The challenge
Securing the Virtual Machine Backups generated by the Veeam system
The project aimed to secure the backups of the Virtual Machines generated by the Veeam system.
The strategy chosen was "Forward Incremental Backup", i.e. the approach that allows Veeam services to perform a Full Backup starting from the first day of the month and daily incremental backups for the remaining days of the month.
The overall backup strategy therefore included two levels of protection:
- Daily backup to on-premise local storage via Veeam solution
- Automated replication of daily backups on the AWS Cloud (AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive), with files offline
Goals
Prevent and detect data loss and interruption thanks to Full Backup of Virtual Machines
Proactively identify and mitigate risks, such as security threats, malware and more
Cost savings thanks to the scalability, flexibility and elasticity of Cloud services
Focusing of internal staff on more productive and core business activities thanks to the execution of operational best practices with specialized automation and the activation of Managed Backup, Monitoring and technical assistance services
