Veritas Backup Exec is enough to beat Ransomware attacks
Hi all, I'm using BE for severall years to protect my data, from physical to virtual servers and also from specific data, like SQL databass and exchange stores. Now i do use BE installed on one server wich is connected to 3 physical disks storage using only iSCSI protocol to those destinations to backup and duplicate the data between those places. I recently was involved in a restoration of a company data, wich was attacked by ransonware, named Pedantback@protonmail wich is a recent Matrix variant. The attack was made, by not using the normalexe bot wich seeks shares and infect them, no, the attack was done by the hacker connected on the servers, by RDP, SSH... and once inside we started the ecryption process of everything he could access from the servers. Regarding all this, if i'm using normal disk based copies, even with iSCSI for the network not reach directly those repositories, if for instance i activate the BE encrypetd copies, that could help anything, against such a kind of attack. Or just have to be doing backups, manually to places and them turn them off. Best backups for all934Views0likes2Comments
