, as we are now one month into the Object First Aces program! If you missed our previous announcement and blog about the Object First Aces, be sure to give it a read.

Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR) is an option for secure, immutable backup storage and is a popular choice among Veeam enterprise customers. However, IT security and Linux expertise are required to deploy and manage VHR properly over time, and as such, it is not a suitable option for environments lacking in-house IT security skills. This blog post series is intended to provide an overview of the pros and cons as well as technical and operational considerations while choosing VHR for your environment.

The Object First Aces is a new initiative to build a community of highly skilled and motivated Veeam Backup and Replication software users. The Aces will be chosen based on their accomplishments, Veeam product knowledge, and their responses to the questions on the application email.
