The best way to learn is doing. This is not a slide deck or sales pitch. It is a working session where you’ll configure, protect, and recover data yourself, gaining practical skills you can apply immediately. During the lab, you’ll build and test a complete backup protection workflow.
- Deploy and configure an Object First OOTBI appliance
- Create storage buckets and manage access credentials
- Navigate and manage the OOTBI interface
- Connect OOTBI to Veeam as a backup repository
- Create and run a Veeam backup job
- Experience immutable backup protection in action
- See how backup deletion attempts are blocked, even from attackers
- Restore a virtual machine using Veeam Instant Recovery
- We also have something fun planned to celebrate a successful day of learning.
Gain a clear understanding of today's ransomware landscape and why attackers target backup infrastructure more often. By the end of this session, you'll have:
- Practical experience with Veeam and Object First from their experts
- A deeper understanding of ransomware-resistant backup strategies
- Confidence in deploying immutable backup storage
- Proven recovery techniques you can use in your own environment
