The art of designing a safety net.

We are using Veeam to ensure business continuety. With the speed at wich Veeam execute backups, you can ensure all servers are backed up everyday. Veeam immutability also ensures that all backups are protected against ransomeware attacks. Veeam dedup and compression safes on expensive storage allowing for backus to be kept for longer,

60 workloads are currently being protected. At firtst Veeam only supported virtual workload backups which was a severe limitation in a environment where physical workloads are sometimes required. This forced us to use other vendor platforms for physical workload backups. The Veeam agents allowed one platform to be used for backups.

Previous backup vendor software you had to do many different types of backups. One for file recovery and one for system recovery. When you have a lot of servers and small backup windows this pose a huge challenge. Veeam's flexible backup schedule also made a huge improvement. Last but not least, Veeam supporting the native snapshot technology from most well known vendors played a massive roll in ensuring backups having little to no impact on production while doing backups.

Veeam's compatiblity with Google Cloud Platform ensured that we could comply with the 3-2-1 rule and being able to offload backups to a cloud platform we are already fimiliar with. Being a Google Workspace customer this plays a huge role since we're already have access to the platform and are fimiliar with the workings of it.

We ahve not utilized this yet. This will be the next chapter to be introduced.
