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 proud to release the findings of yet another research project, the 2023 Data Protection Trends Report, which is the industry’s largest independent research on backup and data protection. This research is fully independent, representing the whole market — not only from Veeam customers — and conducted by a third-party research organization.
Globally, data protection budgets are increasing by 6.5% overall, a faster rate than leading industry analyst firms project general IT budgets to rise. Of organizations looking to increase their spending on data protection, 85% of them will increase their budgets by 8.3%.
Why are data protection budgets increasing? Major reasons include:
Cybersecurity concerns and an appreciation of the role that backup and business continuity play in ransomware scenarios.
In the last three years since the pandemic began, organizations have experienced sudden remote workforces and a significant increase in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS deployments, necessitating the need to modernize backup because the production environment has changed.
What is modern, as it pertains to data protection, and what are the defining aspects of a modern backup solution? Below is a list of attributes, with the results sorted by the most important modern capabilities.
What is interesting is, there is no universal view. We see that many organizations have unique needs and requirements for their data protection.
From the data, we conclude that Modern Data Protection distills down to three major themes and capabilities:
Part of your cyber-security strategy
Backup is a key component of a cyber and ransomware response strategy.
Backup is not an island; it must be a good citizen in the data center, which leads to the next defining capability.
Integrate with BC/DR and management
Backup also plays a vital role in Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) programs and other IT and systems management functions.
While cyber is understandably at the top of the list of concerns, IT still must protect against all the historical configuration and component outages and challenges of the past, as well as a multitude of natural disasters.
Diverse cloud capabilities
The cloud is leveraged in many ways in production, but also in data protection. So much so that 45% of the most important modern feature is cloud related.
Cloud capabilities include:
The ability to move from one cloud to another
Standardizing on a single backup solution for on-prem as well as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS workloads.
Ability to repatriate data from a cloud back to the data center.
We would like to connect with you on our LinkedIn Live sessions where we will discuss this and other important results from this research.

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...
