Veeam DataLabs<\/h4>\n

Veeam DataLabs (formely Virtual Labs) allow workloads to be tested in an isolated environment<\/strong> to verify backup recoverability, test patches and check for security vulnerabilities. Update 4 enhances Veeam DataLabs capabilities introducing Staged Restore and Secure Restore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staged restore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staged restore feature is available in the Enterprise edition<\/strong> and allows the administrators to restore workloads to an isolated environment<\/strong>\u00a0(no impact on production) in order to modify the guest OS before moving the VM to production. This capability can be used to inject and run scripts, remove or add specific applications, OS settings, and remove sensitive data to be GDPR compliant before finalizing the restore on production.<\/p>\n

Secure Restore<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this feature VMs can be scanned against viruses or ransomware<\/strong> before restoring to production. VM disks are mounted to the Mount Server<\/strong> associated with the Backup Repository and scanned with a supported antivirus (Windows Defender, Symantec Protection Engine, ESET NOD32 out-of-the-box and potentially any AV that provides a basic command line interface) installed on the Mount Server.<\/p>\n
