Luca Dell'Oca, March 28, 2023March 28, 2023

In my previous article I introduced the new Veeam SOSAPI. In this following post, I will show you a bit more how it works under the hood. Using the filesytem as an the SOSAPI endpoint Veeam took an interesting and uncommon approach to a very specific problem: how do you…

A first look at the new Veeam SOSAPI

Luca Dell'Oca, March 14, 2023March 11, 2023

Veeam Backup & Replication v12 is all about Object storage. Not just because it can write data directly to it, but also because – thanks to the introduction of a new set of API called SOSAPI- Veeam and the storage that supports these new API can better work together.

Create a S3 Bucket with Object Lock in Scality Artesca for Veeam

Luca Dell'Oca, March 7, 2023March 1, 2023

Veeam Backup & Replication v12 is capable of writing backups directly to a Object storage. In my lab I use Scality Artesca as my S3-compatible object storage, so I created some new buckets to be used with Veeam. Let’s see how this can be done. The procedure can be useful also for people using different products.

Run your small DNS server with MaraDNS

Luca Dell'Oca, March 3, 2021March 3, 2021

For a new project I started last week I needed a DNS server in my home office. Usually, my router is my dns resolver, but it doesn’t allow to create authoritative zones. Windows 10 running on my laptop doesn’t have a DNS server either, and I don’t have an hypervisor in my home office to build a virtual machine; and it wouldn’t even be useful to spend so much time doing it for then using the DNS just a couple of hours.
So, I looked around and I found this tiny cool project called MaraDNS, that was perfect for my use case.

Veeam Backup for GCP and Multi-tenancy

Since we released Veeam Backup for Google Cloud Platform (can we call it VB4GCP from now on, do you mind?) a few weeks ago, many users have immediately started to use it. The use case of a single user protecting his resources is very easy to understand and configure, but today I’ve been asked by one of our service providers how could we configure the software to protect different customers from the same installation. Let’s test this in the lab!
