We are excited to announce the release of Kasten K10 version 6.0, the latest and most advanced version of our industry-leading platform that provides enterprise-grade Kubernetes data protection and application mobility. This release helps customers scale their cloud native data protection efficiently. Kubernetes deployments are growing at an unprecedented rate. Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production. However, today’s market conditions are scarred with financial uncertainty and a shortage of cloud native skills. Therefore, you must ensure operational efficiencies are in place to unleash the full potential of your cloud native environments while protecting your data. Additionally, security remains an imperative as organizations focus on keeping their businesses running. With this release, we also continue to innovate in this growing ecosystem, so that you can take advantage of the best-of-breed inn...

Veeam is very excited to announce the latest and largest research report on data protection, as surveyed by an independent research firm. We say “largest” due to nearly 3,400 responses. When most research includes between 200-400 responses, Veeam sponsored 10X that in order to then cut the data and better understand not just the global market and trends, but the nuances across countries, regions, vertical industries, etc. Check out last year’s blog to understand how we cut 3,000+ responses.
This year, the research survey included three additional question topics to better understand some of the latest trends in overall IT data protection strategy: Containers, Cyber-preparedness, and BC/DR. But for this first blog, we’ll stick to what we believe to be the two most important questions:
Why will organizations change backup solutions in 2022?
The short answer is qualitative improvement — e.g., reducing data loss, reducing downtime, improving reliability of backups (so you can restore), etc. Literally, the top reason making organizations interested in changing backup solutions is so that it works better! Beyond that, businesses are concerned about economics, best-in-class tools for protecting the increasingly diverse production workloads and platforms that organizations rely on, and so on. Please check out this 4-minute video:
What are organizations looking for in their next data protection solution?
If the last topic covered where organizations are coming from, this covers where organizations are going — with an emphasis towards hybrid architectures for both protection and production. As a happy surprise, one of the up-and-coming responses (having asked this question for the last three annual surveys) was customers looking to move workloads from one cloud to another, which is only achievable with a third-party solution (like Veeam), since that isn’t a goal of the hyperscale clouds. Check out this 4-minute video to see what else organizations are looking for in Modern Data Protection:
We hope these first two topics have been helpful. This post is the first part of a multi-part series, so please stay tuned to the Veeam blog:
Part 1: What is driving change & what are organizations looking for moving forward
Part 2: What do Hybrid- and Multi-Cloud architectures look like and how does that affect your data protection strategy
Part 3: What does ‘Enterprise’ backup mean in 2022
Part 4: Why do we still have so much downtime in 2022 and what is the value of data
Part 5: What does BC/DR look like in 2022
Please reach out to Dave (@BackupDave) or I (@JBuff) to tell us how this research aligns with your organization’s data protection goals for 2022 — and don’t forget to download the full report.

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. 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. More recently, a new kid on the block has become a popular destination for backed up data, 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. A year later, we launched Veeam Backup & Replication v10 which featured support for object locking to provide data immutability for 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. Today, Veeam Backup & Replication is protecting hundreds of petab...
Before Veeam Backup & Replication v11, the product used SQL Server to create and store its configuration database. It has always been possible to use SQL Server Express to store a Veeam Backup & Replication, however, this version of SQL Server had some critical limitations. In the 2022 version of SQL Server Express, the most relevant limitations were: Use of one socket or four cores Use of only 1.4GB per instance 10GB limit for databases In an environment of 500 machines or fewer, these limitations may not have an impact, but if you have a large backup environment, you had to migrate to one of the paid SQL Server versions to avoid these limitations. You can check the limits for each version of SQL Server 2022 by clicking this link . For V12 and with scalability, performance and licensing cost in mind, Veeam introduced the possibility of using PostgreSQL as a configuration database. PostgreSQL is a relational database management system that’s been used for over 35 years...
update notice: The information in this blog post has been updated on April 1st, 2022. Since Veeam Backup & Replication version 10, it’s possible to back up NAS shares with the SMB (CIFS) and NFS protocol. One of the challenges with backing up large file shares is doing so in a consistent state. This blog post shows how to create a consistent backup of an SMB share hosted on a NetApp ONTAP based storage. NetApp storage snapshot, Microsoft VSS snapshot or Storage Integration? Veeam offers three ways to back up a NetApp ONTAP SMB share in a consistent state. With NetApp storage integration From a NetApp storage snapshot (without integration) With Microsoft remote VSS snapshot Using the storage integration is the easiest way to get the latest state with very few configuration steps. Using an alternative snapshot path allows complex scenarios like backing up from a SnapMirror/SnapVault location but it involves scripting or a schedule on NetApp to create and delete t...
