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...

Data protection for financial services and insurance (FSI) institutions continues to be a hot topic as cybersecurity and ransomware dominate news headlines. There is no doubt these threats are here to stay and are growing increasingly more malicious and sophisticated. That’s just one of the takeaways from the largest ever independent research report that is now available.
To better understand organizations’ data protection strategies and methods, Vanson Bourne, an independent research firm, ran a worldwide study of more than 3,000 IT leaders and implementers.
Of those participants, 472 identified themselves within the FSI sector, enabling Veeam to release a dedicated, industry-specific executive brief showing that while FSI organizations have much in common with other industries,, FSI institutions do have some very unique differences that will shape their data protection strategy in 2022.
The rapid adoption of financial technology (FinTech) is transforming the sector at a blistering pace, bringing with it challenges and opportunities to improve. This is likely one of the reasons the study found that over half of FSI workloads will be cloud hosted by 2024.
The study also shows that FSI respondents were right in line with the global average for meeting their organizations’ recovery times and data loss service-level expectation. The bad news… no one is meeting these expectations. Not even close. And unfortunately, when we compare this year’s numbers to previous years’, the gap between the ability to deliver and what is expected is only getting worse. Check out this 4-minute video summary of FSI data protection drivers for 2022.
On the upside for FSI industry, the percentage of their servers that suffered an unexpected outage over the last year (28%) was significantly lower than the global average (40%), and nearly half of their healthcare counterparts (52%). Fewer outages mean few disruptions, which means few mad scrambles to recover. And when compared to other industries, especially healthcare, FSI is generally ahead of the pack.
All this is great insight into the current state and future of data protection in the FSI space. And there is a lot more to be learned from the full report, and other industry-specific views of the date. Check out these recent and upcoming blog posts for additional insights and findings, and don’t forget to download the full report.
Part 9: What is driving Data Protection Strategies in Financial Services and Insurance for 2022
We would love to hear back from you. Please reach out to Jason (@JBuff) or Dave Russell (@BackupDave) or email us at StrategicResearch@veeam.com to let us know how this research aligns with your organization’s data protection goals for 2022.
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...
