This optional component makes it possible to flexibly distribute licenses across systems, particularly for large backup infrastructures with numerous servers and backup repositories. Changes to the backup servers’ volumes - such as adding additional repositories or adjusting storage sizes - are automatically accounted for during licensing and no longer require manual intervention. The familiar, simple management for small and medium-sized environments remains available. The licensing price for Blocky for Veeam® is based on the total capacity of the backup drive and is virtually insignificant compared to the cost of a successful ransomware attack.

Blocky for Veeam® – the last line of defense against ransomware

For over a decade, ransomware has been one of the greatest potential threats to businesses and organizations worldwide in the digital space. Traditional protection mechanisms are being bypassed by cybercriminals, and companies are suffering millions in damages due to the encryption of their data and backups. The last and most secure line of defense is a protected backup that ransomware cannot access.

Blocky for Veeam® from GRAU DATA is the solution that reliably protects NTFS/ReFS backup volumes from encryption by ransomware or other manipulations at the administrator level. This highly easy-to-implement protection solution is based on GRAU DATA WORM technology, which has been proven over many years. This technology consistently prevents any data manipulation by ransomware. For backup operations, only the Veeam® backup software is granted access to the backup data via the unique and secure fingerprint authentication process. All other delete and write access attempts, particularly those from malware, are consistently blocked.
