Hello,
for the remote backups as service providers to protect ours customers's data we can use the recycle bin feauture, and immutability featuer. for the remote replicas in this moment there is no protection: if a customer will be attacked from the inside, the hacker will be able to delete all remote vm.
can you implement a protecion?

Hi Filippo,

It's an interesting idea but it's unclear which technology can we use? We leverage the Immutability provided by the underlying storage, for example data lock mechanisms of Linux and Object Storage repositories. I'm not aware of any available for us method that can work at the vSphere datastore level to make .vmdk-s immutable.

As a workaround, you could consider the replication from backup and the source backups can be immutable.

Thanks!

one way you could protect it today would be by enabling Immutable Storage snapshots (in case your storage supports is).
this is nothing Veeam will orchestrate or offer natively right now but it would be something you can do on your own.
