Veritas Alta Recovery Vault Mania!!

Hi Friends,

I've been away for a bit heads down working on some really cool backup and recovery stuff!  In particular I'm working on a product called Veritas Alta Recovery Vault which is built right into Veritas NetBackup.  Alta Recovery Vault uses MSDP-C magic and connects you to Azure or AWS (your choice) storage that you can use as backups!

The super cool thing about the Alta Recovery Vault is it's immutable and can't be expired or overwritten in the event a threat actor gets access to your backup system.  This is huge since threat actors are not just locking up networks and computers anymore, they're also expiring backups to ensure you have nothing to go back to once your network is infected and/or locked.

Are you thinking of transitioning to the cloud or already have backups on one cloud vendor and want to have backups on a second vendor?  Alta Recovery Vault has you covered in all of those scenarios and it's also SUPER easy to setup!

Check out my new video on how to setup Alta Recovery Vault immutable storage here:

and then check out this Alta Recovery Vault video where I go into the backup system, take a backup using traditional non-immutable storage and then one on immutable storage.  I go into the catalog and delete the non-immutable image, but can't delete the immutable copy on Alta Recovery Vault!
