Data protection giant Veeam Software Inc. today debuted a new release of its Veeam Backup & Replication platform, set to roll out in a few days, that features what the company describes as “ransomware-safe” backup data repositories.
The release also brings a wealth of other enhancements, including a Mac client and expanded integrations with public clouds.
Columbus, Ohio-based Veeam is a major player in the data protection software market, with annual revenues north of $1 billion. The company was acquired by Insight Partners for $5 billion early last year.
Veeam Backup & Replication v11, the new product release, introduces so-called hardened Linux repositories for storing backups. The repositories provide protection against ransomware by storing backups in a format that can’t be deleted or or encrypted. Veeam implemented the feature on Linux, which means it works in any supported Linux environment and doesn’t require specialized hardware to use.
