Summary
This demonstration showcases Veeam Data Platform's Secure Restore capabilities for recovering virtual machines after a cyber attack without reintroducing threats. The video walks through the restore workflow, highlighting options for instant recovery of NAS, file shares, and virtual workloads with granular restore capabilities at the disk, file, or application level. A key focus is the Secure Restore function, which integrates antivirus scanning and YARA rule-based threat detection directly into the recovery process. Administrators can configure automated scanning to iterate through restore points until a clean backup is found, with options to disable network access or abort the restore if threats are detected. The demo also emphasizes the flexibility to restore directly to cloud environments, which is particularly valuable when on-premises infrastructure remains unavailable due to forensic investigations or cyber insurance requirements. The instant recovery process mounts read-only backups with delta disks for changes, allowing safe validation before migrating workloads to production.
