I like these three points that the warranty provides: Whilst having “Warranty” doesn’t provide complete coverage to all scenarios for ransomware attacks, I do think Veeam’s approach can add quality to “Securing Backups”, and this also shows commitment to customers that they are an ideal technology partner.

Veeam have announced offering up to $5m to cover costs of data recovery in the event of a successful ransomware attack and that Veeam is unable to recover the data (to be eligible you must meet the T’s &C’s) more details here link Here are three things I love with the new release, what are your thoughts?

There have been many exciting new features and announcements with v12.
