If you\u2019re in charge of keeping your business data safe, you know that protecting it from ransomware and other threats is a top priority. One of the best ways to do this is using a 3-2-1-1 backup practice. That extra \u201c1\u201d in 3-2-1-1 stands for using immutable storage, such as on a Linux-based hardened repository.<\/p><p>In this article, I will show you how to turn your existing or aging server hardware into immutable backup storage to keep your data safe against ransomware. All you need is Veeam Backup &amp; Replication and StarWind VSAN that will perform a role of Hardened Repository. This is a super easy and efficient way to keep your data safe, and I\u2019ll walk you through the entire process step by step.<\/p><h2><strong>Why immutability?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Firstly, let\u2019s talk about why backups have to be immutable. Essentially, it means that once a backup is made, it can\u2019t be deleted or changed. This is important for crucial data because it means that even if a hacker gets into your system and tries to remove your backups, they won\u2019t be able to. This is why write-once-read-many (WORM) storage media like tape libraries and optical media are commonly used for backups. However, these types of media can be a bit of a pain to manage because they need to be rotated and replaced regularly to align with retention policies.<\/p><h2><strong>What\u2019s the easiest way to enable immutability?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><p>This is where Veeam B&amp;R comes in \u2013 it\u2019s an industry-standard backup solution that works with most storage media types, including physical and virtual tapes. What\u2019s more, in Veeam B&amp;R v11, they added support for\u00a0 Hardened Backup Repositories, allowing to enable immutability for backups without using object storage or any specialized third-party solutions. You can find the deployment documentation for this on\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/helpcenter.veeam.com\/docs\/backup\/vsphere\/hardened_repository_deploy.html?ver=110%22%20\\\\t%20%22_blank%22%20\\t%20%22_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Veeam<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/helpcenter.veeam.com\/docs\/backup\/vsphere\/hardened_repository_deploy.html?ver=110%22%20\\\\t%20%22_blank%22%20\\t%20%22_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">\u00a0B&amp;R KB<\/a>.<\/p><p>Now, you could go through the process of setting up a Linux server and configuring it to work with Veeam B&amp;R, but it\u2019s not exactly a walk in the park. However, there\u2019s good news \u2013 we\u2019ve made it super simple with StarWind VSAN.<a class=\"fancybox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37.png\" data-fancybox=\"fancy-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25239\" title=\"Diagram: StarWind VSAN as Hardened Repository for Veeam B&amp;R - img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1144px) 100vw, 1144px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37.png\" alt=\"Diagram: StarWind VSAN as Hardened Repository for Veeam B&amp;R\" width=\"1144\" height=\"914\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37.png 1144w, https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37-750x599.png 750w\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-original=\"https:\/\/www.starwindsoftware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/var-folders-1v-pwy60yxx48qf73skyj6y2q3m0000gn-t-c-37.png\" data-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>We\u2019ve developed a set of management tools that are pre-configured in the web console, so you can easily set up a storage server using commodity hardware.
