Super Simple SOBR Migration: How to Move Your Veeam Capacity Tier to 11:11 Object Storage for Amazon S3

As you can tell I’m on a bit of a “migrate all the things” story arc here of late and today will be the latest installment. In my last post I covered using the VeeaMover capability to move backups between repositories or jobs but that is not an effective data migration mechanism if you’ve used the Capacity Tier “COPY” capability of a Veeam Scale Out Backup Repository (SOBR).

Better Network Visibility with New 11:11 Cloud Console Tools

When it comes to driving directions, it is easy to become dependent on a navigation system, especially when you are in an unfamiliar area. Unfortunately, when you run into one of those pesky locations that still don’t have wireless coverage you can quickly find yourself without much of an idea of where to turn next. Managing network infrastructure shouldn’t feel like navigating in the dark.

How to Make the Case for Cyber Resilience

Organizations are facing a new, critical challenge: how do you justify cybersecurity investments when cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, yet the risks can often seem abstract and hard to quantify? While executives understand that cyber threats are real, translating those threats into concrete business decisions remains a challenge.

Moving Beyond Compliance to True Resilience

Organisations can no longer afford to rely solely on achieving compliance as a defence strategy. Cyber threats are not only more sophisticated, they are relentless.

Finding the 'Just Right' Cloud Solution Through MSP Partnership

For IT decision makers, finding the right cloud solution can often be a tug of war between cost and performance. Overpromising on performance can lead to budget issues and underutilisation, while focusing too much on budgets can lead to solutions that don't deliver the required power. However, this may be a thing of the past, as cloud computing and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) models provide flexibility with performance and pricing. This, in theory, allows IT teams to choose a cloud solution that suits all of their needs.

Data Protection vs. Cyber Resilience: Mastering Both in a Complex IT Landscape

Today's always-on, hyperconnected world requires CIOs to confront two equally important concepts: data protection and cyber resilience. As reliance on data to fuel analytics, engineering, marketing, and other key operations increases, the complexity surrounding IT infrastructure grows in tandem. Hybrid workforces, edge computing, cloud-native applications, and legacy systems add further complexity to the mix.

Recovering Entra ID with Veeam

In my previous post, we explored the reasons and methods for safeguarding Microsoft Entra ID data using Veeam Backup & Replication. While having secure, encrypted backups is essential, their value diminishes if you can’t restore them when it matters most. In this post, we’ll dive into the recovery process step by step. If you’ll remember there are a number of object types within Entra ID that can be protected at this time and they are.

DORA Non-Compliance Could Cost Your Business

Prompted by a new era of cyber-attacks surging downtime and data breaches, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) regulation came into force on 17th of January to reshape how organisations approach security, privacy and cybersecurity. Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly daring and creative, with an expected rise in the exploitation of new vulnerabilities in 2025.

Helping the Financial Sector Deliver Secure and Modern Infrastructure through Regulation

In 2024, ransomware continues to be the most prevalent form of cyber-attack, affecting three out of four organisations, according to Veeam. The increasing frequency and sophistication of these attacks are driven by easy access to ransomware kits on the dark web and the significant profits cybercriminals generate through extortion schemes.

Protecting Entra ID with Veeam

If you’re not familiar with Entra, you might still think of it as “the artist formerly known as Azure Active Directory.” While its roots lie in being a cloud-based Active Directory (AD), Entra has evolved far beyond that. The name change reflects its expanded capabilities, making it much more than just AD. Many of our customers leverage Microsoft 365 or other Azure services that rely on the Entra platform.
