List

No.	Terms	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.
