Today the object lock functionality is supported by AWS S3 of course but also Zadara VPSA Object Storage (v 20.01 or later), Ceph (v14.2.6 or later) and Cloudian (v 7.2 or later). There’s actually a growing list of object storage solutions and vendors implementing the latest AWS S3 API, both as cloud based solutions but also for on-premises solutions using either a hardware- or a software approach. It’s built on an AWS S3 feature called Object lock, eventhough it’s originally from AWS that doesn’t mean that it’s only available for AWS users.

A few different reasons but the biggest to me is that you can protect your data from being tampered with just as with tape but unlike tape your data is still online and accesible.

One of the most interesting and useful features in Veeam Backup & Replication version 10 is the “replacement for tapes”-feature called Immutability. In this blog post I’ll share how to setup Cloudian HyperStore 7.2.1, create an immutable bucket and how to make use of it in Veeam Backup & Replication v10 for testing purposes and getting your hands dirty with object lock which in essence will provide ransomware protection but first let me talk a little bit about why this is a big deal.
