Harden Repository can't boot to OS

[moshe.mazor@hpe.com]

Hi guys, I have an interesting event from one of my customers.
He was attacked by ransomware and the attacker also attacked the linux harden repository by deleting some OS files and now the server can't boot.
Is there a way to remount the mount point of the backup files if I reinstall only to OS? the OS is install on different disk... It's Ubuntu server

Hello Moshe

I'm not a Linux expert, but reinstalling the OS and then mounting existing volumes can be done using standard Linux procedures and CLI commands.

For the initial configuration in Veeam Backup & Replication, you only need to ensure that you have an operational Linux machine with SSH enabled. Once that's set, you can add this server as a new hardened repository in the backup server and then rescan the backups. After the rescan, you can start recovering data and/or modify the backup job to map it to the backup files on the newly added repository.

Best,
Fabian

Thanks Fabian,
Got it Thanks.

the procedure to add existing volume you need to do the following:
1. Identify the Volume
lsblk

2. Create a Mount Point
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/data

3. Mount the Volume
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data
