Backup and Recovery Blog
Domain admin accounts live under a microscope. Security teams track who holds them, what systems they touched, and when. Backup infrastructure rarely gets the same level of scrutiny, and the Veeam and N-central cases we cover later in this article show exactly what that costs. A big chunk of that is a perception problem. Backup…
Zero Trust’s Promise and the Blind Spot Overview of modern zero‑trust architectures and their focus on users, devices and networks There is a reason why zero-trust is the current security paradigm for business security. By relying on the “never trust, always verify” mentality, it removes the implicit trust associated with being “inside the perimeter” –…
In recent years, organizations have collectively been investing over $200 billion in GPU infrastructure and foundation models for various AI applications.

The gap between what enterprises are constructing and what they’re supposed…
Introduction: Why Do Backups Matter for MongoDB? When using MongoDB in production, backup is essential – it can mean the difference between a recovery from an incident and permanent data loss. A database such as MongoDB containing user information, transactions, product information, or app state is a database where data integrity directly translates into business…
The Myth of Encrypted Backup Safety Encryption: a checkbox that many organizations have included as part of their backup plans – and rightfully so. Encryption ensures that the data it protects cannot be seen as it’s being transferred, as well as preventing theft of this data on lost/stolen backup media while meeting more and more…
When a ransomware group gets into an organization’s network, one of their most consistent priorities – after gaining a foothold and escalating privileges – is not to start targeting production data immediately. It’s to neutralize the backup infrastructure. To encrypt or destroy recovery copies prior to launching their main attack is the standard modus operandi…

Understanding ReiserFS and Its Importance ReiserFS backup strategies remain essential for system administrators who manage legacy Linux environments and RAID partitions. The filesystem, which was once a popular choice for handling small files efficiently, requires careful data protection planning due to its discontinued development status. Knowledge of the technical foundations of ReiserFS, its historical advantages,…
Introduction to Gluster Storage GlusterFS aims to address the growing demands of modern data infrastructure which uses a distributed storage system approach. Organizations increasingly rely on scalable storage solutions which manage petabytes of data across multiple servers and locations. The platform provides essential capabilities for backup operations and disaster recovery and high-availability configurations which are…
