Description

1

Repository

This is understood to be the place where backups are stored. A repository can be file systems, network storage systems, or part of a cloud storage service like VNG.

2

Replication

This is considered the process of backing up data from one location to multiple locations, which helps increase data recovery capabilities.

3

Job

This is a task configured to perform data backup; a job can be scheduled to run automatically at a specific time or executed manually.

4

Bucket

This is understood as a container used to store data objects. In Veeam, a Bucket is used to store backup copies in the cloud.

5

Recovery

This is the process of restoring data from backups, which can restore files, virtual machines, or specific applications that have been backed up.

6

Tape

This refers to tape storage. Veeam allows data backup using tape, which is a traditional storage medium that is cost-effective.

7

Immutable

This feature helps protect backup data from being altered or deleted. When data is marked as "immutable," it cannot be changed or deleted for a specified period of time, helping to protect against ransomware attacks or hackers.

8

Ransomware

This is malicious software in which hackers encrypt data and demand a ransom to decrypt it. Therefore, Veeam provides data protection by using the Immutable function.

9

Event log

This is understood as a record that logs all detailed events occurring within Veeam. The event log helps administrators monitor and troubleshoot issues.
