HyTrust and their CloudAdvisor product has some great integration with Veeam, in a world where new regulations and rules are upon us but also the vast amount of data we have to manage. One thing we have not really had is visibility into data types within the backup set. When it comes to data within your backups it is important to understand what types of data is being stored within your backup files. Now this can be achieved through indexing and search but take that requirement one step further and think how could we search against a specific type of data, credit card information forRead More →

One of the main principles of GDPR is the way in which personal data is processed, this means we must consider things like risk analysis, organisational policies, physical and technical measures. Later in the post I am going to touch on pseudonymisation and encryption and how these can be used to assist the measures to becoming compliant. The measures must ensure “confidentiality, integrity and availability” of systems, services and personal data. My favourite is there must be the ability to restore access and availability to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or a technical incident. Does this mean theRead More →

I expect everyone has been experiencing the annoying calls and emails asking if you have been involved in an accident or you are entitled to something because of something even though neither has taken place. Well by all means this has not been done by breaking any laws! But these companies have obtained your information through some ways or means. With GDPR this should tighten this action from happening. One of the key points moving forward or after the 25th May 2018, consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. It cannot be buried in lengthy terms and conditions. This will make it muchRead More →

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect this Friday (25th May) Hopefully this is not new news to anyone that must adhere to this new regulation, if it is then there are heaps of content out there and I summarised the Veeam efforts here in another blog post – Veeam & GDPR – The Journey to being GDPR Compliant Last week, Veeam had their annual conference VeeamON in Chicago, at the conference I was fortunate enough to team up with some fellow Veeamers to talk about theRead More →

A few months back I touched on a cool new capability within Veeam Backup & Replication called Location tagging allowing administrators to mark the location of their physical constructs. This in turn can be used for GDPR and data locality but also other rules and regulations a company may have to adhere to. This post will go into the capabilities that this then extends to Veeam ONE in terms of being able to report against these locations and more importantly be able to highlight location violations that may have occurred within the company. At the same time Veeam Backup & Replication was updated to updateRead More →

Veeam and GDPR As we move close to that GDPR-Day of the 25th May 2018,I wanted to collate all of the related blogs, white papers and other media together so that they could be seen and read. The need to become compliant should have already started for most but for some it’s been put in the corner. It’s happening people. I have to share this link as well as I thought the URL was great. https://howmanydaystill.com/its/gdpr Veeam were very cautious about just releasing the next GDPR compliant message and marketing which generally speaking is completely false, there is not one backup vendor that can makeRead More →

A new feature in Veeam Backup & Replication & ONE 9.5 update 3 this is location tagging; location tagging is going to give some additional information to our infrastructure and our backup data. With the year 2018 being branded not only the year of data but also the year of GDPR. These location tags are going to help not only from a reporting point of view on where your data is residing but also when it comes to restores especially out of location restores. Veeam ONE will also be able to report on these tags ensuring you know where the data is and if itRead More →
